This implies that its object is, on\nthe one hand, intellectual, not moral; and, on the other,\nthat it is the diffusion and extension of knowledge rather\nthan the advancement. If its object were scientific and\nphilosophical discovery, I do not see why a University\nshould have students; if religious training, I do not see\nhow it can be the seat of literature and science.\n\n\nSuch is a University in its essence, and independently\nof its relation to the Church. But, practically speaking,\nit cannot fulfil its object duly, such as I have described\nit, without the Church's assistance; or, to use the theological\nterm, the Church is necessary for its integrity.\nNot that its main characters are changed by this incorporation:\nit still has the office of intellectual education;\nbut the Church steadies it in the performance of that\noffice.\n\n\nSuch are the main principles of the Discourses which\nfollow; though it would be unreasonable for me to expect\nthat I have treated so large and important a field\nof thought with the fulness and precision necessary to\nsecure me from incidental misconceptions of my meaning\non the part of the reader. It is true, there is nothing\n[pg ix]\nnovel or singular in the argument which I have been\npursuing, but this does not protect me from such misconceptions;\nfor the very circumstance that the views I\nhave been delineating are not original with me may lead\nto false notions as to my relations in opinion towards\nthose from whom I happened in the first instance to\nlearn them, and may cause me to be interpreted by the\nobjects or sentiments of schools to which I should be\nsimply opposed.\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 24526 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Newman, John Henry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 5, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Newman, John Henry,1801-1890 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218238537885,"sku":"gb-24526-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/24526.jpg?v=1671472406"},{"product_id":"psychologie-de-l-education-gb-31505","title":"Psychologie de l'éducation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePsychologie de l'éducation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCet ouvrage a eu beaucoup de lecteurs, 15 ditions\r\nsuccessives et des traductions en plusieurs langues[1]\r\nn'ont pas puis son succs.

From my\nwritings on education I have selected only those\nwhich may have some claim to permanent interest,\nand all but two have been tested by previous publication.\nThose of the first group deal with questions\nabout which we teachers, eager about our immeasurable\nart beyond most professional persons,\nnever cease to wonder and debate: What is teaching?\nHow far may it influence character? Can it be practiced\non persons too busy or too poor to come to our\nclass-rooms? To subjects of what scope should it be\napplied? And how shall we content ourselves with\nits necessary limitations? Under these diverse headings\na kind of philosophy of education is outlined.\nThe last two papers, having been given as lectures\nand stenographically reported, I have left in their\noriginal colloquial form. A group of papers on Harvard\nfollows, preceded by an explanatory note, and\nthe volume closes with a few papers by Mrs. Palmer.\nShe and I often talked of preparing together a book\non education. Now, alone, I gather up these fragments.\nIn America, a land of idealism, the profession of\nteaching has become one of the greatest of human\nemployments. In 1903-04 half a million teachers\nwere in charge of sixteen million pupils. Stating the\nsame facts differently, we may say that a fifth of our\nentire population is constantly at school; and that\nwherever one hundred and sixty men, women, and\nchildren are gathered, a teacher is sure to be among\nthem.\nBut figures fail to express the importance of the\nwork. If each year an equal number of persons\nshould come in contact with as many lawyers, no\nsuch social consequences would follow. The touch\nof the teacher, like that of no other person, is formative.\nOur young people are for long periods associated\nwith those who are expected to fashion them\ninto men and women of an approved type. A charge\nso influential is committed to nobody else in the\ncommunity, not even to the ministers; for though\nthese have a more searching aim, they are directly\noccupied with it but one day instead of six, but one\nhour instead of five. Accordingly, as the tract of\n4\nknowledge has widened, and the creative opportunities\ninvolved in conducting a young person over\nit have correspondingly become apparent, the profession\nof teaching has risen to a notable height of\ndignity and attractiveness. It has moved from a subordinate\nto a central place in social influence, and\nnow undertakes much of the work which formerly\nfell to the church. Each year divinity schools attract\nfewer students, graduate and normal schools more.\nOn school and college instruction the community\nnow bestows its choicest minds, its highest hopes,\nand its largest sums. During the year 1903-04\nthe United States spent for teaching not less than\n$350,000,000.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 36774 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Palmer, Alice Freeman \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 17, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Palmer, George Herbert, 1842-1933 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Palmer, Alice Freeman,1855-1902 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220401193117,"sku":"gb-36774-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/36774.jpg?v=1671551257"},{"product_id":"an-american-at-oxford-gb-38180","title":"An American at Oxford","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn American at Oxford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy a curious coincidence, the day on which the\r\nlast proof of this book was sent to the\r\nprinter saw the publication of the will of the late\r\nCecil Rhodes, providing that each of the United\r\nStates is forever to be represented at Oxford by\r\ntwo carefully selected undergraduate students.\r\nThat the plan will result in any speedy realization\r\nof the ideals of the great exponent of English\r\npower in the new worlds is perhaps not to\r\nbe expected. For the future of American education,\r\non the other hand, few things could be more\r\nfortunate. Native and independent as our national\r\ngenius has always been, and seems likely to\r\nremain, it has always been highly assimilative.\r\nIn the past, we have received much needed aliment\r\nfrom the German universities. For the present,\r\nthe elements of which we have most need may best,\r\nas I think, be assimilated from England.\nWhether or not Americans at Oxford become\r\nimbued with Mr. Rhodes's conceptions as to the\r\ndestiny of the English peoples, they can scarcely\r\nvi\r\nfail to observe that Oxford affords to its undergraduates\r\na very sensibly ordered and invigorating\r\nlife, a very sensibly ordered and invigorating education.\r\nThis, as I have endeavored to point out\r\nin the following pages, our American universities\r\ndo not now afford, nor are they likely to afford it\r\nuntil the social and the educational systems are\r\nmore perfectly organized than they have ever\r\nbeen, or seem likely to be, under the dominance\r\nof German ideals. If, however, the new Oxford-trained\r\nAmericans should ever become an important\r\nfactor in our university life, the future is\r\nbright with hope. We have assimilated, or are\r\nassimilating, the best spirit of German education;\r\nand if we were to make a similar draft on the\r\nbest educational spirit in England, our universities\r\nwould become far superior as regards their organization\r\nand ideals, and probably also as regards\r\nwhat they accomplish, to any in Europe. The purpose\r\nand result of an introduction of English\r\nmethods would of course not be to imitate foreign\r\ncustom, but to give fuller scope to our native character,\r\nso that if the American educational ideals\r\nin the end approximate the English more closely\r\nthan they do at present, such a result would be\r\nmerely incidental to the fact that the two countries\r\nvii\r\nhave at bottom much the same social character and\r\ninstincts. If Mr. Rhodes's dream is to be realized,\r\nit will probably be in some such tardy and roundabout\r\nbut admirably vital manner as this.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 38180 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Corbin, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Corbin, John,1870-1959 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220655112349,"sku":"gb-38180-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/38180.jpg?v=1671556787"},{"product_id":"higher-education-for-women-in-great-britain-gb-50840","title":"Higher Education for Women in Great Britain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigher Education for Women in Great Britain\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement for the education of girls is of recent\ngrowth, dating back less than a century, to the decade 1840-50.\nBefore that time there was no public provision for them,\neducational endowments being used for boys only. The\nearliest tangible sign of the progress of the movement was\nthe foundation in London of Queen's College, Bedford\nCollege and the North London Collegiate School for Girls,\nand in the provinces of the Cheltenham Ladies' College.\nThis inaugurated the era of public secondary education for\ngirls, who now have their large, well-equipped schools in\nevery town.\nAt first the education given was necessarily very simple;\nbut as the schoolgirls of the new age grew up, the need for\na more extended training became apparent. It was met\npartly by an extension of the teaching given in certain of\nthe schools; partly by the establishment of a system of\nlectures for older girls, notably at Queen's College, London,\nand in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester. Before long it\nbecame clear that some more systematic higher education\nmust be provided, and efforts were made to enlist the\nsympathies of the Universities. University professors undertook\nto repeat their lectures for the benefit of girls; but the\nnumber of girls was for some time too few to finance these\nschemes, and it was apparent that either their numbers must\nbe increased by the provision of residence, or expenses must\nbe reduced by obtaining the admission of girls to the classes\nheld for men. Both measures were attempted. A residential\nCollege for girls was established at Hitchin (1869), afterwards\nremoved to Girton, near Cambridge (1873); Newnham[Pg 4]\nHall (later \"College\") was founded in Cambridge in 1871;\nand in Oxford, Lady Margaret Hall (1878) and Somerville\nHall (later \"College\") (1879). Before long residence in or\nnear London was provided by Bedford College, Westfield\nCollege, and the Royal Holloway College at Englefield\nGreen in Surrey.\nMeanwhile, a great impetus had been given in 1878 to\nthe higher education of women throughout England by the\nopening to them of the examinations and degrees of the\nUniversity of London. This University was at that time\npurely an examining body, and teaching had to be provided\nlocally; but the possibility of obtaining the hall-mark of a\nUniversity degree greatly increased the number of girls seeking\ninstruction in the provincial towns, and many institutions\ngradually opened their doors, among the first being\nOwens College, afterwards the University of Manchester.\nAt Glasgow, Queen Margaret College, availing itself largely\nof the services of University lecturers, was founded in 1883.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 50840 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Sheavyn, Phoebe \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 4, 2016 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Sheavyn, Phoebe \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43222156050589,"sku":"gb-50840-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/50840_bd9d8df1-1026-438e-a6fc-0f7b0be228bc.jpg?v=1671773870"},{"product_id":"college-prolongs-infancy-gb-68570","title":"College prolongs infancy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollege prolongs infancy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e... the ideals and methods which\r\nare dynamic in our institutions of\r\nhigher learning are false.

In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors--like diversity, money, and, ultimately, whether a student will enroll if accepted. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most insightful books ever about \"getting in\" and what higher education has become, \u003ci\u003eWho Gets In and Why \u003c\/i\u003enot only provides an unusually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Selingo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982116293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2020 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeffrey Selingo has written about colleges and universities for more than two and a half decades and is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of three books. \u003ci\u003eWho Gets In and Why: A Year Inside College Admissions\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers inside the admissions offices of three selective universities and was named among the 100 Notable Books of the year by \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eDream School: Finding the College That's Right For You\u003c\/i\u003e is based on two-plus years of research and an original survey of more than 3,000 parents.

Yet, as Anne Trumbore shows in \u003ci\u003eThe Teacher in the Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, the promises of today's cutting-edge technologies aren't new. Long before the excitement about the disruptive potential of generative AI-powered tutors and massive open online courses, scholars at Stanford, MIT, and the University of Illinois in the 1960s and 1970s were encouraged by the US government to experiment with computers and artificial intelligence in education. Trumbore argues that the contrast between these two eras of educational technology reveals the changing role of higher education in the United States as it shifted from a public good to a private investment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting from a unique insider's perspective and drawing on interviews with key figures, historical research, and case studies, Trumbore traces today's disparate discussions about generative AI, student loan debt, and declining social trust in higher education back to their common origins at a handful of elite universities fifty years ago. Arguing that those early educational experiments have resonance today, Trumbore points the way to a more equitable and collaborative pedagogical future. Her account offers a critical lens on the history of technology in education just as universities and students seek a stronger hand in shaping the future of their institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Trumbore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691198767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Trumbore\u003c\/b\u003e is Chief Digital Learning Officer at the Sands Institute for Lifelong Learning at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.

Beginning in the spring of 2024, he launched a massive investigation into how our polarized politics have remade the college experience, interviewing students across the country and polling thousands more. He looked at liberal arts colleges, state schools, faith-based institutions, and elite universities and combed through studies tracking everything from campus dating habits to changes in syllabi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What he found was startling: Undergraduates today are choosing their schools, their friends, their partners, their activities--even their majors--on the basis of their political beliefs to a degree unimaginable ten years ago, with the goal of interacting as little as possible with anyone whose views don't line up with their own. Popular campus dating apps invite you to swipe left if you don't like someone's political profile--a metaphor for today's college experience writ large. Instead of resisting this trend, some faculty and administrators encouraged it, creating a cloistered environment where students could avoid uncomfortable disagreement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhat Happened to College?\u003c\/i\u003e paints a picture of an educational system in crisis and ripe for change.

What are these campus communities doing right? Can we teach college students to disagree better? At a time of growing political stridency, nothing could be more necessary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Gross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avid Reader Press \/ Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668200445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sociologist known for his data-driven explorations of campus politics and American life, Neil Gross is the Charles A.
