The essays in this book seek to establish a true sociology of
education. Their primary concern is the relationship between formal
education and other social forces through the ages. Thus, the book
combines the history of higher education with social history in
order to understand the process of historical change. To ascertain
the responses of the universities to such broad social changes as
the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Industrial Revolution,
the authors ask such questions as: who were the students and how
many were there? how did they get to the university and why did
they come? how did they spend their time and what did they learn?
what jobs did they fill and how did what they learned help them in
later life? how have faculty members viewed their roles over the
years? Lawrence Stone is Dodge Professor of History at Princeton
University, Chairman of the History Department, and Director of the
Shelby Cullom Davis Center for Historical Studies. Originally
published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
