  • David G. Schuster, Neurasthenic Nation: America's Search for Health, Happiness, and Comfort, 1869-1920

    Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, H HorowitzARTICLESocial History of Medicine2012

    In this concise history, David G. Schuster's appropriately titled Neurasthenic Nation provides important insights and perspectives on the way in which Americans in the period understood the relation of mind and body. At the moment when neurologists were seeking to define a specialty, Dr George Miller Beard gave neurasthenia its name, meaning deficiency of nerve strength, and publicised it to a broad audience. Although exhibiting no organic causes…

  • In the Wake of Laurence Veysey: Re-examining the Liberal Arts College

    Open AccessHelen Lefkowitz HorowitzARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly2005Cited by: 3References: 2

    In The Emergence of the American University , Laurence R. Veysey enriched our understanding of the American university at its creation in the second half of the nineteenth century. He demonstrated how this new institution drew on German approaches and valued experimental, empirical methods of knowledge. The university introduced the lecture and seminar. It valued graduate school training above all; the doctoral dissertation required that its stud…

  • J. B. Jackson as a Critic of Modern Architecture

    Open AccessHelen Lefkowitz HorowitzARTICLEGeographical Review1998Cited by: 2

    Understanding what the American landscape meant to J. B. Jackson requires an exploration of his background, education, and antagonism to the International Style. No full critique of modernism appears in Jackson's mature published work. However, knowledge that the first issues of Landscape magazine in 1951 and 1952 were the work of a single author leads to discovery of Jackson's pseudonyms, especially H. G. West, P. G. Anson, G. A. Feather, and A.…

    The Support of Culture and New Federalism in the United States. Since the Hatch Act of 1887, and up to the end of the 1970s, federal intervention in the cultural field has considerably increased.

The reduction of aid programs and the transfer of responsibilities from Washington to the States were called «New Federalism». The objective was …

  • The 1960s and the Transformation of Campus Cultures

    Helen Lefkowitz HorowitzARTICLEHistory of Education Quarterly1986Cited by: 2

    The time has come to take stock of the 1960s on college campuses, to examine the decade, and to assess its impact. As the offspring of undergraduates of the 1960s themselves now enter college, they remind us that what was once the immediate present has receded into history. My own concerns as a historian lead me to focus on the impact of the events and processes of the 1960s on student cultures. The 1960s profoundly reshaped undergraduate worlds.…
