Faith and Knowledge
Sloan explores the impact that the Protestant theological renaissance (1925-1960) had on American colleges and universities, focusing in particular on the church's most significant claim to have a continuing voice in higher education. He traces the role of the national ecumenical and denominational organizations, and studies the changing place of college chaplains
Knowledge, Values, and Educational History
Proxies for Birth Control
Kelly and Cutright (1983), using regression techniques, conclude that birth control is among the more important determinants of Swedish illegitimacy. To derive this conclusion, they use changes in the marital fertility of wives aged 35-39 as a proxy for birth control. They maintain that annual change in the marital fertility rate of wives aged 35-39 is not likely to be greatly influenced by annual change in factors other than birth control. The "…
Has Fecundability been Declining in Recent Years in Developed Countries?
2 objections may be lodged against James (1981) who offers evidence that Western fecundability has been declining. His argument, together with the author's previous comment, engenders concern about the effect of technological change on reproductive ability.

For many years demographers have cited their estimates of contraceptive use as an incontrovertible refutation of biological or biosocial theories of the Western fertility declines. Besides ignoring the many biological reasons for family limitation, however, this argument ignores the several procedures demographers have built into their contraceptive surveys to increase the proportion of respondents who can be classed as users. The biases engender…

The Teaching of Ethics in the American Undergraduate Curriculum, 1876-1976
This article is an attempt to look at main developments and issues in the teaching of ethics to undergraduates during the past century. Although I had suspected as much, it was not until I was well under way in working on the piece that I began to realize the extent to which a look at the teaching of ethics provides, as it were, a central window on the whole of American higher education. The teaching of ethics has been uniquely and inseparably co…
