Excerpt from Children's Interests in Reading: Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Philosophy, Columbia University The third and fourth grades are omitted for the purposes of this study, which extends from the fifth grade through the high school. One thousand five hundred returns were used from North Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, all cities of Colorado, since there were complete reports from these towns. According to the author war stories seem popular with third grade boys, and that liking remains well marked through the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Stories of adventure are popular with boys through the heroic period, reaching their maximum in the eighth and ninth grades. The liking for biography and travel or ex ploration grows gradually to a climax in the ninth grade and remains well up throughout the course. The tender sentiment has little charm for the average grade boy, and only in the high school course does he acknowledge any considerable use of love stories. In the sixth grade he is fond of detective stories but they lose their charm for him as he grows older. Stories of adventure are popular with the girls too in the sixth grade and stories of travel are always enjoyed. The girl likes biography, but in the high school, true to her sex, she prefers stories of great women rather than those of great men. Pity it is that the biographies of so few of the world's many great women are written. The taste for love stories increases steadily to the end of the high school course. Beyond that we have no records. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What do the technical practices, procedures, and systems that have shaped institutions of higher learning in the United States, from the Ivy League and women’s colleges to historically black colleges and land-grant universities, teach us about the production and distribution of knowledge? Addressing media theory, architectural history, and the history of academia, Knowledge Worlds reconceives the university as a media complex comprising a network of infrastructures and operations through which knowledge is made, conveyed, and withheld. Reinhold Martin argues that the material infrastructures of the modern university—the architecture of academic buildings, the configuration of seminar tables, the organization of campus plans—reveal the ways in which knowledge is created and reproduced in different kinds of institutions. He reconstructs changes in aesthetic strategies, pedagogical techniques, and political economy to show how the boundaries that govern higher education have shifted over the past two centuries. From colleges chartered as rights-bearing corporations to research universities conceived as knowledge factories, educating some has always depended upon excluding others. Knowledge Worlds shows how the division of intellectual labor was redrawn as new students entered, expertise circulated, science repurposed old myths, and humanists cultivated new forms of social and intellectual capital. Combining histories of architecture, technology, knowledge, and institutions into a critical media history, Martin traces the uneven movement in the academy from liberal to neoliberal reason.
