Annotations for Yale’s Reports of 1828

Abstract

Most of these annotations are based on the citations and a few phrases recorded by Jeremiah Day in the margins of his manuscript for Part One of the faculty report. They show his careful reading of the literature on higher education published from 1825 through mid-1828. Day’s manuscript is in the Yale University Archives, Day Family Papers MS 175 Series III Box 29 Folder 347 “misc. undated.” Headings for each of the annotations applied to the first section of the faculty report, drafted by Day, generally reproduce his citations. A few changes have been made to clarify Day’s use of volume and page numbers and his references to titles. Where Day refers to the American Journal of Education as J.Ed., for example, I have used AJE.
