Turpin explores how the entrance of women into U.S. colleges and universities shaped changing ideas about the moral and religious purposes of higher education in unexpected ways, and in turn profoundly shaped American culture. In the decades before the Civil War, evangelical Protestantism provided the main impetus for opening the highest levels of American education to women. Between the Civil War and World War I, however, shifting theological beliefs, a growing cultural pluralism, and a new emphasis on university research led educators to reevaluate how colleges should inculcate an ethical outlook in students—just as the proportion of female collegians swelled. In this environment, Turpin argues, educational leaders articulated a new moral vision for their institutions by positioning them within the new landscape of competing men's, women's, and coeducational colleges and universities. In place of fostering evangelical conversion, religiously liberal educators sought to foster in students a surprisingly more gendered ideal of character and service than had earlier evangelical educators. Because of this moral reorientation, the widespread entrance of women into higher education did not shift the social order in as egalitarian a direction as we might expect. Instead, college graduates—who formed a disproportionate number of the leaders and reformers of the Progressive Era—contributed to the creation of separate male and female cultures within Progressive Era public life and beyond. Drawing on extensive archival research at ten trend-setting men's, women's, and coeducational colleges and universities, A New Moral Vision illuminates the historical intersection of gender ideals, religious beliefs, educational theories, and social change in ways that offer insight into the nature—and cultural consequences—of the moral messages communicated by institutions of higher education today. -- Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Women in higher education|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Women in higher education|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Education, Higher|xMoral and ethical aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Education, Higher|xMoral and ethical aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Universities and colleges|zUnited States|xReligion. 650 7 HISTORY|zUnited States|y19th Century.|2bisacsh 650 7 Education, Higher|xMoral and ethical aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00903079 650 7 Universities and colleges|xReligion.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01161852 650 7 Women in higher education.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177898 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781501704789|z1501704788|w(DLC) 2016011448|w(OCoLC)945121353 914 ocn960833546 914 ocn960833546 994 92|bGTK 998 rho|b11-06-17|cm|dz|e-|feng|gnyu|h2
