520    In A New Moral Vision, Andrea L. 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. --
