American And German Research Universities Between The Beginning And End Of The German Reich, Mcclelland, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2020

American And German Research Universities Between The Beginning And End Of The German Reich, Mcclelland, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Departing from a sketch of the “German-American” interaction in higher education starting around the beginning of the nineteenth century, moves on to the main focus on the half-century between about 1890 and 1940, concentrating only marginally on student movements and experience but more on autochthonous institutional developments.


The Emergence Of Modern Higher Education: The German University And Its Influence, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2019

The Emergence Of Modern Higher Education: The German University And Its Influence, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Explores the main significance of the German university in its pioneering emphasis on the search for new knowledge rather than the transmission, from older to younger generations, of relatively static professional canons. Teaching staff came increasingly to be recruited from scholars and scientists who had researched, discovered and made public new interpretations and were expected to continue to do so as a part of their official duties.

The German Model For American Medical Reform, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2012

The German Model For American Medical Reform, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

The Flexner Report of 1910, which radically transformed American medical education and medical schools, may be seen not so much as a completely novel initiative as the culmination of a longer transfer of models from Germany, with which Flexner was intimately acquainted.


Mas Allá De Krause: Julián Sanz Del Río En Heidelberg Y La Subcultura Académica En La Nueva Universidad De Madrid, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2012

Mas Allá De Krause: Julián Sanz Del Río En Heidelberg Y La Subcultura Académica En La Nueva Universidad De Madrid, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Sanz del Rio's fame as a founder of the Spanish philosophical-moral movement Krausismo -- although buried by the Franco regime -- has been rehabilitated somewhat recently. But Sanz' grasp of what was in any case a relatively obscure and minor German philosophical cult may have been far less important than his lengthy personal stay in Heidelberg and the friendships he established there, notably with the historian G.G. Gervinus.


"American Examples For German Universities: Admitting Women Before World War I", Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2011

"American Examples For German Universities: Admitting Women Before World War I", Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Women were not allowed to enroll a regular students in Prussian universities until 1909, although most other German states had already changed this policy. This chapter analyzes the terms of controversy swirling around the issue, and how American university policies ultimately helped bring about the change.


Inszenierte Weltgeltung Einer Prima Inter Pares? Die Berliner Universität Und Ihr Jubiläum 1910“ [Staged World Respect For A Prima Inter Pares? Berlin University And Its Jubilee In 1910], Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2010

Inszenierte Weltgeltung Einer Prima Inter Pares? Die Berliner Universität Und Ihr Jubiläum 1910“ [Staged World Respect For A Prima Inter Pares? Berlin University And Its Jubilee In 1910], Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

"Before the twin catastrophes of the Third Reich and World War II, Berlin was the intellectual epicenter of the world and the Humboldt [University] the university in Berlin.” But there were already signs at the celebration of its centenary in 1910 that its place at the pinnacle of world research universities had reached its apogee.


Learned Professions And Jews In Modern Germany And Their Heritage For Israel, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 2009

Learned Professions And Jews In Modern Germany And Their Heritage For Israel, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

The crisis of German professional life under Hitler was especially fateful for German Jews. When postwar German professional life had to be rebuilt, one of the hardest tasks was to reconnect with the fundamental values of modern professional activity without the emigrated and murdered German Jews who had been so instrumental in sustaining those values. The shape of Israeli professional life can be traced in some as yet little-explored ways back to influences brought to bear by German and other Central and Eastern European émigrés whose professionalization models before migration to Eretz Yisrael had much to do with the German …

Boundaries And Possibilities Of Humanistic Higher Education In The Late Holy Roman Empire, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1999

Boundaries And Possibilities Of Humanistic Higher Education In The Late Holy Roman Empire, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

English original of a conference paper whose purpose is not to say much significantly new about "graduates of European artistic faculties" 16-18 Centuries, but to point out boundaries of meaning about what scholars do discover. Perhaps by deconstructing and analyzing such heuristic categories of "professional studies", "units of socialization" and the "certification of knowledge" we can gain new insights into the great transformation that universities were beginning to undergo already in the last centuries of the Holy Roman Empire.


Modern German Doctors: A Failure Of Professionalization?, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1997

Modern German Doctors: A Failure Of Professionalization?, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Even if we can assume that the vast majority of German physicians had nothing to do with medical "perversions," there must have been reasons why so many went along with other aims of the Nazi regime, at least initially. Were they more susceptible than other professional groups? If so, is there indeed something peculiar about their experience of professionalization?


American Reform Efforts: German Professional Education After World War Ii, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1997

American Reform Efforts: German Professional Education After World War Ii, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

An exploration of educational reform and specifically to three areas in which the American occupation of post-war Germany influenced the shape of professional education in the 1940s and beyond.


"Young Germans, Not Young Greeks And Romans": Art, Culture And Educational Reform In Wilhelmine Germany, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1996

"Young Germans, Not Young Greeks And Romans": Art, Culture And Educational Reform In Wilhelmine Germany, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

The demand to inculcate young Germans in a modern and German-nationalist spirit rather than the traditional reverence for classical antiquity emanated from no lesser person than Wilhelm II in 1890. But the previously little-examined backstage of reformed professional education and decision-making in lesser civil-service offices, private schools and impersonal art markets were real driving forces for change, including the embrace of what we call modernism.


The Professionalization Of Artists: A New Approach To The Social History Of Art, Mcclelland Jan 1996

The Professionalization Of Artists: A New Approach To The Social History Of Art, Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Perhaps because of the somewhat inchoate and seemingly disorganized nature of the world of the arts, most students of modern social history and professions have steered clear of engagement with this fascinating crowd. Yet further acquaintance with the subject reveals that artists did in fact attempt to professionalize, and -- even if their efforts were not as successful as those of some others -- these efforts left a clear record of articulated demands and statements.


The Problem Of Artists As Professionals In Germany, Mcclelland Jan 1995

The Problem Of Artists As Professionals In Germany, Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

The social history of art, or more precisely, the social history of artists, has until fairly recently been an abused stepchild of both art history and "mainstream" history. Yet historians have at their disposal from the nineteenth century on increasingly rich material on both individual and collective artistic life. These sources have not been fully exploited.


Professionalization In Comparative Perspective: Germany, Mcclelland Jan 1990

Professionalization In Comparative Perspective: Germany, Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

critical social-history consciousness has abandoned to some degree the old notion that modern "professions" in the Anglo-Saxon sense could not "really" exist in Central Europe because of the heavy and early bureaucratization and/or the persistence of "feudal" or at least Stand (etat) traditions. Instead, most accept the notion of a process of dialogue between independent professions and bureaucratic authority.


German Intellectual History, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1986

German Intellectual History, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Reflections on the status of the subfield of German intellectual history in the American historical profession and how that status was created over the century of the existence of the American Historical Association.


Berlin Historians And German Politics, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1973

Berlin Historians And German Politics, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

By the dawn of the twentieth century, German historians, like "the German academic community as a whole, had fallen into the role of a vaguely conservative and decidedly official establishment." The last third of the nineteenth century had seen the triumph of Prussia over the academic world as well as the political communities of the German lands, with the cultural policy and impulses of Berlin deeply influencing the direction of German historiography and political thought. This influence took the form of an accommodation of power and idealism rather than a purge of the universities, which were the undisputed home of …


History In The Service Of Politics: A Reassessment Of G. G. Gervinus, Charles E. Mcclelland Jan 1971

History In The Service Of Politics: A Reassessment Of G. G. Gervinus, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Gervinus's political and scholarly position in nineteenth-century Germany deserves re-examination. Gervinus was a more complicated figure than some of his recent East German champions allege and a much more interesting scholar than his dismissive contemporaries believed. He was a historian too radical to hold a teaching chair but too popular with his readership to be ignored, and a more and more vociferous Cassandra in an age of increasing accommodation to and optimism about Bismarckian power. Gervinus's life was a passion in the service of democratic liberalism; as a result, he suffered during his life, and his reputation has suffered ever …
