教师和抗议者:哈佛大学学生日记斯蒂芬皮博迪,1767年至1768年

Cover image, Pedagogues and Protesters

Edited by Conrad Edick Wright

On April 4, 1768, about one hundred angry Harvard College undergraduates, well over half the student body, left school and went home, in protest against new rules about class preparation. 他们的行动构成了美国殖民地大学中规模最大的学生罢课. 许多同时代的人认为这个原因微不足道,学生们的决定令人费解, 但在本科生们自己看来,这是数月来与教员关系紧张的高潮.
Pedagogues and Protesters 斯蒂芬·皮博迪在日记中记录了一年(1767年5月至1768年5月), a member of the class of 1769. The best surviving account of colonial college life, Peabody’s journal documents relationships among students, faculty members, and administrators, 以及作者与马萨诸塞州社会其他阶层的关系. To a full transcription of the entries, 康拉德·埃迪克·赖特(Conrad Edick Wright)添加了详细的注释和介绍,重点介绍了该杂志对美国最古老大学日常生活的揭示.

Outside of the courtroom, Paine obsessed over stabilizing the economy, 这本书展示了他对价格控制和假冒等看似平凡的话题的激烈观点. 当潘恩专注于稳定国家时,他常常忽略了他的家庭生活. 他与妻子的通信表明,面对战时物资短缺和独自抚养一群孩子的挑战,妻子感到不满.
