The slow response of output to increases in admissions and enrolments, and the effect on output of lengthening courses in the early sixties, is clearly visible in...

Like historians in other specialties we are also discovering that student and administrator evaluation of our teaching, particularly at the lower division survey level, is growing more critical.

Ideas about infant capabilities and toilet training practice have changed in the United States following cultural trends and the advice of child care experts. Anthropologists have shown that a society's specific infant training practices are adaptive to survival and cultural values.

The Digo...
