1 On the pattern of town and church relations, he uses David B. Potts, “American Colleges in the Nineteenth Century: From Localism to Denominationalism,” History of Education Quarterly 11 (Winter 1971): 363-80. On the idea of community he uses Wilson Smith, “Apologia pro Alma Matre: The College as Community in Ante-Bellum America,” in The Hofstadter Aegis: A Memorial, ed. Stanley Elkins and Eric McKitrick (New York, 1974). On other topics he also cites analyses such as those of David Allmendinger, Jr., and James McLachlan, but important works published in the last decade such as those of Colin Burke, James Findlay, and Marilyn Tobias have not been incorporated into revisions made since completion of his dissertation in 1978.Google Scholar
