1. Schaefer, Robert J., “Regarding the Series,” Columbia University. Teachers College. Contributions to Education (New York: AMS Press, 1971). This AMS bibliographical brochure announcement of the reprinting of the series is an invaluable guide (listing of titles in numerical order; alphabetical listing of titles by authors), incomparably more useful than the series list in Baer, Eleanora A., Titles in Series (1953–60). Numbers 226 and 972 of the series were never published. A companion guide to dissertations completed at New York University's School of Education is Dossick, Jesse J., Doctoral Research at the School of Education, New York University, 1890–1970 (New York: New York University Press, 1972).

12. Generally, the TC Contributions to Education lie outside the contexts of school reform so admirably delineated by Cohen, Sol, Progressive and Urban School Reform: The Public Education Association of New York City, 1895–1954 (New York: Bureau of Publications, Teachers College, Columbia University, 1964). Cohen's volume (itself, deriving from a TC doctoral dissertation) suggests the new range of interests tardily defined at TC in the late 1950s and 1960s.Google Scholar
