Final Reckonings -- Index Halfway up Parnassus is a personal account of the University of Toronto with particular emphasis on the period when Dr. Bissell was its president, from 1958 to 1971. The first half of that period was the flowering of the old, self-confident university, with its established patterns of government, and its untroubled constituents. The second half saw the slow, powerful emergence of a new university, uncertain of itself and its role, seeking to find a form for democratic aspirations—not, however, without some dramatic confrontations with left-wing students. Nowhere in Canada was the process more sharply defined than at the University of Toronto. This book records that process from the point of view of a major participant. It is also intended as a series of portraits of major academic figures and as an intimate recollection of a society that is passing away.It is not a philosophical book about education, but a human document—an attempt to render the tone of academic society, and in this account Dr. Bissell has combined, to great effect, autobiography, descriptive narration, and historical analysis. The book will be of interest to Canadians concerned about our intellectual and cultural life, and to academic societies everywhere.EDUCATION / HistorybisacshElectronic books.EDUCATION / History.378.713/541Bissell Claude Thomas1916-2000,682635MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460308603321Halfway up Parnassus2088733UNINA04007 am 22006013u 450 99631844940331620231110213227.01-5015-1710-41-5015-1694-910.1515/9781501517105(CKB)4100000009940211(OAPEN)1006912(DE-B1597)497968(OCoLC)1129164626(DE-B1597)9781501516948(MiAaPQ)EBC6637466(Au-PeEL)EBL6637466(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/43146(EXLCZ)99410000000994021120200406h20192020 fg enguuuuu---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierChinese Annals in the Western Observatory An Outline of Western Studies of Chinese Unearthed Documents /Edward ShaughnessyDe Gruyter2020Berlin ;Boston : De Gruyter Mouton, [2019]©20201 online resource (485) Library of Sinology ;41-5015-1693-0 Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- LIST OF FIGURES -- PREFACE TO THE CHINESE EDITION -- PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION -- CONVENTIONS -- INTRODUCTION -- 1.

While these discoveries have necessarily taken place in China, Western scholars have also contributed to the study of these documents throughout this entire period. This book provides a comprehensive survey of the contributions of these Western scholars to the field of Chinese paleography, and especially to study of oracle-bone inscriptions, bronze and stone inscriptions, and manuscripts written on bamboo and silk. Each of these topics is provided with a comprehensive narrative history of studies by Western scholars, as well as an exhaustive bibliography and biographies of important scholars in the field. It is also supplied with a list of Chinese translations of these studies, as well as a complete index of authors and their works. Whether the reader is interested in the history of ancient China, ancient Chinese paleographic documents, or just in the history of the study of China as it has developed in the West, this book provides one of the most complete accounts available to date.
