History
Boston University School of Education was founded in 1918. Dr. Arthur H. Wilde, the first dean of the School, wrote, "Our policy has been to keep in as vital touch with the everyday work of the schools as we could—to know the needs of the teachers and of the school officers and to give immediate satisfaction to those needs, yet with a view to the broader education of these teachers and officers."
SED houses the oldest continuously published journal in the field of education in the country, the Journal of Education. The Journal of Education was formed in 1875 by the union of the Maine Journal of Education, the Massachusetts Teacher, the Rhode Island Schoolmaster, the Connecticut School Journal, and the College Courant. Originally called the New England Journal of Education and later renamed the Journal of Education, in 1952 the journal was sold to the Boston University School of Education. In 1976 the School of Education celebrated the 100th-year publication with a special issue of the Journal, including excerpts from the first issue. During its long history, the journal has published the work of Michael Apple, Jean Anyon, Burton Blatt, Carol Chomsky, Linda Darling-Hammond, Eleanor Duckworth, Donald Durrell, Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux, Maxine Greene, Jonathan Kozol, Alfie Kohn, Gloria Ladson-Billings, Robert Pinsky, Lee Shulman, and Elie Wiesel. In 2009, the Journal of Education became a peer-reviewed publication.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
