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:
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
