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:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
