I believe (not necessarily reliably) that law, medicine, and divinity were organized in separate schools, or at least separate faculties, with other students studying the traditional seven liberal arts organized into the quadrivium and the trivium. But even if this is the case I find it hard to believe that there was a lot of drift and bending about the way the traditional disciplines were defined over time. Then again, I remember being really surprised years ago when I read that in its early days astronomical education at Harvard was pre-Copernican. Hard to grasp the lags in historical developments, though I guess it shouldn't be given the pre-Darwinian outlook in many contemporary school boards. I have a hunch that Perry Miller's The New England Mind would have info on Harvard, though its been decades since I last read it. He places a great deal of emphasis on the role of the 15th century anti-scholastic classifier Petrus Ramus on the reorganization of knowledge and the curriculum. (For all its age and what may have been its overly intellectualized view of intellectual history, Miller suspect still well worth the read, by the way. . . If I wasn't really busy -- though obviously avoiding what I really should be writing -- right now just writing this would tempt to pull it off the shelf for a bit.) Have a feeling that googling something like 17th century curricula might get you more reliable info than you are getting here, a lot of which seems to involve guesses and hunches. Me included in that. j On 11/13/10 10:28 AM, Henry M.
