Church and State in England in the Eighteenth Century By Norman Sykes. Cambridge: at the University Press; New York: The Macmillan Co., 1934. xi, 455 pages. $7.00.

The decades clustering about the year 1700 were unusually important in reference to the subsequent ecclesiastical history of New York. The previous history of the Church in that province, except during the political episode of the Leisler troubles, had been comparatively tranquil; but in the decades alluded to, new elements were introduced and complications ensued, which modified all former conditions, and caused not a little friction in ecclesiastical affairs down to the Revolution. Nevertheless, new phases of Christian activity were also thereby developed, which became very influential; and the discussions which ensued clarified the atmosphere in reference to the proper relations of Church and State and prepared the way for their separation. In order to get a proper background for the consideration of the period alluded to, permit a brief reference to some antecedent conditions.

Private And Public

Questions of who will govern and how authority will be exercised pervade the history of American higher education. Such questions were particularly pressing before there was a clear distinction between public and private colleges. In this article,Jurgen Herbst traces the evolution of college governance from the early eighteenth century, when church and state exercised joint control, to the mid-eighteenth century,when religious, secular, and political tensions strained the effectiveness of that model. In the face of increasing ethnic and religious diversity in the colonies and amidst the breakdown of the alliance between ecclesiastical and secular interests, a more pluralistic model of college governance began to emerge. Professor Herbst examines the turmoil in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, which, by the end of the eighteenth century, culminated in a new distinction between private and public higher education.
