Literature on Education Abroad from the 1800's

Many IHEC Blog readers are aware of my interest in the history of international education in the United States.  My historical interests date back to colonial times but the late 1800's, early 1900's, the inter-war period (1918-1939), post-World War II through the 1960's and then the 1970's-1980's.  While fluid, these are the various time periods I tend to focus my research on.


Some time ago I posted a link to a short piece of literature in Google Books from 1896 that was making an argument for American students to study in France versus Germany (link below) to Twitter and IHEC Blog's Facebook page and several people enjoyed the posts so I am sharing links below to two historical piece of literature focusing on education abroad:


Should American Youth Be Educated Abroad? In “Education Abroad, And Other Papers” by Birdsey Grant Northrop, LL.D., Secretary of Connecticut Board of Education. New York and Chicago: A.S. Barnes & Co. (1873) at http://bit.ly/fb0kE6 [scroll down a little] or http://bit.ly/ugAqvy
