note = "Funding Information: The connection between discipline and department in education is more liquescent than in many other areas. During my tenure at the University of Illinois, the unit to which I belonged, originally labeled the social foundations faculty, went through at least four significant changes. Shortly before I joined the college, the faculty was combined into a department called the History and Philosophy of Education, and, as might be expected, it consisted of historians and philosophers. Indeed, the decision to hire someone like myself, with a graduate degree in philosophy and not education, was no doubt influenced by external pressures such as the Cold War and the belief that scholars trained in a discipline would select and train students better able to compete in the so-called arms race. I was grateful for the support I received from the National Defense Education Act for my graduate study, although I was mystified as to how its authors thought I could aid national defense.",
