   Culture of professionalism in the mid-1800s. A little earlier than the time frame I am looking at, but helpful in generalizing info about middle class attitudes towards professionals. Focused on universities for the second half of the book- less helpful but interesting. Who knew early Harvard and Yale students used to riot, break windows and set fire to things to protest exams?

   I think the Rosenbergs assigned this book in one of their classes. It opened up my eyes to the world of professionals, as well as having a profound effect on my thinking about professionals and experts in general.
