Service and the Dynamics of Developing Fields.
Slaughter, Sheila; Silva, Edward T.
Journal of Higher Education, v54 n5 p481-99 Sep-Oct 1983

An interpretation of how fields become disciplines is offered and some parallels between the social sciences at the turn of the century and higher education today are explored. (MLW)
