In Pursuit of the Colon: A Century of Scholarly Progress: 1880-1980.
Dillon, J. T.
Journal of Higher Education, v53 n1 p93-99 Jan-Feb 1982

Analysis of 1,150 titles in education, psychology, and literary criticism reveals use of the colon in the majority of contemporary titles across disciplines, thereby demonstrating the progressive complexity of scholarship.
