The Caecal Folds and Fossae and the Topographical Anatomy of the Vermiform Appendix
by Richard James Arthur Berry
1897
In the afermath of World War II was born a generation that can be called the Children of Hope. They were to be the future of the United States. Yet, when they came of age, when it was time for them to accept the adulthood they were groomed to embrace, they found there was one last set of hurdles they were expected to leap without question: do was we do, do as we say, learn to be a man in the way we became men. Days of Decision follows one young man through the heart of The Sixties, a time when to be male was to be fodder for the war machine. A time when youth was ready to tackle the problems left unresolved by their parents. A time when the most-educated, the most-idealistic, the most-energetic generation ever was told: Do it our way or we will kill our Children of Hope. Days of Decision, an intricate and intimate novel about The Sixties, when ever the simplest of choices — college, career, marriage — became matters of life and death.
"Telling as much a social, educational, and cultural story as institutional history, this detailed account chronicles the ideological patterns, internal and countrywide conflicts, and student experiences at the University of Melbourne from 1850 to 1939. The daily life of staff, professors, and students are recounted during times of turmoil and peace in Australia, including the depression of the 1890s and World War I. The account offers a window into the pedagogical conflicts and research achievements of one of Australia's oldest continuing educational institutions."
