Abstract:


This paper is the first in a series.  The series will examine the origins of this educational genre: academia involving adults as students.  By examining its definitive history and philosophy, its early changes, evolution, and transitional periods, we can better understand the social incubus that has led to its current role.   The area of investigation will be limited to parts of Europe and the United States, since this where, a century later, the emergence of Adult Education as a discipline took place.
