<p>Kate L. Turabian designed this manual as a guide to suitable style in the<br />
presentation of term papers, theses, and dissertations in both scientific<br />
and nonscientific fields. The genesis of the manual can be traced to a<br />
sentence in the June 1929 edition of the Handbook of the Graduate<br />
Schools of the University of Chicago, which reads: "Samples of paper<br />
and directions concerning the form of the dissertation may be obtained at<br />
the Dissertation Desk, in Harper Library." When in 1931 the work of<br />
the Dissertation Desk was transferred to a dissertation secretary under the<br />
purview of the dean of students, the secretary inherited a one-page set of<br />
mimeographed instructions, the first paragraph stating, "In form, the dis-<br />
sertation should follow the style of the University of Chicago Press as<br />
exhibited in its publications and set forth in A Manual of Style." Students<br />
and their typists, therefore, were directed to the Press manual for detailed<br />
information needed to bring papers into conformity with accepted thesis<br />
style. But this style manual, designed as a guide for typographers, edi-<br />
tors, and others dealing with the printed word, required some interpreta-<br />
tion if it was to serve as a guide to producing a typescript conforming to<br />
its standards. To supplement the Press manual, the dissertation secretary<br />
furnished students with a two-page set of mimeographed instructions on<br />
such matters as spacing, indention, margins, and underlining. With the<br />
flattening of student pocketbooks in the Depression of 1930-35, the need<br />
arose to expand those instructions into a small booklet incorporating the<br />
materials in A Manual of Style that were relevant to the preparation of a<br />
typewritten dissertation. The title of the booklet, published in 1937, was<br />
essentially the same as the one it bears today. Thus from the beginning<br />
the thesis manual has recommended in general the style of the University<br />
of Chicago Press as shown in its publications both books and journals--<br />
and as explained in its Manual of Style.<br />
The thirteenth edition of the Press manual, The Chicago Manual of Style,<br />
published in 1982, gave impetus for a fifth edition of the thesis<br />
manual. The thesis manual has always followed the Press manual s<br />
guidelines for such matters as spelling, punctuation, and distinctive treat-<br />
