| Abstract | The concept of teamwork between government, education, and social welfare based on the model of Imperial Germany was articulated by Charles McCarthy and Frederic Howe, who taught at the University of Wisconsin. They expounded the view that the borders of the university were the borders of the state, that the executive and legislative branches of government in reality enjoyed a third level, that of the University, and that their symbiosis constituted the best hope for the ideal society. This concept was envisioned as the Wisconsin Idea and resulted in the Progressive Era, championed by La Follette and Theodore Roosevelt at first, and by Franklin D. Roosevelt later. |
