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
Titular colonicity (presence of colon in title) is shown to index the progress of scholarship over a century. 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.
