Burke describes how the supporters of the Toronto ideal became involved in an ongoing struggle to defend their authority against the challenges presented by the female-dominated profession of social work. Burke reveals that, although women far outnumbered men on the staff of University Settlement and in the enrolment of the Department of Social Service by the 1920s, their lack of access to power in the university meant that their participation in social service was devalued by the rest of the academic community.
Burke's study uncovers the process by which the ethical beliefs of British idealism became meaningful for a large number of students, faculty, and alumni, and how, once popularized, they became incorporated into the institutional structure of the university.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
