Lola Austin Case earned a PhD in Education from Indiana University in 1963, with the dissertation 鈥淧ractices of reporting research recommended by colleges and universities.鈥� Timothy Long wrote:

For anyone who has written or directed a dissertation, Lola鈥檚 is an entertaining Zeitdokument. She collected from all of the PhD granting institutions of the United States their style sheets for the preparation of dissertations and compared them. This may strike one as the embodiment of tediousness, but there was clairvoyance to it. . . . Within three years, the National Defense and Education Act expanded hugely the number of dissertation writers beyond even what Lola was imagining.
