"In his diary, Dewey gave no indication he ever questioned or disagreed with their advice. As a result, the hierarchical arrangement Dewey cemented into the DDC had the effect of framing and solidifying a worldview and knowledge structure taught on the Amherst College campus between 1870 and 1875. By the end of November Dewey had completed his scheme and was ready to have it printed."
