Editor's Corner 

 

'John Dewey was on our campus in the '30s and we had a national colloquy here in '97 re-visiting his legacy and looking at "Education for the 21st Century."  Some of the quotes we used from Dewey at the 1931 Rollins Curriculum Conference
were:
"The changes in ...American life....in the last generation....have outstripped the educational principles. philosophy, and practices of the college."
"I do not think that any thorough-going modification of college curriculum would be possible without a modification of the methods of instruction." '

 

The above excerpt is from a list-serve posting by Sandra Chadwick.

 

 

Cheers,
