Item description from seller

394 p. Einband etwas berieben, insgesamt vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand. - Introduction: For nearly fifty years Joseph J. Schwab worked in the University of Chicago and lived in Hyde Park, the universitys community. Entering the university at fifteen, he graduated in 1930 with a baccalaureate in English literature and in physics. In the fall of 1931 he began graduate work in biology, and he received his doctorate in genetics in 1939. He left Hyde Park for a year in 1937 to accept a fellowship in science education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where he explored the developing field of psychometrics and assisted in curriculum development while completing his doctoral research. In 1938 he returned to Chicago as an instructor and examiner in biology in the universitys undergraduate college. He retired from the university in 1974 as professor of education and as William Rainey Harper Professor of Natural Sciences in the College. Subsequently he became a fellow at the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, California, an independent institute founded by Robert Maynard Hutchins, the president of the University of Chicago from 1929 to 1951. Lengthy involvement in any institution with a strong sense of community profoundly colors the character of a mans work and actions. For Schwab, the University of Chicago was such a community. Arriving in Chicago as a youth from Columbus, Mississippi, he immediately made a commitment to the place and its people. Thirteen years later he became a faculty member in an institution which, because of the sweeping curriculum changes taking place within it, justified commitment. The reforming era in the College, which had begun in the thirties, had run its course by the early fifties, but for Schwab the collegiality, the forms of thought, and the practices of that period stayed with him, so much so that all of his subsequent writing and much of his later professional activity can be seen as successive efforts to explore the implications of his years in the College in broader and more varied contexts.
