| biography:
| Educational reformer, born in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. After a 19-year career in secondary school teaching, he graduated in psychology at Harvard (1906). His Carnegie Foundation report on medical education in the USA and Canada (1910), exposed the abuses of a profit-driven system lacking standards for students, curricula, or facilities, and sparked a revolution in American medical education. He also campaigned for improvements to secondary education, and championed the German University model of intellectualism and research against the American vocationalism. He was the founder and first director (1930–9) of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. |
