8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
"New Movements in Education" is the subject which Mr. Arthur E. Morgan, president of Antioch College in Ohio, has selected for his address in the Faculty Room of the Union at 8 o'clock this evening. All Union members and students in the Graduate School of Education may hear Mr. Morgan speak, inasmuch as the meeting is being given under the auspices of both Union and the Graduate School of Education. Dean Holmes of the School of Education will introduce Mr. Morgan.
Mr. Morgan, who was a reclamation engineer working in flooded areas before his assuming the presidency of Antioch College, has been speaking at several places in Boston during the past few days. From 1902 to 1907 he supervised the United States government drainage investigations.
He did not become interested in education until he found it necessary to provide for the education of the children of the laborers on his reclamation projects. After the Dayton, Ohio, flood, he founded the Moraine Park School in that city, an institution which instructed children by advanced methods. The trustees of Antioch College, a liberal arts institution, several years ago called Mr. Morgan to the presidency in order to straighten out the financial difficulties of the college.
There, he installed a new system of education, combining study and vocational work in such a way that the A.B. degree is taken only after six years. This evening he will explain the Antioch system.
