Gross Elevated to Associate Professor

Francis Keppel, dean of the Graduate School of Education, announced yesterday that Neal Gross has been elevated to the rank of associate professor of Education. Since 1951 Gross has been Lecturer on Education and Sociology. A sociologist, he has studied problems related to education and technological diffusion.

Gross' studies of community-school relations in New England have raised considerable interest. When at Iowa State College, he made studies of farm areas and of the farmer's acceptance of new technological developments, such as hybrid corn.
