We are particularly pleased to bring you this ``backgrounder`` on American education-which, incidentally, we plan to follow up with detailed information about higher education in the United States, together with a list of institutions that courses in English as a second or foreign language. Coming to you as a result of many requests from readers for material on this subject, this special feature on education is from the pen of one of America`s most distinguished historians. Born in Pittsburgh in 1902, Henry Steele Commager attended the University of Chicago for both his undergraduate and graduate studies, receiving his doctoral degree in 1928. He began a lifelong teaching career at New York University in 1926. In 1938 he assumed a professorship at Columbia University, and since 1956 he has been professor of history at Amherst College. Dr. Commager has held visiting professorships at many universities at home and abroad-the latter including Oxford, Cambridge, Uppsala, Copenhagen, and Santiago. He has written many books, among which are The American Mind, Majority Rule and Minority Rights, and The Search for a Usable Past. Joint author with Samuel Eliot Morison of the widely used textbook The Growth of the American republic, Dr. Commager also served as editor of the important Documents of American History. His comments on and analyses of public issues, past and present, appear regularly in learned journals and other periodicals. |
