Letter from William Clark Trow to Arnold O. Beckman
- 1956-Dec-04
This is one of many letters written to Arnold Beckman in response to his U.S. News & World Report article on the topic of education. William Trow, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Michigan, suggests that criticism of progressive education is often vague and ill-informed, and that the socialism Beckman decries is also responsible for the Soviet science he praises.
