Professor of Philosophy and Pedagogy in the University of Colorado Late special commissioner of the University of the State of New York to visit European schools and report on their methods In July 1893, on recommendation of some of the leading members of convocation, the regents appointed Prin. James E. Russell, then of New York but now professor of pedagogy in the University of Colorado, a special commissioner to visit European educational institutions and report on whatever he might find of most importance to educational institutions in New York. He had no instruction as to the topic but was left to select it. after making his investigation. The subject which he found most useful is that great movement known as university extension, which has clearly taken a prominent place in modern education. His report treats this important matter so fairly, broadly and ably that it is deemed important to print it for the use of those in the state of New York who in recent years have become deeply interested in extension work. In this form it will be a most convenient manual for those who wish to understand clearly this modern movement. MELVIL DEWEY, Secretary |
