In 1905, as the University of Virginia inaugurated him as its first
president, the revered southern educator Edwin Anderson Alderman
proposed an education school, despite the thriving existence of
normal teachers' colleges, primarily female, throughout the state.
John D. Rockefeller Sr. donated $100,000 in support, and the Curry
Memorial School of Education was born. In the century since, the
Curry School of Education has grown and solidified, struggled and
diversified, and raised its expectations and its visibility. It has
steered a dedicated course through the challenges of depression,
war, student disaffection, and faculty debate by holding true to
the visions of Jefferson and Alderman. Always attuned to and often
leading the discussion about current educational theories, Curry
School faculty, students, and graduates represent the evolution of
American education during the twentieth century and into the
twenty-first. From its original founding in 1905 to the visions it
is now creating for the teachers and children of tomorrow, the
Curry School of Education has a distinguished and significant
history. In this centennial volume, Eleanor Vernon Wilson
chronicles the decisions, responses, programs, initiatives, and
accomplishments that together form the panoramic history of the
Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.
