I personally learned to know Ralph Tyler rather late in his career
when, in the 1960s, I spent a year as a Fellow at the Center for
Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. His term of
office as Director of the Center was then approaching its end. This
would seem to disqualify me thoroughly from preparing a Foreword to
this "Classic Works. " Many of his colleagues and, not least, of
his students at his dear Alma Mater, the University of Chicago, are
certainly better prepared than I to put his role in American
education in proper perspective. The reason for inviting me is, I
assume, to bring out the influence that Tyler has had on the
international educational scene. I am writing this Foreword on a
personal note. Ralph Tyler's accomplishments in his roles as a
scholar, policy maker, educational leader, and statesman have been
amply put on record in this book, not least in the editors'
Preface. My reflections are those of an observer from abroad but
who, over the last 25 years, has been close enough to overcome the
aloofness of the foreigner. Tyler has over many years been
criss-crossing the North American con tinent generously giving
advice to agencies at the federal, state, and local levels,
lecturing, and serving on many committees and task forces that have
been instrumental in shaping American education."
