Biographical History

Joseph W. Jacques, PhD in Adult Education, received his doctorate from Syracuse University and later was on the faculty at Montclair State College.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

When Joseph Jacques earned his PhD in Adult Education at Syracuse University, he based his doctoral dissertation upon 21 extended taped interviews he conducted with 11 established leaders in the field of Adult Education in the United States. Those interviewed were Mary Armstrong, R.J. Blakely, Leland P. Bradford, Mary Louise Collings, Paul L. Essert, Wilbur C. Hallenbeck, Sam Hand, Andrew Hendrickson, Eugene I. Johnson, Howard Y. McClusky, and Ralph B. Spence.

Following a format of structured questions, but allowing for free-wheeling discussion, Jacques' tapes probe the leaders' formative lives and educational experiences; their philosophies of living and of education; and their beliefs and opinions concerning current trends and the status of adult education in the United States. These 21 reels of recordings were made between March and May of 1972, and include much material not contained within Jacques' formal dissertation.

Please note that the collection does NOT include transcripts of the interviews.
