Scope and content

William Fowler was educated in the United States, attending Dartmouth College for his undergraduate degree (BA, 1946), and Harvard University for his Master of Arts Degree (1952) and the University of Chicago’s Committee on Human Development department for his doctoral degree (Ph.D. 1959). He also continued his education as it related to his licensing as a professional psychologist in the United States.

Files in this series contain versions of his curriculum vitae, certificates relating to professional accreditation and licensing in various states, honours from the American Psychological Association, among others. Files documenting his university education are entirely concerned with this graduate education at Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Among the files are those containing class notes and papers while studying at Harvard, class notes and papers for courses in Education with Dr. Helen Koch at University of Chicago, as well as those relating to his doctoral thesis on “ Teaching a two-year-old to read: an experiment in early childhood learning” (June 1959). There is one file relating to his research fellowship at the University of California where he undertook “Reading and general intellectual training and their relationship to psycho-social development in some normal 3-year-old children of average IQ.” (1958-1961)
