Harry Pratt Judson, professor of history and lecturer on pedagogics, expanded
upon Maria Sanford’s work in pedagogy and became the University’s first faculty
member in education. (Judson had previously advised Charles Burke Elliott, the
University’s first recipient of a Ph.D.) As a former school principal in Troy,
NY, he was well-suited to the work. He became a strong advocate of extension
education for working people and emphasized the practical aspects of pedagogy.
He believed, according to one contemporary, that “the purpose of the school is
to prepare students for life.” Judson later spent sixteen years as the president
of the University of Chicago.
