Biographical/Historical Sketch
The Stanford Committee of Educational Inquiry was part of a four-year project involving

Teaching, to enlist faculty aid in the formulation of educational policies. The members
of the Stanford committee were Graham P. Du Shane, George S. Parks, William C. Bark, and
Aurelio M. Espinosa, Jr.
Records include correspondence, minutes, reports, newsletters, and other materials,
1952-1957. Nationally, the committees considered three basic topics: aims of liberal
arts education, curriculum, and methods of instruction. The Stanford committee addressed
