Background

Antioch College is the result of American educator Horace Mann's dream to establish a college comparable to Harvard but with some notable differences. Antioch College was a private independent Liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States, and was the founder and flagship This article is about an early leader in education for the private school located in New York City see Horace Mann School. This college was to be completely non-sectarian and co-educational, and with a curriculum that would not only include the traditional treatment of the classics, but would emphasize science and the scientific method, history and modern literature. Mixed-sex education, (or just Mixed education) also known as Coeducation, is the integrated education to males and females at the same school facilities Students would not compete for grades, but would be encouraged to pursue issues of interest to them, read what they consider worthwhile, and present papers on topics of their own choosing. Founded in 1852 as Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Horace Mann became the first president in 1853. [2]

From its inception, racial and sexual equality, independent study and independent thinking were integral parts of Antioch College. Egalitarianism (derived from the French word égal, meaning equal) is a political doctrine that holds that all people should be treated as equals and have Six students were accepted for the first quarter: four men and two women who came to share the same college classrooms for the first time in the U. S. The notion of sexual equality extended also to the faculty. Antioch was the first U. S. college to designate a woman as full professor, and the original faculty included seven men and two women. Then, in 1863, the college instituted the policy that no applicant was to be rejected on the basis of race.

Antioch College has always attracted faculty who were concerned with innovations in education. In the early 1850s, Rebecca Pennell offered a course on teaching methods which was the first of its kind, while John Burns Weston, class of 1857, established a long-standing precedent by being both student and faculty simultaneously. Rebecca Mann Pennell, later Rebecca Mann Dean (1821-1890 was an American educator niece of prominent educator Horace Mann, and the first woman to be appointed He taught Greek language and literature for 20 years and remained a lifelong student.

While Antioch College has never diverged from the philosophy of Horace Mann, the present form of an Antioch education traces its roots to the election of Arthur Morgan as President of the college in 1920. This article is about an early leader in education for the private school located in New York City see Horace Mann School. Arthur Ernest Morgan (1878&ndash1975 U S administrator educator and engineer Arthur Morgan (Queensland politician (1856&ndash1916 Premier Morgan, like Mann, believed in the development of the individual as a whole. Having seen the difficulty encountered by ivory-tower academicians attempting to participate in the business world, he resolved to change the cloistered educational experience by providing students with work experience in their field. This was the beginning of Antioch's unique program of work and study.

Morgan initiated the practice of student government. A students' union, student government, student senate, students' association, or guild of students is a Student Organization He also changed the nature of the admissions procedure. University admission or college admissions is the process through which students enter Tertiary education at universities and Colleges Systems Rather than relying on entrance examinations, Morgan opted for more personal information on prospective students. In addition, senior exams were graded "honors" or "pass" and students who failed could retake the exam. Morgan remained at Antioch until 1933, when President Roosevelt requested that he assume directorship of the Tennessee Valley Authority Project. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA is a federally owned Corporation in the United States created by congressional charter in May 1933 to provide
