5. •William Chandler
Bagley, (born March 15,
1874, Detroit — died July 1,
1946, New York City),
American educator, author,
and editor who, as a leading
“Essentialist,” opposed many
of the practices of progressive
education.

6. • Bagley received his undergraduate
degree In 1895 from the Agricultural
College of the State of Michigan (East
Lansing; now Michigan State
University). After taking graduate
courses at the University of Chicago
and the University of
Wisconsin (Madison), he earned a
doctorate in psychology and
education from Cornell University,
Ithaca, N.Y., in 1900.

7. • Bagley’s extensive practical
experience in education included
teaching in a one-teacher school
in rural Michigan, administering
public schools in several cities,
and serving as professor of
education at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(1908–17) and Columbia
University (1917–40).

8. Bagley’s lifelong professional
commitment was to the improvement of
public education, largely through
improved teacher training. He became
a leading spokesman of the
“Essentialists” — a group of
professional educators who advocated
European-style emphasis on a
rigorous curriculum of traditional
subjects, in opposition to the approach
of many progressive-education circles.
