Death of Alexander Meiklejohn ends liberal education era
The death of philosopher Alexander Meiklejohn in Berkeley at age 92 ends a landmark career as Amherst College president and leading liberal educator. He faced controversy over curricular reform, later shaping experimental education at Wisconsin with Dr. Glenn Frank and the Amherst plan that stirred strong reactions. Meiklejohn’s legacy spans social sciences emphasis, student boards, and self governed classrooms, with his customs and ideas echoed in later educational reforms. International and national recognition followed, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963. Burial will be Lawn Croft Cemetery Linwood after services at Robert Moreland Funeral Home.
