{7:45:210:I:336,375:2007,2136}HENDRICKSON, ANDREW, 1899- PAPERS, 1933-1971 15 boxes (7.5 linear feet) Background Sketch Born November 17, 1899, in Pedrickstown, New Jersey, Andrew Hendrickson earned an A.B. in English from Bucknell University in 1925, an M.A. in English from Columbia University in 1935, and the Ph.D. in adult education from Columbia in 1943. He has served as head of the English Department in the Cliffside Park, New Jersey, High School. He has also been a teacher of social studies in the Westfield, New Jersey, High School and the New York City Regents Evening High School. Hendrickson has served as Assistant and Associate in adult education as well as Director of Cooperative Education and Assistant Dean at Cleveland College of Western Reserve University. In 1947 Hendrickson went to Ohio State University as professor of Education. In 1957 he was appointed director of the Center for Adult Education at that University. Retiring from Ohio State in 1967, Dr. Hendrickson is now director of the Institute of Senior Adults and professor of adult education in the Department of Adult Education at Florida State University. Andrew Hendrickson is a member and past vice president of the National Education Association. He has served on the executive committee and as a member of the Delegate Assembly of the Adult Education Association. A past secretary-treasurer of the Ohio Association for Adult Education, Dr. Hendrickson was editor of the journal of that organization, The Ohio Adult Observer, from 1948 to 1960. He was also one of the founders and the first president of the Adult Education Council of Greater Columbus, Ohio.

{7:45:211:I:186,378:2091,2583} Description The Andrew Hendrickson Papers arose primarily from Hendrickson's work at Ohio State University. All of the material came from the office of the professor of adult education at Ohio State. This material is almost exclusively Hendrickson's, but most of the material dated before 1947 resulted from the work of Hendrickson's predecessor, Herschel W. Nisonger. There is also correspondence from 1967 generated by William D. Dowling, Hendrickson's successor. The collection consists of correspondence, printed material including reproduced material and published material, and a few photographs. The inclusive dates of the collection are 1933-1971 but the bulk of the papers are dated between 1948 and 1967. The material is divided into three categories: correspondence, writings, and miscellaneous material. Correspondence covers the period 1937-1967, with emphasis on 1948-1967, and includes both incoming and outgoing letters, telegrams, and memoranda. The material is arranged chronologically with multiple items having the same arranged alphabetically by the correspondents' names. Undated material is placed at the end of the section. Significant correspondents (those for whom there are at least twenty pieces in the collection) and the inclusive dates of their letters follow: Dowling, William D., 1967 Holden, John Bernard, 1943-1964 Houle, Cyril Orvin, 1958-1966 Jensen, Glenn S., 1959-1967 Kempfer, Homer Hadley, 1947-1966 Knowles, Malcolm S., 1951-1966 Kreitlow, Burton, 1950-1967 Long, Fern, 1948-1967 Luke, Robert A., 1946-1966 Nisonger, Herschel W., 1937-1962 Rochte, Newton C., 1949-1963 Verner, Coolie, 1953-1965 In no case are there more than fifty pieces for any individual. The inclusive dates of the writings are 1933-1969. Included in this category are articles and addresses, reports and proposals, copies of The Ohio Adult Observer, and student papers from Hendrickson's classes. There are eleven articles and addresses, arranged alphabetically by title. Reports and proposals include documents prepared by Hendrickson or by committees of which Hendrickson was a member. These are arranged chronologically with undated pieces placed at the end of the section. Since Hendrickson was an editor of The Ohio Adult

{7:45:212:I:270,441:1998,1761} Observer, there is a fairly complete run of ths journal between the dates 1933 and 1966. Student papers are arranged chronologically. Miscellaneous material, 1945-1967, includes biographical information on Hendrickson and Nisonger; meeting papers, including working papers, minutes and proceedings; memorabilia, including membership lists and rosters, photographs, programs, brochures, newspaper clippings, and a script; and unidentified pieces. Minutes include reports of only those meetings which Hendrickson attended and are arranged chronologically. Transcripts of meetings of the Commission of Professors of Adult Education for 1957 to 1959 are arranged chronologically in the section of proceedings. The CPAE, a branch of the Adult Education Assocation of the United States of America, was to develop a philosophy of adult education. Membership lists and rosters name members of organizations and rosters of conference and meeting participants. These lists are arranged chronologically, with undated material at the end of the section. The few photographs are mostly of meetings; they are undated and unidentified. The section of programs includes printed programs of meetings and conferences in which Hendrickson participated. The programs are arranged chronologically, and undated material is placed at the end of the section. The brochure relates to the program and services of the Bureau of Special and Adult Education at Ohio State University. The newspaper clippings describe the retirement of Herschel W. Nisonger. The script is of a skit performed at anappreciation banquet for Nisonger upon his retirement. Unidentified material is arranged chronologically. Gift of Andrew Hendrickson, 1969 and 1971
