Abstract
University reform is always a challenging undertaking. It is hoped that through this anecdotal adventure, the reader will take away some useful pointers to be used when faced with the need to revitalize a school steeped in a too familiar culture. This paper traces the history of the City College of New York (CCNY), the founding of the School of Education within the college and the evolution of the School of Education into its current form.
