About the authors: Franklin and Betty J. Parker met in Sept. 1946 at, and graduated from, Berea College, a work-study college near Lexington, KY (Frank: B.A. degree in 1949, English; Betty: B.A. degree in History, 1950). We were married June 12, 1950. Frank completed his M.S. in L.S. degree at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Graduate Library School (Aug. 1950). We then taught at Methodist-founded residential Ferrum Junior College, 35 miles south of Roanoke, VA., Sept. 1950-June 1952.
Continuing graduate study, we attended George Peabody College for Teachers adjoining Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN (renamed July 1, 1979, Peabody College of Vanderbilt University), summers of 1951 and 1952, remaining four years, working at part-time jobs while taking Peabody and Vanderbilt graduate classes. In August 1956 Betty earned the M.A. degree in English; and Frank the Ed.D. degree in Social Foundations of Education.
Frank's dissertation at George Peabody College for Teachers was "George Peabody (1795-1869), Founder of Modern Educational Philanthropy," 1120 pp., based on original papers in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts libraries, later revised and published by Vanderbilt University Press, 1971, revised and updated in 1995, as George Peabody, a Biography, plus many George Peabody articles, some of them listed below.
Franklin Parker taught 1-history and philosophy of education, and 2-international and comparative education at State University of New York, New Paltz: 1956-57; University of Texas, Austin: 1957-64 University of Oklahoma, Norman: 1964-68; and at West Virginia University, Morgantown: 1968-86. Post-retirement teaching was done at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff: 1986-89; and Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, 1989-94.
