{7:101:1293:I:135,690:2244,2118} March 7, 1972 Jerold W. Apps, Chairman Commission of
Professors of Adult Education The
University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Dear Jerry: Thank you for
March ,3 regarding the "very positive feedback" from the Executive
Committee about my proposed study. I perused the letter you enclosed from John
Nioul and came to the conclusion the wrong letter had been enclosed, John's
note that you enclosed recommended that I be a part of the monograph study
group regarding strategies for establishing graduate programs in adult
education. You had wanted to enclose his note which suggested that I might wish
to develop a more formal proposal: for the funding 'of my historical study.
Could you send a copy of that letter to me? . You may remember that I submitted
the following budget (5 year total $2500):. 1972 - $500 to provide travel
costs, meals and lodging for me to make an Initial survey of materials at
Syracuse Library and to arrange cooperatively with the Library for further
collection of material; xerography; blank tapes, and postage for getting tapes
of "the pioneers.". 1973 - $500 to provide travel costs, meals, and
lodging for a trip to AEA headquarters In Washington, D.C., to review materials
with stop-offs at Syracuse on the way. 1974 - $500 to provide for a trip to
Syracuse Library, tapes, postage, and student assistance for the project at my
home institution 1975 - $500 for telephone calls, tapes, possibly Mr. J. Apps March 7, 1972 . Is this too
informal a proposal? Am I asking too little to do what is in essence a rather
big job? Do you have any suggestions on format and content for a proposal of
this nature? If you and John could give me some advice along these lines I would
be most grateful. . Looking forward to hearing from you soon, I am Sincerely
yours, Robert A. Carlson Associate Professor of Continuing Education

Commission of Professors of Adult Education University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture 208 Agriculture Hall Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Dear Jerry: I am
sorry that I was not able to meet the February 25th deadline in answering your
letter of February 8th concerning Bob Carlson's proposal as chairman of the
Archives Committee. I have now read it, think that it has merit, and am in
favor of we do what is necessary to initiate having the proposal funded. I plan
to be at the executive committee meeting in Chicago on April 6. I would
appreciate it if you would put on the agenda a consideration of the session at
the next national AEA conference which is to be cosponsored, as I understand
it, by the Research Commission of ABA and the Commission of Adult Education
Professors. This meeting is to be similar to that which was held at the
conference in Los Angeles at which Malcolm Knowles, Cy Houle, and Paul Sheats
spoke on "The Utilization of Research in Adult Education". Since last
year's session was chaired by the Chairman of the Commission of Adult Education
Professors (Bill Griffith), I will need to chair the session this year as
Chairman of the Research Commission. I met in Los Angeles briefly with the
executive committee of the Research Commission to lay tentative plans for this
session to be submitted in proposal form to the executive committee of the
Commission of Adult Education Professors, hopefully on April 6. I have called a
meeting of the executive committee of the Research Commission on April 7 to
receive reactions and suggestions from the meeting on April 6 and to take any
next steps necessary to make plans for the session next fall. Sincerely, A.
Farmer, Jr. Prof. of Education

Department of Agriculture and Extension Education, 205 Agriculture Hall,
Madison, Wisconsin 53706. Dear Jerry: I
have enclosed a partial list of some of Scheffler's work. The idea of a
committee to work on philosophical considerations appeals to me. Such a
committee has as much merit as the theory-building one. As for a theme of the
Commission meetings, my second proposal would be to bring Sullivan, Illich's
colleague, as a resource person for the Commission and as a speaker at the
Social Philosophy Luncheon. Of course, I am really strapped for funds. The
enclosed letter from Wood tells you what I have to work with now. Are there any
funds to cover the expenses of a resource person at the commission meetings?. Sincerely
yours, John A. Niemi, Associate
Professor of Adult Education.

Apps 205 Agriculture Hall University of Wisconsin . Madison, Wisconsin 53706
U.S.A. Dear Jerry: Here's the proposal that the Executive Committee seemed to
desire. I've increased the amount $100 per year out of fears related to
inflation and to feelings I had failed to include enough funding for
xerography. With this amount of funding, even if I fail to get any
supplementary assistance, I'm sure I can proceed without dipping too deeply
into my own pocket. I went into a bit of detail in the proposal regarding
rights of the contracting parties because this seemed to be the sort of thing
the Executive Committee wished. With every hope that the proposal and the
amounts requested will be approved, I am Sincerely yours, Robert A. Carlson
