http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/757943682

Materials related to Dr. Ralph W. Taylor's work with the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute, which was renamed the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1944. Taylor served as a consultant to the Institute on educational policy, curriculum design, and future planning starting around 1930 until 1970. The collection contains meeting reports, research notes, correspondence, publications, and a few other miscellaneous items. The Ralph W. Tyler Institute Self-study materials includes documents related to Tyler's visits to the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (RAMI), later named the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Most of the collection consists of meeting reports and agendas for Tyler's visits. These reports outline the material covered during various meetings, as well as research documents compiled for review. The reports date from 1932-1970. The collection also includes a correspondence file. Most of the correspondence is between Tyler and Dr. Leo F. Smith, a former Dean of Instruction at RIT. While some of these letters discuss specific matters related to Tyler's work, many deal with scheduling Tyler's visits. In addition, there is a folder of miscellaneous items at the end of the collection. Most of these items are publications and articles produced by Tyler.
