Pach, Jr. This dissertation examines the performance of American university advisors in the administration of technical assistance to Turkey and Iran during the first two decades of the Cold War. University advisors sought to improve and expand both formal and informal educational opportunities by demonstrating to Turks and Iranians pedagogical and administrative practices that had worked well in the United States. In so doing, most American university personnel acted in good faith and showed a genuine concern for improving quality of life for the Turks and Iranians with whom they worked. But these academic ambassadors had to negotiate cultural traditions that they did not fully understand, and they lacked a mechanism for altering the basic values in Turkish and Iranian society. As a result, the university contract program was only partially successful in encouraging educational improvements in these two countries. American advisors achieved their most significant successes when they allowed host country officials a high degree of control over technical assistance projects even if that meant the net result would be a different kind of educational reform or institution than they had originally intended to create. The reality that some techniques that worked well in the United States would not do so abroad and the modest size of the technical 4 assistance project also combined to limit American influence on education reform and expansion in these two countries. Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I want to thank the Ohio University History Department and the Contemporary History Institute (CHI) for providing a rigorous but friendly environment during my six years in Athens. Dr. Chester Pach proved to be a supportive, critical, and highly efficient advisor; Dr. Sholeh Quinn tutored me in Turkish and Iranian history and guided me through the teaching of Middle East history; Drs. John Brobst and Norman Goda grounded me in 20th century international history; Dr. Patrick Griffin helped me appreciate writing history as a craft; Dr. Jieli Li agreed to serve as a non-historian reader on my dissertation committee, and Dr. Marvin Fletcher found classes for me to teach in order to support myself during the research and writing. The department and CHI also funded several research trips and a summer of intensive foreign language work in Istanbul. I must also mention Drs. Michael Grow and Steve Miner at CHI for bringing to campus renowned experts on Middle East affairs and other interesting subjects. Finally, I thank the Graduate Student Senate for funding part of my research. Second, I want to thank my fellow graduate students who made studying at Ohio University a special experience. I especially thank my colleagues in the seminars on American Foreign Relations – Steve George, Sherry Hill, Paul Isherwood, Cassie Kleinfeltner, Christian Peterson, Jon Peterson, Mark Rice, and James Waite – for their helpful discussion and criticisms. I also thank Robert Davis – roommate, bibliographer, workout partner, meat smoker, and teaching resource. Many times… Third, I want to thank the small army of Turks who did their best to help me learn the basics of their language. These include: Bülent Bekcioğlu at The Ohio State 6 University; Muammer Serin, Hasan Mesut Meral, Aslı Altan, and Güliz Turgut at Boğaziçi (Bosporus) University; and Usame Tunager at Ohio University. I also thank The Ohio State University Center for Middle East Studies for providing me with a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship to begin my studies of Turkish in the summer of 2004. Fourth, I want to thank the archivists and scholars who helped me locate records and who added to my understanding of the projects that are the subject of this dissertation. At Brigham Young University, Jessie Embry shared her vast knowledge of Utah universities’ association with Point Four in Iran. She also provided me with hundreds of pages of transcripts from interviews she had done with former advisors and their families. Utah State University archivist Bob Parson was likewise very forthright with his time and knowledge of USU involvement in Iran. Whitney Miller, university archivist at Michigan State University, also helped me track down documents, as did Nancy Miller, university archivist at the University of Pennsylvania. I also want to thank Rami Regavim who shared with me his knowledge of Penn’s relationship with Pahlavi University. Last but far from least, I want to thank the staff at Ohio University’s Alden Library for their prompt and professional service. Kimberly Brooks, in particular, bailed me out of the library’s dog house on more than one occasion. Finally, I want to thank my family who provided invaluable support and diversions. My parents in particular encouraged me to pursue doctoral work. My wife Renee, who shares my intellectual interests and who has read the entire manuscript – some chapters more than once – deserves the warmest thanks of all. 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract ............................................................................................................................... 3 Acknowledgments............................................................................................................... 5 Abbreviations ...................................................................................................................... 8 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 10 Chapter 1: Foreign Technical Assistance: Historical Background and Development of University Participation .............................................................................................. 24 Chapter 2: From Missionaries to Point Four: American Educators in Turkey and Iran, 1870-1953 ................................................................................................................... 54 Chapter 3: Brigham Young University Education Advisors in Iran, 1951-1955 ............. 80 Chapter 4: Taking Learning to the People: Extension Education ................................... 114 Chapter 5: Bringing the Land Grant Concept to Eastern Turkey ................................... 143 Chapter 6: Building the Shah’s University ..................................................................... 176 Chapter 7: Over Here: Turkish and Iranian Participants at American Universities ....... 211 Epilogue .......................................................................................................................... 238 Bibliography ................................................................................................................... 255 8 ABBREVIATIONS Used in text: AID United States Agency for International Development (since 1961) BYU Brigham Young University CIC Committee on Institutional Cooperation CIPA Committee on Institutional Projects Abroad (1954-1960) ECA Economic Cooperation Administration (1948-1951) FOA Foreign Operations Administration (1953-1956) IIAA Institute for Inter-American Affairs (1942-1948) ICA International Cooperation Agency (1955-1961) LDS Latter Day Saints MBA Masters of Business Administration MSA Mutual Security Agency (1950-1953) MSU Michigan State University NALGCU National Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities (became NASULGC in 1969) NEF Near East Foundation PAKD Planlama, Arastirma, ve Koordinasyon Dairesi, Turkish Ministry of Education Planning, Research, and Coordination Office TCA Technical Cooperation Administration (1950-1952) USDA United States Department of Agriculture USU Utah State University Used in footnotes: AID Records of the United States Agency for International Development (RG 286, National Archives II, College Park, MD) BYU L.

  • The President's Report 1983
    President's Report 1983 Certain of the ingredients of the 1983 Commencement ceremonies in mid- May remain vividly in my mind as I reflect upon the University of Penn- sylvania and our sense of direction and mission in this third year of my admin- istration. The awarding of degrees symbolizes the close of one stage of a person's life and the commencing of another stage. So those of us who bear responsibility for the ongoing life of the University have completed the pro- cess of identifying certain salient ele- ments in Pennsylvania's future, and we are now involved in the planning which will serve to shape the future. I want to share some of the planning that is underway. The audience enthusiasm which greeted our Commencement speaker, syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman, indicated clearly that she had struck a chord in her reflections on the real world. At the same time her message went to the heart of what a university should be. Ms. Goodman suggested to the graduates that there is no sense in pretending that they can plan a future for themselves without regard to the future of the country and the future of humanity; that there is nothing more self-defeating and reckless than a plan to ignore the public world. Here at the University we are exa- mining how we can most effectively - relate our human capital and the attendant resources to the recognized needs and expectations of the larger ; society. This report will focus upon ., people... planning.. and progress within Penn.

  • Education and Emigration: the Case of the Iranian-American Community
    Education and Emigration: The case of the Iranian-American community Sina M. Mossayeb Teachers College, Columbia University Roozbeh Shirazi Teachers College, Columbia University Abstract This paper explores the plausibility of a hypothesis that puts forth perceived educational opportunity as a significant pull factor influencing Iranians' decisions to immigrate to the United States. Drawing on various literatures, including research on educational policy in Iran, government policy papers, and figures from recent studies and census data, the authors establish a case for investigating the correlation between perceived educational opportunity (or lack thereof) and immigration. Empirical findings presented here from a preliminary survey of 101 Iranian-born individuals living in the U.S. suggest that such a correlation may indeed exist, thus providing compelling grounds for further research in this area. The paper expands on existing literature by extending prevailing accounts of unfavorable conditions in Iran as push factors for emigration, to include the draw of perceived educational opportunity, as a coexisting and influential pull factor for immigration to the U.S. Introduction Popular discourse about Iranian immigration to the United States focuses on the social and political freedoms associated with relocation. The prevailing literature on Iranian immigration explains why people leave Iran, but accounts remain limited to a unilateral force--namely, unfavorable conditions in Iran. Drawing on existing studies of Iranian educational policies and their consequences, we propose an extension to this thesis. We hypothesize that perceived educational opportunity is a significant attraction for Iranians in considering immigration to the U.S. To establish a foundation for our research, we provide a background on Iran's sociopolitical climate after the 1978/1979 revolution and examine salient literature on Iran's higher education policy.

The clergy, both shia and non-shia, assumed responsibility for instructing youth in basic literacy and the fundamentals of religion. Knowledge of reading and writing was not considered necessary for all the population, and thus education generally was restricted to the sons of the economic and political elite.
