  • J. Patrick Biddix and Robert A. Schwartz

Abstract

Walter Dill Scott (1869–1955), tenth president of Northwestern University and pioneer of industrial psychology, is an essential architect of student personnel work. This study of his accomplishments, drawing on records from the Northwestern University archives, tells a story about the people he influenced and his involvement in codifying what was formerly student personnel work, now called student affairs.
