label: Description
content: Born in Michigan, Paul V. Sangren (1897 or 1898-1967) taught school for a time, rising to become superintendent of schools in Clio and Zeeland. He graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 1920 and enrolled at the University of Michigan, receiving an A.M. in 1922 and publishing his PhD. dissertation in 1927. His thesis concerned the measurement of achievement in silent reading. From1923, he was associated with the Western Normal School (soon renamed the Western State Teacher’s College). Sangren took on a variety of positions including Director of Educational Research, then Dean of Administration, and, from 1936, president of the college. He kept the position through the college’s transition to the role of Western Michigan University in 1957, and retiring in 1960. Mary C. Wilson (1902-1983) obtained her B.A. from Louisiana Polytechnic Institute in 1922, her M.A. in 1930 from George Peabody College for Teachers in Tennessee, and was teaching at the Campus Training School at Western State Teacher’s College in 1935. She would go on to complete a PhD. at the University of Iowa and return to Louisiana as an associate professor of education at Northwestern State College in 1946.
