Notes

1The curriculum study was not without its critics. For a balanced discussion of all volumes of the study, see the review by members of the faculty of the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration, “Goals of social work education: Reviews of ‘The Social Work Curriculum Study,’” Social Service Review, vol. 33, no. 4 (December 1959), pp. 360–445.

2Arnold Gurin, who headed the CSWE's Community Organization Curriculum Development Project, funded by the President's Committee, in the 1960s, credited the changes signaled by the 1962 CPS with making the federal interest in social work education possible. See “The Community Organization Curriculum Development Project: A preliminary report,” Social Service Review, vol. 42, no. 4 (December 1968), pp. 421–434.
