• catalog description "George Ticknor (1791-1871), educator and author, served as the first Smith Professor of the French and Spanish Languages and Literatures at Harvard from 1817 to 1835. Ticknor was a tireless advocate of educational reform at Harvard. He supported the division of students in courses according to academic proficiency and merit, the division of the College into departments grouped around related subjects, an elective system from which students could select their own courses above a prescribed minimum, and an open door policy which would allow students who were not candidates for a degree to take specialized courses at Harvard. Ticknor's efforts met with resistance from colleagues and by 1827 the reforms he supported were all but abandoned in the College at-large, except in the Department of Modern Languages, where under his direction they were largely successful. Ticknor resigned his professorship in May 1835 after becoming discouraged over the prospects of reform at Harvard College. He spent his remaining years traveling abroad, writing books and articles, and helping to establish the Boston Public Library.".
