“Extraordinary Understandings” of Composition at the University of Chicago: Frederick Champion Ward, Kenneth Burke, and Henry W. Sams

James P. Beasley

Abstract

While Richard Weaver, R. S. Crane, Richard McKeon, and Robert Streeter have been most identified with rhetoric at the University of Chicago and its institutional return in the 1950s, the archival record demonstrates that Frederick Champion Ward, dean of the undergraduate “College” from 1947 to 1954, and Henry W. Sams, director of English in the College during Ward’s tenure, created the useful tensions for these positions to emerge.
