Biographical NoteReturn to Top
Frederic Thomas Giles was born in Sprague, Washington, in 1916. He was educated at the University of Washington and served as president of Everett Community College from 1953-1961. He then began work at the University of Washington as the director of junior college relations and professor of education. In the former position, he was responsible for junior college curricula as it pertained to university curricula, and he acted as general liaison between junior colleges and university academic staff. Giles became the dean of the UW College of Education in 1967 and held that position until 1982. Prof. Giles participated in several national associations concerned with higher education. He was interested in the development of the community college as an institution and was a strong advocate for public school education.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection consists of correspondence, speeches and writings, consultant files, evaluation files, and extensive documentation of Dean Giles's professional activities. These records do not pertain to his function as dean of the College of Education but rather reflect his professional interests and achievements. Giles was an active participant in the expansion of higher education in the United States, with a special interest in community and junior college development. He lectured extensively throughout his career, especially during the years preceeding his deanship, and he also wrote about these subjects and conducted studies on higher education in the state of Washington. His participation in many national associations concerned with higher education, such as the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) and the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE), are especially well documented in this collection.
