The discussion of Jim Dixon and other Antioch Presidents has not examined
Algo Henderson and Doug McGregor. As a student and then an assistant
instructor. I observed both these men from afar. When they were in power
they had to guide the college through WWII and post war dislocations. The
faculty improved in quality. Marvelous students were attracted to the
college. The administrators (Dawson, , Pillard, Alexander,etc.) seemed
resourceful. Many innovative educational ideas were introduced, including
the strengthening  of Community Government, drama and music, and the use of
achievement tests to recognize student mastery of required subjects.

Others may wish to add to their accomplishments.
