More on Albert Bowker

We had a very interesting conversation in class yesterday about Chancellor Albert Bowker: What were his intentions? What were his beliefs? Why did he pursue the policies he did? I’ve posted on the Group site a 1987 interview with Bowker, conducted by a Mathematics journal, which has a few pages (480-82) dealing with several of these questions related to CUNY (the rest of the interview is about other phases of his career).
