Bruce Kimball, professor in educational leadership, was presented with the National Education Association 2004 Art of Teaching Essay Prize for an essay describing the teaching career and innovations of C. C. Langdell, who served as dean of the Harvard Law School from 1870 to 1895.

Kimball also recently delivered the inaugural address at the installation of the Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Texas A&M University. His title for the event, attended by former President George Bush, was: “In Defense of Liberal Education, Now Under Siege by the Disciplinarians, Technologists, Outcomers, Bottom-liners, and Marketeers.”

Kimball is a leading authority on the concept and history of liberal education. He has lectured widely, published several articles, and authored several books, including the prize-winning Orators and Philosophers: A History of the Idea of Liberal Education (Teachers College Press, 1986, 1995), and The True Professional Ideal in America (Blackwell, 1992, 1995).

At Warner, Kimball teaches courses on the history of professional education, student affairs, leadership, and curriculum in higher education.
