Three-page typewritten report, headed "United States Department of the Interior--Office of Indian Affairs" and titled "Chicago Seminar," circa 1943, by D'Arcy McNickle. The report is an overview of the Seminar on Indian Education conducted by the Committee on Human Development at the University of Chicago, March 3-13 [1943]. McNickle lauds the field workers for their dedication despite constraints of time, language, and war-time shortages. He describes the examination of the data, from the tests individually and in their relationships as a whole. The end of the seminar discussed a tentative administrative application of the findings. Publications of the findings and recommendations as well as a book for the general public will be forthcoming.
