When Clarence D. Kingsley collapsed and died on the stairs of Cincinnati's old Central Union Station, the last day of the year 1926, little note was paid him as an educator. He had been chairman of the N.E.A. Commission on the Reorganization of Secondary Education (henceforth the C.R.S.E.) and in that position the driving force behind the most significant educational document of the age, “The Cardinal Principles Report.” But this seemed all but forgotten. His hometown newspaper, The Syracuse Herald, identified him as a “school engineer” and the local Cincinnati paper called him a “consulting engineer” in the obituary columns.
