Preferred term

William M. Beckner  

Definition

  • Unlike his fellow Presbyterians Charles Hodge and Robert L. Dabney, William M. Beckner was neither a well-known seminary professor nor a frequent critic of state-sponsored education. Indeed, historians count him among the most visible advocates of public schooling in late-19th-century Kentucky. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Beckner, William M.]
