Writing across the Curriculum and the Communications Movement: Some Lessons from the Past.

Russell, David R.

College Composition and Communication, v38 n2 p184-94 May 1987

Focuses on two programs that anticipated current writing across the curriculum programs: the Functional Writing Program at Colgate (1949-1961) and the Prose Improvement Committee at the University of California at Berkeley (1950-1965). Discusses how both programs viewed writing as an activity to unify the intellectual community and link disciplines. (AEW)
