I never met John Dewey, whose style was a sort of verbal fog and who had written asking me to go to Mexico with him when he was investigating the cause of Trotsky ; ;

The failure of the system to catch on in North America was partly because of its internal deficiencies but also because the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress systems were already well established.

In 1879, Peirce was appointed Lecturer in logic at the new Johns Hopkins University, which was strong in a number of areas that interested him, such as philosophy ( Royce and Dewey did their PhDs at Hopkins ), psychology ( taught by G. Stanley Hall and studied by Joseph Jastrow, who coauthored a landmark empirical study with Peirce ), and mathematics ( taught by J. J. Sylvester, who came to admire Peirce's work on mathematics and logic ).

Alston's teaching style was influenced by the work of John Dewey, Arthur Wesley Dow, and Thomas Munro.

He firmly declined all of the offers and many believed he was foregoing his only opportunity to be president ; Thomas E. Dewey was considered the other probable winner, would presumably serve two terms, and Eisenhower, at age 66 in 1956, would then be too old.

Dewey was responsible for all revisions until his death in 1931.

While he lived, Melvil Dewey edited each edition himself: he was followed by other editors who had been very much influenced by him.

William Heard Kilpatrick ( 1871 – 1965 ) was a pupil of Dewey and one of the most effective practitioner of the concept as well as the more adept at proliferating the progressive education movement and spreading word of the works of Dewey.

The most famous early practitioner of progressive education was Francis Parker ; its best-known spokesperson was the philosopher John Dewey.

With Dewey as the director and his wife as principal, the University of Chicago Laboratory school, was dedicated “ to discover in administration, selection of subject-matter, methods of learning, teaching, and discipline, how a school could become a cooperative community while developing in individuals their own capacities and satisfy their own needs .” ( Cremin, 136 ) For Dewey the two key goals of developing a cooperative community and developing individuals ’ own capacities were not at odds ; they were necessary to each other.

For example, the work of Zacharias and Bruner was based in the developmental psychology of Jean Piaget and incorporated many of Dewey ’ s ideas of experiential education.

For Dewey education was social that helped bring together generations of people.

George Dewey Cukor (; July 7, 1899 – January 24, 1983 ) was an American film director.

In the 1920s, as modern journalism was just taking form, writer Walter Lippmann and American philosopher John Dewey debated over the role of journalism in a democracy.

Dewey, on the other hand, believed the public was not only capable of understanding the issues created or responded to by the elite, it was in the public forum that decisions should be made after discussion and debate.

John Dewey (; October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952 ) was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer whose ideas have been influential in education and social reform.

Dewey was an important early developer of the philosophy of pragmatism and one of the founders of functional psychology.

Dewey asserted that complete democracy was to be obtained not just by extending voting rights but also by ensuring that there exists a fully formed public opinion, accomplished by effective communication among citizens, experts, and politicians, with the latter being accountable for the policies they adopt.

In 1936, LaGuardia had special prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey, a future Republican presidential candidate, single out Lucky Luciano for prosecution.

The three leading candidates for the 1940 Republican nomination were all isolationists to varying degrees: Senators Robert Taft of Ohio and Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, and Thomas E. Dewey, the " gangbusting " District Attorney from New York.

This change was also reflected in a later poll taken by Gallup but not reported till after the convention: Willkie had pulled ahead among Republican voters by 44 % to only 29 % for the collapsing Dewey.

* November 2 – United States presidential election, 1948: Democratic incumbent Harry S. Truman defeats Republican Thomas E. Dewey and ' Dixiecrat ' Strom Thurmond.

Vandenberg, the senior Republican in the Senate, was the " favorite son " candidate of the Michigan delegation and was considered a possible compromise candidate if Taft or Dewey faltered.

By mid-June, little over one week before the Republican Convention opened, the Gallup poll reported that Willkie had moved into second place with 17 %, and that Dewey was slipping.

Gallup found the same thing in polling data not reported until after the convention: Willkie had moved ahead among Republican voters by 44 % to only 29 % for the collapsing Dewey.

His Republican opponent in 1944 was Governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey.

As 1944 began the frontrunners for the Republican nomination appeared to be Wendell Willkie, the party's 1940 candidate, Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, the leader of the party's conservatives, New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, the leader of the party's powerful, moderate eastern establishment, General Douglas MacArthur, then serving as an Allied commander in the Pacific theater of the war, and former Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen, then serving as a U. S. naval officer in the Pacific.

At the 1944 Republican National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, Dewey easily overcame Bricker and was nominated on the first ballot.

Virtually every prediction ( with or without public opinion polls ) indicated that incumbent President Harry S. Truman would be defeated by Republican Thomas E. Dewey.

With Eisenhower refusing to run, the contest for the Republican nomination was between New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, former Minnesota Governor Harold Stassen, Ohio Senator Robert Taft, California Governor Earl Warren, General Douglas MacArthur and Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan, the senior Republican in the Senate.

Dewey, who had been the Republican nominee in 1944, was regarded as the frontrunner when the primaries began.

As a result Truman won a stunning upset victory over his Republican opponent, Thomas E. Dewey.

In 1938, Edwin Jaeckle, the New York Republican Party Chairman, selected Dewey to run, unsuccessfully, for Governor of New York against the popular Democratic incumbent, Herbert H. Lehman.

Dewey sought the 1940 Republican presidential nomination.

Some Republican leaders considered Dewey to be too young ( he was only 38 ) and too inexperienced to lead the nation in wartime.

With Edwin Jaeckle leading his campaign, Dewey pursued the Republican nomination in 1944.

At the 1944 Republican Convention, his chief rivals, Ohio governor John W. Bricker and former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen both withdrew and Dewey was nominated almost unanimously.

However, Dewey polled 46 % of the popular vote, a stronger showing against Roosevelt than any previous Republican opponent.

Indeed, Dewey had successfully battled Taft and his conservatives for the nomination at the Republican Convention.

Dewey was the only Republican to be nominated for President twice and lose both times.

Dewey did not run for President in 1952, but he did play a major role in securing the Republican nomination for General Dwight Eisenhower.
