Clarence William Hunnicutt was born August 19, 1907 in Whittier, California to Jesse and May Williams Hunnicutt. He attended the University of Arizona and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1930. He remained at the university to continue his education, earning his master’s degree in educational administration in 1931. Hunnicutt would later go on to receive his doctorate in elementary education from Stanford University in 1942. He remained in Arizona for several years after graduating, working as a principal and secondary school administrator. In 1939, he took a job as the Santa Barbara County curriculum advisor in California. This position, however, was short-lived as Hunnicutt was hired by Syracuse University’s School of Education in 1940.
During his time at Syracuse University, Hunnicutt filled a number of roles for the School of Education. He was professor of education, director of elementary education, and lecturer for the School of Education’s J. Street Lecture Series in 1949. He instilled his classes and lectures with the belief that a student should not be taught how to conform but how to take responsibility and be a creative individual.
Additionally, Hunnicutt served as a consultant to public schools across the nation; worked with the Handwriting Foundation in Washington, D.C.; held various positions in the National Education Association, including the first president of the New York State Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development; and served as a visiting professor at Stanford University and the University of the Philippines. From 1964 to 1967, he spent time traveling and consulting with public schools in six Latin American countries in order to help develop one inclusive social studies textbook to be used in the different nations. Hunnicutt stayed at Syracuse University until 1967 when he moved to the University of South Florida to help develop a new doctoral program in elementary education. He remained in Florida until his death in August 1980.
The Clarence W. Hunnicutt Papers consist of materials from courses that Hunnicutt taught and scholarly publications written by the professor of education. Spanning from 1944 to 1966, the papers comprise two series.
The Course Materials Series is made up of syllabi, class outlines, book lists, teaching resources, and tests. Hunnicutt also kept a variety of student work, including papers from students and doctoral candidates, projects, and essays. The second series, Writings, encompasses a variety of Hunnicutt’s professional writing and publications on elementary education, curriculum, dealing with children, and education in an urban landscape, produced during his time at Syracuse University, as well as the survey reports from several of his consulting appointments.
