>>13201669Weird that it is so difficult to obtain a copy of the dissertation of someone so famous. The only way to see it would be to go to the Rare Books offsite library in person, which is only open from 10a-3p four days a week. Books at that site cannot be removed from the premises and can only be photocopied with special written permission. In order to make use of the Rare Books offline library, you must have an affiliation with Columbia University.
Meanwhile my nobody manager's dissertation on something about adult education written in the mid-80s is available online from microfiche scans.
The central point of awarding a doctorate is that you must add something to the body of human knowledge. Hiding the dissertation away where it's nearly impossible for the public to see is not how expansion of knowledge is accomplished.
