William Wolfgang Brickman, founding member and President, 1956-59, of the Comparative and International Education Society, died June 22, 1986, in a Philadelphia hospital leukemia unit. Born June 30, 1913, in New York City, he attended city schools and earned B.A. and M.S. degrees at City College, a New York University Ph.D. and an honorary M.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. His more than 40-year teaching career began at City College, continued at New York University, and concluded at the University of Pennsylvania. He wrote and published many diverse works. As editor of "School and Society" from 1953 to 1976, Brickman encouraged and published young scholars, many for the first time. For the Norwood educational reprint series he edited over 40 books, contributed substantive articles to encyclopedias, and wrote numerous articles and reviews for professional journals. He held many visiting professorships and was a member of numerous committees. Language skills, cultural appreciation, inexhaustible energy, scrupulous accuracy, and historical insight eminently fitted William Brickman for high achievement as a teacher and researcher in the areas of history of education and comparative and international education.
