1889-1961. British educationalist. He
inspired and oversaw the introduction of the
`village college' and community school
education, which he saw as regenerating rural
life. His ideas were also adopted in urban
areas. Morris emphasised the value of
providing single-site centres of continuing
education and leisure activity for both
adults and children alike. He persuaded
Walter Gropius, together with Maxwell Fry, to
design the Village College at Impington, near
Cambridge, 1939. He was chief education
officer for Cambridgeshire 1922-54.
