They were Arnold Hely, Sandra Morrison and Michael Newman. The International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame was founded in the mid 1990s to recognise leaders in the field of adult and continuing education. The inaugural induction took place in 1996. Since that date some fourteen annual ‘classes’ have been inducted. Today the Hall of Fame membership consists of some 180 living and some 48 deceased members. The official home of the Hall ofFame is the University of Oklahoma’s Centre for Continuing Education in Norman, Oklahoma. The virtual Hall of Fame can be found at www.halloffame.outreach.

Later he was the prime mover in establishing the Asian South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education (ASPBAE) and was, until his most untimely death in 1967, its General Secretary. In this paper I will focus on Hely’s efforts to bring Australian adult education into the mainstream of world adult education. (Please refer to Appendix A fora brief outline ofArnold Hely’s life and his career in adult education.)  \nSome background  \nThe 1950s was a period of some uncertainty in Australian adult education. More and more it was becoming obvious that not all stakeholders were happy with the predominant position held by the universities within the field. This position of the universities is favoured by the ‘great tradition view’ of adult education. Derek Whitelock presented the most complete exposition of the great tradition interpretation of the development ofAustralian adult  \n194 Roger Morris  \neducation in his book, The great tradition: A history of adult education in Australia (1974). In his study, Whitelock strongly emphasised the continuity in the Australian context of the nineteenthcentury English educational ideal that the liberally educated person, the cultured adult, was the ultimate outcome of successful adult education. Matthew Arnold, J.H. Newman and Albert Mansbridge were cited as the major intellectual influences on the development of adult education in Australia as well as in Britain. Of course, such adult education was not necessarily without important social and other purposes. However, there was a heavy insistence that the major purpose must be a liberal one and that adult education should be non-vocational and non-credit and pursued on the basis of the learner’s own volition. Advocates ofthe great tradition point of view liked to distinguish between ‘adult education’, as a particular type of narrowly defined educational provision, and the ‘education of adults’, which was described as being merely ed","cbCaijw5oJh2i9sV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijw5oJh2i9sV","pdf",155087,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Hall of Fame ceremony (2009) and context\n# Some background\n## Great tradition view and stakeholder tensions\n# Australian universities and adult education in the 1950s\n## University participation and regional differences","[{\"question\":\"Who was Arnold Hely and why is he significant in adult education?\",\"answer\":\"Arnold Hely (1907–1967) is described as a most significant figure in the history of adult education in New Zealand, Australia, and internationally.
