A portrait photograph of Dorothy Caroline Enderis. Born in 1880, Dorothy Enderis is one of the great historical educational reformers in the history of adult education, community education, and recreation. She was a visionary and a pioneer in pairing education with recreation and extending learning to the larger community, and she saw in incorporating these an opportunity to educate and develop lives. Dorothy retired in 1948 and died four years later in 1952. She was inducted into the National Recreation and Park Association's Robert W. Crawford Recreation and Park Hall of Fame in October of 1989.
