John Nuttall (1924-1928), Joseph Sudweeks (1929-1930), Asael C. Lambert (1931-1947), Reuben D. Law (1948-1954), Owen L. Barnett (1955), Percy E Burrup (1956-1957), and Keith R. Oaks (1958-1962). The unit later merged with departments of Educational Administration, Educational Philosophy and Programs, and Educational Research and Services to form Graduate Department of Education in 1962.
