Born in rural Nebraska, and trained first in a local Wesleyan college and then a Nebraska normal school as a teacher, Waldo was eventually educated in political theory at the University Of Nebraska (MA) and Yale University (PhD) where he was advised by Francis Coker and others. He came to shape much of the future of scholarship in the field of Public Administration . His Yale dissertation was reworked after civil service during World War II into a classic (perhaps the classic) work of public administration called '' The Administrative State '', published in 1948. Also famous for a debate on the nature of Bureaucracy in '' Public Administration Review '' with Herbert Simon just after World War II, Waldo framed public administration as an essential element of democratic governance. Eventually he taught at the University Of California At Berkeley and the Maxwell School at Syracuse University where he influenced many future scholars of government. He had profound influence on a number of young academics in the late 1960s by organizing the Minnowbrook Conference . Others deeply indebted to Waldo for guidance and sponsorship include Gary Wamsley . His many friends included Leonard D. White , Harold Seidman , Lynton K. Caldwell , Paul P. Van Riper , Emmette Redford and Frederick C. Mosher , whom Waldo called "the doyen of public administration." FURTHER READING
