This paper represents an unusually successful crystallization of thinking concerning the evaluation of quality. It contains brief but remarkably complete discussions of the purposes of evaluation, problems of definition, criteria and standards, various approaches to measurement, the reliability of qualitative judgments and indices of quality.
