I may be remembering this wrong
I had a quick look at the Dodd Report to the Reece Committee but that is shorter than what I remember. Perhaps Dodd did a talk somewhere and I am remembering him describing how he got access to an archive of minute books and how in the early days around 1904 they were less discreet about revealing true intent.
Or maybe I got the rough date from this bit…
The League for Industrial Democracy came into being in 1905,
when it was known as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, for the
purpose of awakening the intellectuals of this country to the ideas
and benefits of socialism. This organization might be compared to
the Fabian Society in England, which was established in 1884 to
spread socialism by peaceful means.
The Progressive Education Association was established around
-
Since then it has been active in introducing radical ideas to
education which are now being questioned by many . They include
the idea that the individual must be adjusted to the group as a result
of his or her educational experience, and that democracy is
little more than a system for cooperative living.
I agree that they have been working on things for much longer, but there are certain points in time where there seems to be a flurry of activity as they come to a decision about how to run the next phase.
For instance Albert Pike and his Society of the Golden Circle, who triggered the Confederacy and the Civil War to realize their dream of a Golden Circle of slave owning states in an arc from the Southern US, down through Mexico and the Caribbean. And then at the end of the 19th century there seems to have been an idea of treating the 20th century as a new era, which led to another flurry and a century long grand plan.
