Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses and Papers: 1908 1909
The candidates for degrees today may be comforted with the assurance that in their triumphant university hour they are not to be oppressed with admonition and preachment. I come to you with a little of the feeling of Dr Henry Van Dyke, who once said something to the effect that he stopped preaching to a great New York city church and went down to Princeton to teach the boys, because he felt the irony of exhortation or argument with veteran parishioners who had been many times saved or were apparently past all hope. Your new found veteran standing shall exempt you. Your degrees will evidence your secular salvation, and even though you were limping spiritually, as I do not suppose you are, benevo lent words would seem commonplace today.
The theme of the hour shall be academic freedom and the limits of conduct which will let the truth thrive. The literature of the subject is prolific but there is no clamor in the forum just ~now. There has been no recent crucifixion without cause. There is no one in the stocks. There is no impending trial. There is no omi nous raven on a bust of the goddess of wisdom above the chamber door. Freedom may be discussed with freedom. An academic question may be treated in an academic way.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough exploration of the concept of academic freedom and its limitations within the American educational system. The author, a prominent figure in early 20th-century education, examines the evolution of higher education in America. The book discusses the tension between the need for academic freedom to foster intellectual growth and the necessity for institutional accountability and social responsibility. The author emphasizes that academic freedom should not extend to activities that undermine the integrity of the institution or harm others. The book also acknowledges the role of boards of trustees and university presidents in balancing these competing interests. Ultimately, the author argues that academic freedom and institutional balance are essential for the continued growth and vitality of American higher education.
