Condition: New.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - â??The Nearing Caseâ? meticulously documents the events surrounding the dismissal of Professor Scott Nearing from the University of Pennsylvania in 1915. Authored by Lightner Witmer, this account delves into the controversy ignited by Nearing's progressive views on social and economic issues, which clashed with the conservative inclinations of the university's Board of Trustees. Witmer's work provides a detailed examination of the limitations placed on academic freedom and the pressures exerted by powerful interests within the university system. This historical record serves as a crucial case study for understanding the challenges faced by educators advocating for social change and the ongoing struggle to protect intellectual inquiry within academic institutions.
