As new condition blue boards with gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Introduction; Acknowledgments; Contributors; Editorial Board; Notes and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed and inscribed by the co-editor, Gary S.Hauk, with blue pen on the second title page. "This book celebrates men and women whose spirit of inquiry - their sense of curiosity and ways of thinking - nudged them down paths that tested their mettle. Most passed the test. Sometimes risking social disfavor or finding themselves at odds with academic convention, occasionally doing nothing more than inhabiting the scholar's lonely solitude, most of the characters who fill these pages also filled their lives and those of their friends and colleagues with a quiet courage that shaped their world for the better. Their courage also made a better Emory. Institutions. like individuals, do not always manifest the ancient virtues of fortitude, moderation, justice, and wisdom, as the latest news reports confirm. Institutions draft charters, credos, mission statements, and mottos, just as individuals adopt philosophies and creeds. When institutions succeed in meeting those high standards, it is because of the men and women who live up to them. Emory University, now close to the end of its second century, has sought to square action with rhetoric and model the best aims of education. Whether establishing new programs or undermining long-held assumptions, moving to another city or pausing campus development to examine principles, the institution has asked difficult questions. Emory has endured because of the virtue and stamina of individual men and women who knew where this courageous inquiry should lead. The forty-four chapters in this book tell story after story of an academic community striving to exercise the courage of its ideals and its questions." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut.
That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida.
Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
