Excerpt from A Question of Academic Freedom: Being the Official Correspondence Between Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, and J. E. Spingarn, Professor of Comparative Literature, and Chairman of the Division of Modern Language and Literature, in Columbia University, During The
On March 6, 1911, without explanation of any kind, Professor J. E. Spingarn was relieved from further academic service at Columbia University. During the controversy which followed, both in academic circles and in the public press through out the country, constant reference was made to the official records in the case, which appeared in the newspapers in imperfect fragments only. It has been felt by many that the time has now come when the ends of higher education would best be served by the publication of these records in full. Certainly, it is important that whatever publicity is attracted to the worst defects of our univer sities should not only be based on trustworthy data, but be adequate and complete. In this pam phlet all the official correspondence that passed between Professor Spingarn and President Nich olas Murray Butler during the academic year 1910-1911, with a few other documents germane to the case, is now presented to the consideration of the alumni of Columbia, not because of any interest which these letters or documents possess in themselves, but in the hope that, by the very fact of publicity, and by the light which they shed on the administration of the University, they may serve to arouse attention to the cause of academic freedom.

"And how can a man teach with authority, which is the life of teaching, - how can he be a doctor in his books, as he ought to be, or else had better be silent, - when all he teaches, all he delivers, is but under the tuition, under the correction of a patriarchal licenser, to blot or alter what precisely accords not with the hide-bound humour which he calls his judgment? Yet if these things be not resented seriously and timely by them who have the remedy in their power, the more sorrow will belong to that hapless race of men, whose misfortune it is to have understanding. Henceforth, let no man care to learn, or care to be more than worldly wise; for certainly, in higher matters, to be ignorant and slothful, to be a common steadfast dunce, will be the only pleasant life."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the nature of academic freedom and power structures within universities, focusing on the unjust dismissal of Professor Joel Spingarn from Columbia University in 1911. The author presents an insider's view of the events leading up to Spingarn's dismissal, including the university's suppression of his resolution to acknowledge the work of a colleague who had recently been fired, and the subsequent threats made by university president Nicholas Murray Butler to curtail his academic pursuits. Through Spingarn's own letters and personal accounts, the book exposes the abuse of authority and the struggle for intellectual independence at the heart of educational institutions. Ultimately, it serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of academic freedom and the dangers of institutional suppression of dissenting voices, demonstrating the pivotal role that scholarly autonomy plays in ensuring open and progressive intellectual exchange.
