Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book anthologizes 25 speeches and documents from the late-Duke University President and educator William Preston Few, alongside a biographical appreciation from Robert H. Woody. From his years at Trinity College through his presidency at Duke, the volume reveals Few's vision of education, one prioritizing lively discussion, independent thought, and strong student-faculty relationships. Thematically, Few's commitment to open and robust debate within the university setting comes through clearly. The collection equally emphasizes dismantling intellectual and cultural barriers to education. Few's remarks on the infamous Bassett affair of 1917, where Duke faculty defended professor John Spencer Bassett from a lynch mob intent on silencing his controversial views on race, stands as a notable example. Few's speeches and writings, as collected in this volume, add historical depth and insight to the evolution of university life and culture in the American South during the first half of the 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
