Sinopsis

In 'Academic Freedom,' Charles William Eliot, president of Harvard University, delivers a compelling address before the New York Theta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Cornell University in 1907. Eliot eloquently explores the essential principles of academic freedom, arguing for its importance in fostering intellectual growth and societal progress. This address delves into the responsibilities and rights of educators and students within the academic sphere, advocating for an environment where open inquiry and the fearless pursuit of truth are paramount. Eliot?s insightful commentary remains relevant today, offering valuable perspectives on the ongoing debates surrounding free speech, intellectual diversity, and the role of universities in shaping informed and engaged citizens.
