Excerpt:
From a letter from CS Adams to Fred Mangold, April 28, 1942:
“I am sure that you are quite right in believing that the chief function of Black Mountain or any other college is to continue to educate people so that they may have the power to think logically and realistically. In time of war we are very apt to get a long way from the quest from truth. If colleges generally do not make conscious and vigorous efforts to continue that quest, we may win battles by lose everything else.”
Mr Adams is a member of the Advisory Council.

Announcements:
