Abstract

[Duberman’s most thorough study of education was his massive history of Black Mountain, a small experimental college in North Carolina. In this excerpt, we see the faculty debate the connection between community membership and individual growth. Do close-knit communities stifle or enrich? The entire book is a rumination on the benefits and costs of intimacy. In his Princeton classes, Duberman had not found the answers. But like the Black Mountain faculty, he kept asking, taking risks, pushing back against critics, and searching for satisfactory ways to join hands with others.]
