“In a liberal society, academic freedom and civic freedom are interdependent, but they are not the same.The first relates to the universal republic of letters, the second to the limited body politic. The recognition each must pay the other produces a delicate balance, easily upset when contestants locked in political struggle begin to see the university as a weapon or an obstacle.”

“In education as in scholarship, one must live in the provisional, always ready to acknowledge obsolescence and to adapt the forms of instruction to changes in both culture and society.”

“World War I made [my] father, despite his profession as banker, a life-long socialist. His deep-seated hostility to America's entry into the war-both as an anti-imperialist and an ethnic German-gave his political orientation, though still progressive in substance, a bitter, alienated quality by the time I came along in his forty-fifth year. I inherited a marginal's sensibility from him as a German. When my mother, who, unlike my father, was Jewish, encountered unpleasant social prejudice during my high-school years, I acquired a second marginal identity. Perhaps this sense of marginality enhanced history's fascination for me and shaped my attitude toward it, at once wary and engage. For me, as for my parents, politics acquired particular importance, both as a major determining force in life and as an ethical responsibility”
