This second of two volumes continues the story of one of the last century's most influential figures in higher education. A leading visionary, architect, leader, and fighter for the University of California, Clark Kerr was chancellor of the Berkeley campus from 1952 to 1958 and president of the university from 1958 to 1967. He saw the university through its golden years-a time of both great advancement and great conflict. This absorbing memoir is an intriguing insider's account of how the University of California rose to the peak of scientific and scholarly stature and how, under Kerr's unique leadership, it evolved into the institution it is today. In Volume II: Political Turmoil, Kerr turns to the external and political environment of the 1950's and 1960's, contrasting the meteoric rise of the University of California to the highest pinnacle of academic achievement with its troubled political context. He describes his attempts to steer a middle course between attacks from the political Right and Left and discusses the continuing attacks on the university, and on him personally, by the state Un-American Activities Committee. He provides a unique point of view of the Free Speech Movement on the Berkeley campus in the fall of 1964. He also details the events of January 1967, when he was dismissed as president of the university by the Board of Regents.College administratorsBiography60s.academia.autobiography.berkeley.biography.california master plan.california.campus protest.campus.chancellor.clark kerr.college administration.college campus.college.education.educator.free speech movement.gi bill.higher education.history.loyalty oath.memoir.nonfiction.politics.protest.state university.student life.student protest.uc berkeley.uc system.university of california.university president.university.veterans.vietnam.war.College administrators378.794/67Kerr Clark1911-2003.48186Gade Marian L.1934-1632201Kawaoka Maureen1632202MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826980403321Political turmoil4125219UNINA
