God and man at Yale
the superstitions of "academic freedom"
Book • 1951
Written in 1951, God and Man at Yale is a critical examination of Yale University's undergraduate education by William F. Buckley Jr., who had just graduated from the institution.
The book argues that Yale's faculty were undermining the university's founding ethos of Christian humanism by promoting atheism, collectivism, and Keynesian economics.
Buckley criticized specific courses and professors for their hostility to religion and individualism, suggesting that this was a betrayal of the values held by Yale's alumni.
The book is considered a seminal work in the American conservative movement and had a significant impact on Buckley's career and public profile.
