SUMMARY:A Light in Dark Times: The New School for Social Research an
 d Its University in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1919 in the name of academic freedom\, the New Sch
 ool for Social Research quickly became a pioneer in adult ed
 ucation—what its first president\, Alvin Johnson\, called â€
 śthe continuing education of the educated." During the 1920s
 \, the New School became the place to go to hear famous peopl
 e lecture on politics\, the arts\, and recent developments in 
 new fields of inquiry such as anthropology and psychoanalysi
 s. In 1933 Johnson opened the University in Exile within the
  New School\, providing visas and jobs for nearly two hundred
  refugees fleeing Hitler. And through these exiled scholars\,
  he re-created in miniature the great intellectual tradition
 s of Europe's imperiled universities.
