Abstract:
The community of Oberlin, Ohio, located in the northeast corner of the state, holds an important place in the history of the education of Black Americans. In 1834, one year after its founding, the trustees of Oberlin College agreed to admit students, “irrespective of color.” They were the only college, at that time, to adopt such a policy. Oberlin's history as the first college to admit Black students and its subsequent abolitionist activities are crucial to the discussion of Black educational history. Opportunities for education before the Civil War were not common for most of the American population, but for Blacks, these opportunities were close to nonexistent. In the South, it was illegal for Blacks to learn to read or write. In the North, there was limited access to public schooling for Black families. In addition, during the early nineteenth century there were no Black colleges for students to attend. Although Bowdoin College boasted the first Black graduate in 1827, few other colleges before the Civil War opened their doors to Black students. Therefore, the opportunity that Oberlin offered to Black students was extraordinarily important. The decision to admit Black students to the college, and offer them the same access to the college curriculum as their white classmates, challenged the commonly perceived notion of Blacks as childlike, inferior, and incapable of learning.

Abstract:
Abstract Roger Sperry’s scientific career from his beginnings at Oberlin College in 1934 to his Nobel Prize in 1981 and his death in 1994 is examined from the point of view of the interaction between his scientific works and the evolution of his scientific philosophy. A progressive disengagement from the initial ambience of a reductionist and behaviorist attitude and a move toward the elaboration of an emergentist view of the mind-body problem is observed. This evolution is based on observations on the global and resistant properties of the central nervous system in animals in which the architecture of peripheral nerves has been surgically modified, on reflections on qualia (subjective global experiences such as that of pain). It follows many detailed observations of patients whose two cerebral hemispheres have been surgically disconnected for medical reasons, and in whom both the cognitive abilities of each separated cortical hemisphere and the unity of consciousness persist. Sperry’s resultant emergentist philosophy is paradigmatic of the strong form of emergence: not only is the global mind more than the sum of its parts, but in consciousness has a definite, downward causation power on subsequent and subjacent neural process. This view may be logically defendable only in a diachronic view of emergence, well in phase with a possible emergentist view of Time itself.
