He hardly left the university until he retired as research professor in 2023. Professor Mansfield, at age 94, is still writing. Encounter Books has just published a 136-page book by him titled \"Where Harvard Went Wrong.\" Prof. Mansfield says he's one of the conservative faculty members of his university, one of three. His book contains speeches and essays, covering over 50 years, aimed at his students and colleagues. Mansfield's plea has always been that Harvard abandon, in his words, its \"partisanship with the left and adopt instead a bipartisanship that welcomes conservatives as well as liberals.\" Learn more about your ad choices.
