Documentary describing the public controversy that swirled around the hiring of a new professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto in 1889. The debate was focused on the prospect of an American, James Mark Baldwin, later a major developmental psychologist and evolutionary theorist, being hired over a Canadian competitor, James Gibson Hume, who later headed the U. Toronto philosophy department for 30 years.
