...exploiting the labor of South African blacks in gold mines, it seems inappropriate that a library in a school training future public servants should bear his name--especially when the school itself is named after a president who vigorously supported human rights in Africa.

Despite Engelhard's hollow words about his concern for the "dignity of man" and "improved living conditions," the conditions in his mines were nearly as brutal as those of any other South African mine.

"I have seen," he wrote to André Breton in 1922, "yes, I have finally seen, that terrible things are happening today in painting." Amid hoots of derision from his former surrealist admirers, he marched firmly to the rear guard and took up an irritably defensive stance, maintaining it for the next half-century...
