Here's a good introduction to Charles Peirce's Metaphysical Club at Hopkinshttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/288181937_The_Johns_Hopkins_Metaphysical_Club_and_Its_Impact_on_the_Development_of_the_Philosophy_and_Methodology_of_Sciences_in_the_Late_19th-Century_United_States …
Just read this. Curious what connection you see between the Metaphysical Club & David's essay? The most obvious connection I see is that it's often such small clubs which seem most inoculated against many of the more negative phenomena David described.

Sent a DM and another link too — it is an old concern, how to teach and research and produce knowledge simultaneously; knowing the history helps clarify which problems are institutional and which aren’t.
