Mr.. Cooper spent ten years travelling
among American college men, and many
months visiting the leading educational
Institutions Of Europe and the East be-
fore entering upon the writing Of this
book. In II he declares:
Tt IL my belief after Visiting more
than five hundred institutions in North
America. that the quality OF instruction
in any one OF these institutions of the
INST grade does not vary sufficiently to
render the choice OF a college on the
ground Of educational advantages a mat
ter Of great moment The values which
the small college loses from inferior
equipment are usually. Offset by the more
direct access Of the student to the per
sonal!ty of the teacher, and often by
closer friendships with fellow-students
The question awakens the inquiry AZ to
whether the colleges Of America are to-
day sending into the world trained lead
ers or subservient followers: whether
graduates enter their special careers with
a real message and mission, or whether
however optimistically they may begin
their work, their. high purposes are
buried Of not beneath the rush Of prac-
teal and material affairs"
Mr.. Cooper's discussion Of the Amer
lean college man and Of Americas prob
I lens. as they relate to the country s
educational institutions, deals with such
| topics as general characteristics. ;edpca-
ton a-la-carte. the college campus. lea
sons for going to college. the college
man and the world. He writes with
both understanding and helpfulness; and
the book IL q distinct contribution
toward solution OF the problem OF pre-
pairing the young men OF our nation fol-
leadership and useful citizenship.
