How are the extracurricular activities of college life related to academic excellence? When does the student truly become a "cooperating consumer" in the experience of college? Where do college students seek values - and to what extent should values be self-directed? These are only some of the topics examined in Introduction to College Life: A Book of Readings. Compiled by teachers experienced in student orientation and guidance, this anthology will help the college freshman — and the high school student preparing for college — to assess his role in moving toward more selective interests, more cultivated tastes, and, consequently, more humane living. From divergent views on education such as those of Howard Mumford Jones and Harold Taylor, from the intellectual stimulus of such arresting writers as Edmund S. Morgan, Joseph Wood Krutch, and Norman Cousins, and from the comments of such wise and varied observers of the American college scene as James Thurber, Mark Van Doren, and McGeorge Bundy, the reader will be led to important questions, to the answers which he himself must draw out of his own knowledge and inquiry, and to the awareness of liberal education as a goal to be pursued both throughout college and throughout his career ahead.
