Abstract:
In the past few decades our American civilization has undergone development so rapid and so complex that the various institutions of that civilization have been hard pressed to solve the many problems that have resulted. The vast numbers, the diversity and the urgency of the problems have been felt particularly by American educational institutions, the purpose of which is to prepare American youth for participation in a highly complex, swiftly moving social heredity. Not the least of these in the importance and difficulty of its problems is the American college.
