In "The Awakening College", Clarence Cook Little offers a provocative and insightful examination of the American higher education system during a period of significant social change. Drawing from his extensive experience as a university administrator and scientist, Little addresses the fundamental challenges facing colleges and universities in the early twentieth century. The work delves into critical issues such as the effectiveness of admissions processes, the limitations of traditional curricula, and the evolving nature of student life and campus morals.

Little advocates for a more holistic and student-centered approach to education, one that prioritizes individual development over rigid institutional structures. He explores the complexities of co-education, the role of athletics in academic life, and the necessity of fostering intellectual curiosity and social responsibility. This volume serves as both a historical document and a timeless reflection on the purpose of higher learning. "The Awakening College" remains a valuable resource for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the philosophical foundations of the modern university. Little's forward-thinking perspectives on academic reform and student welfare continue to resonate with contemporary debates regarding the mission of higher education.

New Accessibility in Higher Education: Disrupting the System for an Inclusive Future
The commitment to accessibility serves as a catalyst for developing and implementing practices that prevent barriers and can better allow for inclusive participation with the world around us. Unfortunately, the importance of accessibility does not always equate with commitment and compliance. While there has been a slow-moving effort to increase accessibility, the global pandemic and several key social justice movements have spotlighted inaccessible content and systems. <p/><em>The New Accessibility in Higher Education</em> guides the reader through the various areas of higher education, detailing how barriers to access were identified and how accessibility was reimagined and improved through the perspectives of faculty, administrators, and students. The book considers the multidimensionality of accessibility and how postsecondary scholars and practitioners must reconsider how accessibility in postsecondary education is understood and achieved. It argues that higher education can no longer ignore issues of accessibility nor revert to previous, antiquated, and discriminatory policies that do not support the success of disabled students. The book not only spotlights what occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and other recent key events but, instead, but also provides a roadmap for the continued integration of more accessible strategies within modern higher education.
