Awakening College

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 This volume serves as both a historical document and a timeless reflection on the purpose of higher learning.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.
