Excerpt from Letters From a Father, to His Daughter Entering CollegeQuestion about your going to college. Your mother's life at Vas sar had given her a special eagerness to send her daughter to that or some other good college. But now, that the college is decided upon, I can easily see that there were three, among other reasons, which have led us to make our choice. One reason is that the college is not too big. A very big college for boys is ...

Excerpt from The College Woman In the last twenty-five years many questions as to the college education of young women have been answered. The question whether women want a college education is no longer asked. In the year 1869 about eight thousand women were enrolled as students in the preparatory departments of American colleges and in the colleges themselves. At present there are more than twenty thousand enrolled as regular college stude...

Excerpt from Education in the Far East The critical problem of Japan is, in a word, to continue to keep its life simple, as it takes its place with the other great political powers of the world. Simplicity of life is a state of mind quite as much as a condition of environ ment. But it is concerned with environment as well as with the mental state. The simple life is the interpretation of life in terms of the spirit, and not of the ¿esh or of ...

Excerpt from A History of Education in the United States Since the Civil War I propose to write a history of education in the American democracy for the forty years and more which have passed since the close of the Civil War. Education in a democracy is more important than education in either a theocracy or a political monarchy. In a government controlled by a church, the forces which the priest represents may be sufficient to preserve good ...

Excerpt from College Administration Education in the United States is not so much disorganized as it is unorganized. It is not so much unorganized as it is the subject of cross and various organizations. It is in certain relations overorganized. The units of organization are many, diverse, and often cover identical conditions. The national unit is lacking, unless one should desire to call the Bureau of Education such a unit. Yet the designati...

Excerpt from The Training of Men, for the World's Future Looking backward is the normal scholastic attitude of the university. This attitude is natural and almost necessary.

Excerpt from The American Colleges and Universities in the Great War, 1914-1919: A History The lack of adequate interpretation of the part which the American colleges, both Northern and Southern, played in the Civil War has long seemed to me a public and an academic misfortune. The possibility of filling this lack lessens with each passing year. The share which the American college and university had in the World's War was at least as signifi...

Excerpt from The American College, in American LifeNo book of a kind such as this can make any pretence of being complete. This volume in cludes the consideration of only a few of the more vital questions. Other questions, quite as vital possibly, I hope to be able to discuss in other volumes. For the American college, like American life or the life of any progressive peo ple, is full of infinite suggestions appealing to thought or to action.A...

Excerpt from The Choice of a College, for a Boy Parents too often choose a college for a son without special thought or knowledge. To many people a col lege is a college, as a spade is a spade. But the slightest re¿ection, or the most superficial knowledge, is sufficient to produce the conviction that colleges differ as funda mentally as any other products of human skill. Certain institutions that bear the name of college advance the student ...

Excerpt from Letters From a Father to His Son Entering CollegeParts of the letters that make up this little book were read to my own college boys at the opening of a college year. They represent somewhat, but of course only a bit, of what I believe many a father would like to say to his own son, - as I to mine, - when he is entering the most important year of his college life the Freshman. Those who first heard them, even though obliged to hea...
