Hyde, William DeWitt. College man and the college woman. **$1.50. Houghton.
“A book especially for “people” who are concerned, either as parents or teachers or simply as good citizens, with college students. It provokes sympathy with the undergraduate’s point of view; it explains persuasively what it is in college life that makes it worth while; it subjects the college to the tests that the man of plain mind applies without sophistry, and shows how the college does, or ought to, meet those tests; it puts into intelligible language the educational ideals of the enlightened college teacher and administrator; and it states effectively what the public attitude toward a college in a democracy should be.” (Outlook.)
“At every point it is a book that will stimulate reflection at many points, one that will provoke debate.”
