HIGHER EDUCATION
IN AMERICA

Edited by RAYMOND A. KENT, President of the University of
Louisville. With an Introduction by LOTUS D. COFFMAN, Presi-
dent of the University of Minnesota

‘Higher Education in America” reflects the research and
the thinking of men in representative positions in the college
world in all parts of the country. It brings together in one
unit a discussion of the objective features of curricula, or-
ganization, and administration. Its great merit lies in its con-
cern with fact rather than with theory and opinion. Each
article is followed by references to further reading in books,
magazines, or special publications.

In an interesting introductory statement, President Coffman
of Minnesota sums up the present interest in higher educa-
tion: “The growth in college registration has produced a
number of new problems and has accentuated a number of
old ones to the point of creating a situation tantamount to a
crisis in higher education. Public opinion has been focused
upon college and university education as never before. The
public has been, and still is, insisting upon a fair return for
the money it invests in higher education, and it has been rais-
ing questions as to the desirability of attempting to provide
college training for all those who are applying, and as to its

ability to pay for it or for a considerable share of it.
