Excerpt from College Study College Life
Is College Education Profitable?
In the autumn of every year an enthusiastic army of young men and young women enter American colleges. Averaging nineteen years of age, graduates of public high schools and private academies, they are physically and mentally on the threshold of manhood and womanhood. With respect to intelligence, capability and promise of success they are among the best youth of the country - select candidates for "higher education."
They enter an institution of dignified lineage and lengthy history, an organization of great and growing complexity, a place of much learning, diversified study, and highly specialized social arrangements. Breathing its peculiar intellectual and social atmosphere they pass through the freshman year, becoming sophomores, juniors, seniors, and at last graduates, proud of their Alma Mater. Eventually they go forth into society with the stamp of the college upon them; to a greater or less extent they are personifications of its character. In some measure their success or failure is determined by their college course. From the happenings, the tasks, the things done or not done during these four years results their worthfulness or worthlessness in society.
