As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. In arguing for what a true college education should be, the author shows why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.
Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. --from publisher description.

其實我覺得Delbanco寫的不如Menand好,隻要是文筆不夠犀利、太溫和瞭,多數時候隻是在陳述曆史和事實罷瞭,但他們兩個人對於現今教育所存在的問題看得也著實透徹啊,精英教育與大眾普及的矛盾一直存在啊,無法擺脫的陰影。這本書的話以後還是要再讀一下的. Chris
