Amherst Life: Selections From the Undergraduate Publications at Amherst College (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Amherst Life: Selections From the Undergraduate Publications at Amherst College
The aim has been to make this distinct ively an Amherst book. In accordance with this aim, a department has been given to articles on the Amherst senate, whose rise was viewed with so much interest by the colleges of the country and whose fall was mourned by the many friends of Amherst. Here will be found a letter written by an alumnus to the Amherst Student, at the time when the senate ques tion was in special debate. In the same department are placed the undergraduate ideas on compulsory church and chapel. The lightly expressed sentiments of the student often convey in the directest man ner his more earnest and thoughtful opinions on such questions as these. A book on Amherst life would also be incom plete to alumni, present and future, without some memories of the faculty, for many of the student's best ideas come in connection with the professor himself, rather than the professor's teaching, where they of course belong.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful analysis of student life at Amherst College over the course of its history, gathering its source material from letters and articles within college publications from the years 1850 to 1890. From humorous accounts of student antics to serious discussions of academic concerns and college policy, the work shines a light on how students of the past negotiated their academic, personal, and social lives, and grappled with themes similar to those college students still wrestle with today: compulsory church and chapel, the frustrations of course requirements, and the development of effective student self-government systems. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of student life in America, and the ways in which American higher education has evolved over time.
