Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condizione: Very Good-. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Stated First Edition. Antioch College is known for its unique Work-Study approach to higher education. Located in Yellow Springs, Ohio, it is the alma mater of many distinguished graduated, including Rod Sterling and Coretta Scott King. Although the college was briefly closed, its alumni rallied to re-open the school in order to keep its approach alive. From the dust jacket blurb: "This book is the record of one of the outstanding contemporary experiments in college education. . . . Through a careful and systematic account of the whole Antioch plan, how it has evolved in the twenty-five years since it was first put into effect in 1921, the authors detail the policy and practice which have brought a fresh vitality to the pattern of college life and learning." There are seven appendices provided details of and supporting data for Antioch's educational approach. A business card of Dr. Henderson is laid into the book. Size: 8"-9" - Octavo (8vo). 280 pages. Item Type: Book. The text block is tight and unmarked, though a bit tanned from age. An example of a student's "culmulative record card" on heavier stock is bound in as Appendix B (facing p. 246). Bound in dark blue cloth over boards with title in gilt on the spine. The Harper & Row logo is embossed in the lower right corner of the front cover. There are a couple of elongated white spots on the front cover and some dulling a white specks at the foot of the spine from exposure to water (matching a tide mark on the inside of the dust jacket). There is some light speckling on the end papers where they were not covered by the folds of the dust jacket. The dust jacket is tattered alnog the top edge, especially at the head of the spine and at the top of the rear panel. There is some loss at the foot of the spine, as well, and a 1/4" tear at the top of the rear fold. The book was exposed to some moisture, resulting in a 4"x2" tide mark on the inside of the jacket at the foot of the spine, extending onto the front panel, though it can only be seen at the lower right corner of the rear panel. The jacket is now protected in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. The top page edges are slightly gray from exposure. The side and bottom page edges are clean. Quantity Available: 1.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. 202pp., xii. Stated: "First Edition". Foreword by Ralph W. Tyler. CHAPTERS: The Function of Liberal Education; The Colleges Need a Vitalizing Purpose; The Social Interest in Liberal Education; The Aim of the Student; Knowing and Advising the Student; Intellectual Competence; The Search for Higher Values; Critical Inquiry; Making Education Dynamic; Experience as a Factor in Education; The Campus, A Laboratory in Living; In the World and Above It; The Instructor as Educator; The Student Before and After; The Program as a Whole--Recapitulation; Education for What? Index, pp. 197-202. FROM the "Recapitulation" Chapter and the final Chapter: "[The "basic assumptions" of the "Program as a Whole" are these]: "that a more perfect society than the present one can be attained; that its characteristics are not fully disclosed in some predetermined pattern, but must be discovered experimentally; that man is able to plan ahead at successive steps in helping determine what human progress shall be; and that the direction lies in searching for the greatest possible development of the potentialities of the individual personality consistent with securing the maximum benefits to be derived from group association and endeavor. / Each individual is a distinct personality, with interests and talents peculiar to himself. . . There should be an ethical aim in education. This is because it is the means of directing men's intelligence toward larger objectives than those individual men might hit on in a primitive society--objectives which means greater accomplishment for the group and thus have profound bearings upon men's lives. The effects of educating German youth in the deliberately framed doctrines of Nazi ideology furnish us with an immediate example of the importance of defining the ethical aims. . .Some of these aims have been narrowly conceived, whereas others are broad in their ethical concepts. Examples of narrowness in conception are: the Spartan emphasis on military proficiency; medieval emphasis on courtliness; later humanistic emphasis on Latin style; American colonial emphasis on theology; Prussian emphasis on regimentation and obedience; French emphasis on intellectualism; English emphasis on Greek and Latin and sports; and current [1944] German emphasis on racism . . .But a primary aim of the liberal college must always be that of developing the power to think--which in itself assumes the proper function of knowledge, the use of scientific method, and learning to apply thinking to the practical problems of life. . .The liberal arts college has to be something more than a repository of knowledge, presenting all sides of every problem, and remaining neutral in all controversies. This attitude is all too common among college faculties. . . .The method or pattern is the democratic way of life. Democracy as a principle and applied realistically, meets the tests of equity, flexibility, and freedom, in serving the purposes of society and meeting the needs of the individual . . . It offers the best chance for the individual to develop fully, consistent with group development. Democracy is essentially a method of harmonizing individual and group conflicts . . . ."
