Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Colleges in War Time and After: A Contemporary Account of the Effect of the War Upon Higher Education in America
It is apparent to all that the higher educational system of the United States has sufiered a war change. Following, as it has, immediately upon the reconstruo tion of educational ideals and standards which marked the past two decades, this war change has added the last touches to an academic condition so new to us as still to seem largely unfamiliar. Before our entrance into the world war we already realized the presence of a swift current of innovation, carrying collegiate education into uncharted seas of activity. Since April, 1917, this current has become a rushing torrent, sweeping before it all the old traditional land marks from shores hitherto untouched by change. The curriculum, the semester division, the customs of student life, whole departments of learning - all these have been torn from their moorings and ?oated Off into a remoteness from which, in their old form, they may never return.
