Reviews for Old Main: Small Colleges in Twenty-First Century America
This is not a conventional study of small colleges... In the tradition of a true liberal arts scholar, he invites thoughtful dialogue, challenges academic tradition, and persuades readers to explore alternatives. Hancock Record 2005 Interesting reading.
