Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Archive, Vol. 60: September 1946
The idea of the university is, at least in part, that of a community made up of young but allegedly rational-minded individuals who are bound by mutual interests and goals and who, aided and encouraged by their elders, have the right to the management of their affairs. In this regard, I am not referring to certain gargantuan institutions in our largest cities, which turn out erudition like so much canned asparagus. I speak of the true university commune, one of the sort such as Duke will or should approach sometime around the Mil lenium; where, as at a certain school, unnamed by me, some twelve miles distant, a campus election can be an important and highly interesting event; where self-government - supervised un officiously by the administration - can handle capably each phase of student affairs; and where such a co-operative enterprise makes for a final unity of purpose and mutual profit.
