As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. In arguing for what a true college education should be, the author shows why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.
Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. --from publisher description.

其实我觉得Delbanco写的不如Menand好,只要是文笔不够犀利、太温和了,多数时候只是在陈述历史和事实罢了,但他们两个人对于现今教育所存在的问题看得也着实透彻啊,精英教育与大众普及的矛盾一直存在啊,无法摆脱的阴影。这本书的话以后还是要再读一下的. Chris
