Foreword<br >Roy Heath, a clinical psychologist, picked a sample of<br >thirty-six entering freshmen in the Princeton class of 1954<br >whom he would see as their preceptor or academic coun-<br >selor, once a week throughout their years at the college.<br >He matched this group, chosen to represent various di-<br >chotomies within the University such as public vs. private<br >high school, Princeton family vs. non-Princeton family,<br >and scholarship aid vs. fa.mily backing, against an appar-<br >ently similar group who were to be the controls, not seen<br >by Dr. Heath, and followe&only at a distance. One story in<br >this book concerns some of the presumptive effects of<br >Dr. Heath s plainly benign intervention in the lives of<br >the experimental group. The latter did better by Prince-<br >ton definition in almost every way: they won both more<br >academic and more non-academic honors, including class<br >office, debating, running<br >on.1 So far, the Princeton<br >the campus radio station and so<br >experiment" resembles ever so<br >many others which benefit (or, some would say, suffer)<br >1. Dr. Heath is inclined to think that students who run the student gov-<br >ernment and edit the daily paper exploit themselves to the University s<br >benefit and their own developmental disadvantage. I would share this<br >judgment in many instances. But as a sporadic reader of the Daily Prince-<br >tonian, I am not sure it is a poorer curriculum for some of its more enter-<br >prising editors than what they might otherwise be finding in or out of<br >their course work: that depends on many other things. I do agree with<br >Dr. Heath and many of his advisees that the writing of a senior honors<br >thesis is the single most educative experience an undergraduate can have,<br >and that the sense of accomplishment that results from a well-completed<br >task can carry over into many other aspects of life and work.<br >FOREWORD<br ><br >
