- W2338810335 abstract "To understand the present state of higher education, it is essential to understand its past. Andrew Delbanco’s recent publication, College: What it was, is, and should be, chronicles the origins of higher education in America up to its present and progressively controversial state. Regrettably, contemporary education is increasingly characterized by rising tuition costs and budgetary reductions that negatively impact the academic experience for instructors and students alike. Delbanco (2012), a literature professor and Chair of American Studies at Columbia University, explores the current commercialization of higher education and the resulting consequences on the undergraduate populations that universities purport to serve. The author details the fundamental aims of college, its beginnings in Puritan society, and the gradual progression from religious colleges to universities esteeming research pursuits and monetary status. The purpose of the book is to explore the fragmented system of higher education and offer viable solutions to addressing its weaknesses. For example, in the opening chapter, Delbanco argues the true goal of attaining a college education is not based on monetary incentives, but rather on attaining knowledge that benefits the individual “in both calculable and incalculable ways” (Delbanco, 2012, p. 28). By utilizing historical comparisons, the author creates a compelling narrative that describes how universities gradually lost sight of the strict, Puritan ideals that merged the attainment of knowledge with development of character and moral integrity." @default.
