As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the narrow aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. Download College: What it Was, Is, and Should Be from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. The traditional four-year college experience--an exploratory time for students to discover their passions and test ideas and values with the help of teachers and peers--is in danger of becoming a thing of the past.

In arguing for what a true college education should be, he demonstrates why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.
