This new study, written by a distinguished group of small college
faculty and consultants, provides a contemporary portrait of small
colleges--the educational advantages they offer, the problems they
face, and innovative solutions now being developed. The authors
discuss the benefits of education in a small college setting,
including a tightly knit community of learning, a larger proportion
of faculty dedicated to teaching, more personal interaction between
faculty and students, a greater degree of student participation in
all areas, and more emphasis on the moral/ethical implications of
education. The teaching-versus-research debate and its implications
for the small college are considered from the perspectives of
institutional visibility, enrollments, funding, and educational
values. The problems faced by small college faculty, such as
teaching in a small department and the strain of fulfilling
multiple and often conflicting roles, are thoroughly explored.
Chapters designed to help the college teacher on the job offer
suggestions on computer planning in the small college, coping with
teaching courses outside one's areas of expertise, fitting in
research despite heavy teaching loads, and teaching in areas such
as physical education, history, philosophy, and liberal arts in
general. A case study of a cooperative department established by
several colleges and a discussion of the problems of limited
library collections present practical information on new approaches
to enhancing an institution's effectiveness.
