A rallying cry on behalf of a distinctly American institution of
higher learning -- the small liberal arts college -- America Goes
to College combines broad-based scholarship with personal narrative
and reflection. In a highly entertaining manner, John E. Seery
showcases the precarious successes of a well-rounded liberal arts
college education, while at the same time signaling some of the
dangers that loom on the horizon. Seery contends that the liberal
arts are best pursued within the face-to-face interactive setting,
characteristic of the small college classroom, as opposed to the
large university lecture hall. Moreover and more provocatively, he
identifies political theorists as the proper custodians and
practitioners of the liberal arts tradition as it unfolds today. It
is the unfettered freedom of the small liberal arts college, where
vision and practice can actually coincide, that makes it the
embodiment of the advantages of the American higher education
system -- a national treasure deserving of support.
