The Undergraduate Essay sets before the student examples of writing
from which he can learn what to do and why. Part I of this book
consists of six complete essays of average undergraduate length.
All are specimens rather than models; these essays are
well-written, but they are not faultless. In Part II, the authors
define and discuss the principles of sound essay writing by
considering in turn the plan, paragraph structure, sentence
structure, diction, punctuation, and under the title "The
Conventions of Scholarship" the use of footnotes and the
preparation of a bibliography. Throughout, the student is urged to
study examples, and to think critically and constructively on the
problems raised. It follows that The Undergraduate Essay makes no
attempt to do the work either of the student of the instructor. It
is a text which invites, indeed demands, the co-operative effort of
both.
