　　The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All highschool graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, becausecollege will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be moreresponsible citizens than those who don’t go.

　　But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to halfour high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming morenumerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; collegestudents interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendationin the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation intheir studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.

　　Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled andthey are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, anddoesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they arepartly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economycan’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates arelearning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.

　　Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that collegemay not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion ofhigh school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, itseems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps collegedoesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it isjust the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning peopleare merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all thosesuccessful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college ornot. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schoolingis good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.
