A Study of Student Life: The Appraisal of Student Traditions as a Field of Research.
Cowley, W. H.; Waller, Willard
Journal of Higher Education, v50 n4 p376-88 Jul-Aug 1979

Samplings of studies of college life are delineated for the validity of student traditions as a field of research, and the aid of sociologists and anthropologists is solicited. (Article originally published in 1935.) (AF)
