"There Is No Way without a Because": Revitalization of Purpose at Three Liberal Arts Colleges.
Hartley, Matthew
Review of Higher Education, v27 n1 p75-102 Fall 2003
Describes the renewal of mission at three liberal arts colleges. Based on interviews with 77 participants and the review of more than 2,000 pages of institutional documents, explores how groups of individuals responded to an institutional crisis by seeking a more satisfying institutional life. Draws parallels between these efforts at mission-centered change and socio-cultural movement theory. (Author/EV)
