Looking Back

Adelson, Joseph

Daedalus, 103, 4, 54-57, F 74

A review of writing on the immediate past of the university reveals several errors: envisioning the future as an extension of the present; seeing university students as homogenous group representative of American life; confusing the scene of action, the university, with the agents; omitting the role of nonrationality; and lacking objectivity.
