The Invisible Student
Benezet, Louis T.
College and University, v94 n1 p10-16 Feb 2019
This article discusses the conflict that arises between rising enrollments and meaningful college learning. The author highlights data on students' response to the college environment, and offers a number of innovative ideas for fostering intellectual growth among a more diverse student body. These include: early declaration of major; rethinking the ritual of matriculation; engaging freshmen study; and peer groups. ["The Invisible Student," by Louis T. Benezet (1915-2002), first appeared in the Summer 1962 edition of College and University (Volume 37, Number 4). With the exception of a few minor edits, the text is in its original form.]
