Excerpt from Student Life and Customs
This volume aims to be a general introduction to the subject of student life, and as such presents only the main outlines. The lack of an extensive monographic literature treating critically of student societies in the different colleges and universities, prevents, for the present, any more pretentious and exhaustive work. If the present study shall stimulate others to fill the seri ous gap which exists in the literature Of the subject, it will have accomplished one of its main purposes. It is hoped that the facts herein collected will be of serv ice to that group Of pedagogical thinkers, which since the days Of Froebel has made spontaneity the touch stone of educational progress.
