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

It is suggested that the value of education is due to student life more than to college instruction. 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)
