College prolongs infancy

About this book

In an era marked by rapid societal change and evolving educational paradigms, "College Prolongs Infancy" by Horace M. Kallen challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding higher education. This incisive essay critiques the tendency of colleges to foster dependency rather than independence, arguing that institutions often prioritize conformity over the cultivation of critical thought. Kallen's exploration of the "prolonged immaturity" of students resonates with contemporary discussions about educational reform and personal agency. Ideal for students, educators, and civic activists, this work invites readers to reconsider the role of higher education in shaping responsible, self-sufficient individuals. Engage with Kallen’s thought-provoking insights to better understand the implications of our educational choices today.
