Excerpt from Middlebury College Bulletin, Vol. 21: Nineteenth Summer Session, 1927; The French School, the Spanish School, 1927 The reorganization of the Language Schools, based upon an entirely new plan of the exclusive use of the language in and out of classroom, met with immediate success. Rapid Growth Since then the growth of both the French and the Spanish Schools has been rapid and steady and has been met with an increasing evidence of interest on the part of American educators and teachers. The Sum mer Session of 1926 brought to these two Schools teach ers and students from thirty-three different states in cluding California and other Pacific Coast states. In this student body were representatives of nearly seventy of the leading colleges and universities, besides a score of normal schools and a few foreign institutions. About three-fourths of the students in the Romance Language Schools held baccalaureate degrees, and about twenty held advanced degrees, including the Ph. D. Many of the Summer Session students become candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award in Nonfiction • A New York Times Notable Book • Bloomberg Best Book of 2018 “Their distinctive contribution to the higher-education debate is to meet safetyism on its own, psychological turf . . . Lukianoff and Haidt tell us that safetyism undermines the freedom of inquiry and speech that are indispensable to universities.” —Jonathan Marks, Commentary “The remedies the book outlines should be considered on college campuses, among parents of current and future students, and by anyone longing for a more sane society.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising—on campus as well as nationally. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures. Embracing these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—interferes with young people’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to promote the spread of these untruths. They explore changes in childhood such as the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised, child-directed play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. They examine changes on campus, including the corporatization of universities and the emergence of new ideas about identity and justice. They situate the conflicts on campus within the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization and dysfunction. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

The idea of the gap year has taken hold in America. Since its development in Britain nearly fifty years ago, taking time off between secondary school and college has allowed students the opportunity to travel, develop crucial life skills, and grow up, all while doing volunteer work in much-needed parts of the developing world.
