Sinopsis

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.

Excerpt from Student Life and Customs

A book on Student Life in Universities and Colleges has to deal chiefly with the way and manner in which students react against the regular work of the institution and its rules and regulations in order to preserve their individuality.

The discipline of the institution, both as to the learning which it teaches and as to the regulations it imposes, tends to efface the independence of the student and to make him in some sense a mere automaton. But, on the other hand, the learning taught at the university, although it is remote from the present life of the student, is of such a character as to give him confidence in himself by enlarging his survey of the world in which he lives. In this aspect the student finds his individuality stimulated and developed. He feels that he is enlightened as compared with the prosaic ordinary citizen, or as compared with his former self.

Goaded by the contradiction between his growing individuality and his sense of the slight done to his likes and preferences by the requirements of the school, the student reacts against the established order in which he finds himself, and endeavours to recover his internal equilibrium by proving his personal ability to destroy the social might that manifests itself in his community, and more especially in the school of which he is a member.

Education involves two wills: an individual will and an institutional will.
