Willimon and Thomas H. Naylor here propose bold changes in the nation's undergraduate educational system.

They then evaluate the underlying causes -- the sense of meaninglessness in student life and the absence of community. Finally, they build a provocative four-tier strategy for change -- restructuring the academy, teachers who actually teach, curriculum reform, and the creation of learning communities.…
