The College Student and His Problems was written in response to the great changes, uncertainties, opportunities, and challenges of higher education in the United States in the early twentieth century. For over one hundred years, traditional college curricula had been dominated by a classical education based on the great works of literature, history, and philosophy of ancient Greece and Rome, with a heavy emphasis on Latin and Greek language study. The author, James Hulme Canfield, a distinguished educator and former university president, argues that while a classical education is still valuable, it is no longer sufficient to prepare students for the demands of the modern world. He advocates for a broader and more flexible curriculum that includes scientific, technical, and professional training, as well as opportunities for students to explore their own interests and develop their own unique talents. Canfield's vision of higher education is one that is focused on the individual student and their needs, rather than on the preservation of tradition. He believes that the purpose of college is to help students develop their intellectual and moral capacities to the fullest, so that they can lead successful and fulfilling lives in a rapidly changing world. The College Student and His Problems is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of higher education in the United States, as well as for students, parents, and educators who are looking for guidance on the best ways to prepare for and succeed in college.
