    PASSAGE 41

    COLLEGES

    The ultimate defense of college has always been that while it may not teach you
    anything vocationally useful, it will somehow make you a better person, able to do anything
    better, and those who make it through the process are initiated into the 'Fellowship of
    educated men and woman." In a study intended to probe what graduates seven years out of
    college thought their colleges should have done for them, the Carnegie Commission found
    that most alumni expected the "development of my abilities to think and express myself."
