Book Overview

""College and the Man: An Address to American Youth"" is a book written by David Starr Jordan, an American educator and naturalist. The book is a collection of lectures that Jordan gave to college students during the early 20th century. In the book, Jordan discusses the importance of education, particularly higher education, for young men in America.
