College and the Man: An Address to American Youth

By David Starr Jordan

Book Overview

""College And The Man: An Address To American Youth"" is a book written by David Starr Jordan, an American educator and ichthyologist. In this book, Jordan provides a compelling argument for the importance of higher education for young men in America. He argues that college not only provides practical skills and knowledge, but also helps to shape a person's character and values. Jordan emphasizes the need for young men to develop a sense of responsibility and purpose, and he believes that college is the perfect place to do so. Throughout the book, Jordan draws on his own experiences as a student and educator, as well as on the experiences of other successful men, to support his argument. He also addresses some of the common objections to college, such as the cost and the perceived irrelevance of certain subjects, and offers practical advice for overcoming these obstacles. Overall, ""College And The Man"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages young men to pursue higher education and to strive for personal growth and success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
