Excellent Sheep

Turning our attention to higher education, Christopher Benfey reviews William Deresiewicz's new book (an expansion of his famous essay in The American Scholar, which you can read here: http://theamericanscholar.org/the-disadvantages-of-an-elite-education/#.VDaoUFdNV2A). I don't know if you will be able to read Benfey's review without a subscription, but here's the link: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2014/oct/23/how-bad-are-colleges/?page=1. Last I checked, we still carry the New York Review of Books (not to be confused with the New York Times book review) in hard copy in the library.
