The Superior Student in American Higher Education (Book Review) 1966-08-31 2 .pdf application/pdf 1464 78 60 The volume is organized to show a con- cern £rst with some of the people who use public libraries as well as those who do not use them; then with libraries them- selves; and £nally with trends in urban politics, government, and £seal policies affecting libraries. This, rather than merely the superior student is the focus of this volume which, briefly, traces the history of the honors movement in America; spells out some of the charac- teristics and needs of the superior student (and inadvertently exposes the precious- ness of some of them) that lead to the de- velopment of honors programs; gives case studies of honors work in such differing academic milieus as liberal arts colleges, private and state universities, and secondary schools; and treats of the differing objectives and methods of departmental and college honors. cache/crl-11896.pdf txt/crl-11896.txt
