[Review of the book College and Life

Abstract

Reviews the book, College and Life, Problems of Self Discovery and Self Direction by M. E. Bennett (1941). The author has revised the old edition of College and Life with new materials from recent investigations. The fundamental purpose of the book, however, has not been changed. It is "that of helping students to make the best use of their opportunities in college and of guiding them in the study and solution of problems of life planning and adjustment." The author approaches the problems met by the student in college in an objective fashion. He is concerned with giving the student suggestions and plans for developing the right habits, outlooks and attitudes by means of his own activities. The book is attractive in style of writing, in the treatment of the material, and format. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
