In 1990 the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published a classic report on the loss of a meaningful basis for true community on college campuses—and in the nation. Now this expanded edition of Campus Life reintroduces educational leaders to the report's proposals while offering up-to-date analysis and recommendations for Christian campuses today.

"Andrew Carnegie's story begins with the thirteen-year-old boy's bewildering 1848 journey from Dumfermline to New York and his $2.00-a-week job in a bobbin factory in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. It concludes with the conversational details of his meetings with presidents and emperors. And in between, in a casual, familiar tone, Carnegie -- whose reputation as a 'benign capitalist' is ever controversial -- tells the reader about his 'Gospel of Wealth' and the building of his own empire." -- Back cover.
