University in Transition

by Doak S. Campbell
Hardcover (June 1964)
University Press of Florida; ISBN: 0813004780

今天去圖書館繳罰款後,晃到樓上看到這一本老舊的書。其實我本來是要找一本叫做University In Transformation 的,結果可能記憶出了問題,把 transformation 搞成transition. 反正,都講的通嘛。=D 因『禍』得福,這本書是某位老兄於 60 年代在 Princeton University(US) 的某次講座演講稿合輯,對象是大學的教職員還有資深教授,當然還會有一些研究所學生與大學部的聽眾。

書裡所提到的狀況,許多正是台灣高等院校目前所面臨的關鍵性問題。比如說教育機構的合併、教育標的與社會主流價值之矛盾衝突,或是學生人數短期內暴漲、學院過度擴併,大量學院新成立等等。沒看完,不過,國內大學即將面臨的生態轉變,會不會跟書中最後預測的美國各區域大學發展瓶頸,不謀而合?
