The Good of This Place

Values and Challenges in College Education

About this book

This collection of essays and speeches by Richard H. Brodhead addresses issues of importance to institutes of higher learning and to those who participate in them. As the popular Dean of Yale College from 1993 to 2004, Brodhead was involved in every aspect of undergraduate education - curriculum, faculty appointments, and student life - and occupied a unique position from which to ponder the ways that college can prepare young people to lead fulfilling lives.
