Now that you have arrived at college campus , someone is bound to ask you why you came. The question is more than academic, since you are going to spend hard and occasionally anxious hours and years at hard labor before receive a degree. You have some inkling of what college expects of you. What do you expects of college campus? Is your attendance a matter of course, or have you some fairly definite aims? Is there any point in attempting to answer these question?
Some of your answers are not hard to guess. You may have come to college because your family expected you to, or because it is "done" in your social circle. You may have a suspicion- largely correct- that a college education will help you make more money. Or, if you are a woman, you may have heard that husbands are sometimes encountered on campuses. Surely you expect to have some good times in the next four years, and you may even expect to learn something that will prepare you for a better and happier life. That last reason, of course, is the only one that is finally valid. But if it is knowledge you are really after, what kind of knowledge, and how much?
