Campbell ends summer series book reviews
With a background of training and experience in university work, Dr. William G. Campbell, assistant professor of education, climaxed the summer series of book interpretations with an analysis of Arnold
S.	Nash's “The University and the Modern World’’ Wednesday.
“The early part of the book deals with the rise of the university and its tendency to become and remain j unrelated to the practical affairs of life,” stated Dr. J. Randolph Sasnett, executive secretary of religious activities.
The author shows that the university has always drawn from the upper classes, a fact which is still ! valid. Dr. Campbell feels that as a result of the university’s failing to come to grips with life, the development in Europe of nazism and fascism on one hand and communism on the other, has resulted in the destruction of the university both in Russia and Germany, though Russia shows evidences that it is finding its real place again.
Dr. Campbell felt the first of the book displayed thorough documentation and research but that in criticizing the modern university the author chose dramatic illustrations from extreme cases and that the author’s plea for religion in the modern college resulted in anti-climax since he resorted to “special pleading1’ in language on his own biases.
