lling shoes and driving taxis；College students get in the way of each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation(推荐)in the competition for admission to graduate school．Others find no interest in their studies，and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators(教导主任)．

　　Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that is a condemnation(谴责)of the students as a whole，and does not explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right．We've been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot take in an army of untrained eighteen year old．But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty year old，either．

　　Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school．We may have been looking at all those surveys(调查)upside down，it seems，and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences．Perhaps college does not make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy(异端邪说)to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better．But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up．
