Waist-High Universities

In his interesting book The Waist-High Culture, Mr. Thomas Griffith describes his student days, in the thirties, at the University of Washington. Then and now, I think, more life of the mind is tolerated at Washington than at a good many state universities and colleges I might name; so Mr. Griffith’s criticisms ought not to be considered as directed peculiarly at his alma mater.
