Earlham College
Earlham College, opened in 1847, is the second oldest Quaker college in the world. From a school intended for the "guarded religious education of the children of Friends," it has evolved to become an international institution of higher education, with faculty and students from around the world. From a campus where Old Earlham Hall housed everything--dormitories, classrooms, administrative offices, kitchen, library, and dining hall--Earlham now includes over 20 buildings dating back to 1861. Its alumni include a Nobel laureate--Wendell M. Stanley, class of 1926--and two Pulitzer Prize winners--Edwin Way Teale, class of 1922, and Manning Marable, class of 1971. Earlhamites have been politicians, authors, activists, and above all teachers and scientists. A wealth of archival photographs illustrate Earlham's evolution, highlighting leaders, faculty, student life, off-campus programs, athletics, alumni, and visitors to campus who have ranged from Martin Luther King Jr. to George Wallace.
The College Buzz Book
Many guides claim to offer an insider view of top undergraduate programs, but no publisher understands insider information like Vault, and none of these guides provides the rich detail that Vault's new guide does. Vault publishes the entire surveys of current students and alumni at more than 300 top undergraduate institutions. Each 2- to 3-page entry is composed almost entirely of insider comments from students and alumni. Through these narratives Vault provides applicants with detailed, balanced perspectives.

Colleges that Change Lives
The distinctive group of forty colleges profiled here is a well-kept secret in a status industry. They outdo the Ivies and research universities in producing winners. And they work their magic on the B and C students as well as on the A students. Loren Pope, director of the College Placement Bureau, provides essential information on schools that he has chosen for their proven ability to develop potential, values, initiative, and risk-taking in a wide range of students. Inside you'll find evaluations of each school's program and personality to help you decide if it's a community that's right for you; interviews with students that offer an insider's perspective on each college; professors' and deans' viewpoints on their school, their students, and their mission; and information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience. Loren Pope encourages you to be a hard-nosed consumer when visiting a college, advises how to evaluate a school in terms of your own needs and strengths, and shows how the college experience can enrich the rest of your life.
The Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Students' Guide to Colleges, Universities, and Graduate Schools
"Studies estimate that one in six college students is gay, lesbian, or bisexual. The presence, role, and acceptance of these students has received much attention in recent years. Yet there exists no resource by which they can judge the climate at the nation's schools. The first book to evaluate the college and university experiences of gay, lesbian, and bisexual students, this volume gives voice to the largest under-recognized minority on the nation's campuses."--Publisher's description.
From Concentration Camp to Campus
In the aftermath of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the systematic exile and incarceration of thousands of Japanese Americans, the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council was born. Created to facilitate the movement of Japanese American college students from concentration camps to colleges away from the West Coast, this privately organized and funded agency helped more than 4,000 incarcerated students pursue higher education at more than 600 schools during WWII. Austin argues that the resettled students transformed the attempts at assimilation to create their own meanings and suit their own purposes, and succeeded in reintegrating themselves into the wider American society without sacrificing their connections to community and their Japanese cultural heritage.
