Report on how the college influences student character, resulting from an on-the-spot study of twenty campuses in seventeen states throughout the country.
Originally published in 1929, this book explores the impact of college education on the character and values of students. The author argues that colleges have a responsibility to promote moral and ethical development, in addition to academic achievement. Eddy provides a detailed analysis of the factors that contribute to the development of character, both inside and outside the classroom. The book is a valuable historical record of the role of higher education in shaping the values and attitudes of young people, and remains relevant to debates about the purpose of college education today.

In this landmark work, Kenneth Feldman and Theodore Newcomb review and synthesize the findings of more than 1,500 studies conducted over four decades on the subject. Writing in 1991, Ernest Pascarella and Patrick Terenzini maintained that The Impact of College on Students not only provided the first comprehensive conceptual map of generally uncharted terrain, but also generated a number of major hypotheses about how college influences students. They also noted that Feldman and Newcombe helped to stimulate a torrent of studies on the characteristics of collegiate institutions and how students change and benefit during and after their college years from college attendance. The Impact of College on Students is now a standard text in graduate courses as well as a standard and frequently cited reference for scholars, students, and administrators of higher education. Much of what we understand about the developmental influence of college is based on this work.
