...Benjamin A. Gilman is a young, popular freshman congressman from New York's half rural, half suburban, and very conservative 26th district.

To survey the future changes in campus life, the Council of Student Personnel Associations in Higher Education commissioned a study by University of Georgia Education Professor D. Parker Young. Some of Young's observations on the social implications of adulthood...
