...Miss. His college roommate, Walter Reed, recalls that "if there was a test and somebody had made a 98, we knew it had to be Rod." Paige graduated in 1955 and took a series of college coaching jobs.

"But when a student cries out, there should be a set of mechanisms whereby the right people learn about it." Others point out that parents must play a role too--by checking out a college's psychological services in advance and by not putting too much pressure on kids. Says Ed Hu, college counselor at Harvard-Westlake, a Los Angeles prep school: "They're just pushing their...
