As a result of the recent interest and progress in teacher-training in the United States, has come the evolution of the normal school into the teachers college. The development has naturally given rise to the question of what should be done in order that the lengthened course be filled in most profitably. Whether to give additional courses in educational theory and methods of teaching, or to include courses in the content of the various subjects which students plan to teach that is, whether to make the teachers college a normal school of a "larger growth," or to convert it into the equivalent of a liberal arts college, which would lay special stress on the subjects commonly grouped under the heading "Education" — these have been the points under consideration.

Every Campus A Refuge is a novel initiative whereby college campuses provide housing and support to refugees navigating the resettlement process in the United States. This article details the founding and development of the Every Campus A Refuge initiative, particularly as it has been implemented at Guilford College, a small liberal arts college in North Carolina. It also details how Guilford College faculty and students are engaging in a multifaceted research study to document the resettlement experiences of refugee families who participate in Every Campus A Refuge and to determine the efficacy of the program in providing a “soft er landing” for refugees. Overall, this article aims to provide a detailed account of Every Campus A Refuge so as to show how such a program may be implemented at other college campuses.

Policies And Programs

An Outstanding feature of the present educational situation in the United States is the almost exclusive control of educational policies and programs in the lower schools by what I may call the "educational generalists." These comprise the professors of education in our universities, colleges, and teacher-training institutions, together with administrators, supervisors, and research-workers in the publicschool service. The latter groups, in ever increasing numbers, represen in their attitude toward educational problems the traditions and ideals of the professors of education who are increasingly responsible for their training; hence the professor of education, in the last analysis, is the controlling agent. With the growth of his influence, the subject- matter specialists - the scholars in the differentiated fields of knowledge-have a constantly diminishing influence in determining where our educational system will go and how it will get there.

Unlike the liberal arts college, American graduate education started as and continues to be a secular affair. The last four decades, however, have produced growth in both the number and quality of Christian graduate programs. The question we asked is: do American Christian institutions engage in graduate education Christianly? To answer this question for Protestants, we undertook a theologically-guided discourse analysis of the 638 graduate programs at the 41 top ranked Protestant Christian universities in the United States. In particular, we looked at the marketing, objectives, and curriculum. We found only one-third of the graduate programs demonstrated even one piece of evidence demonstrating Christian distinctiveness.

This study explores the issues facing study abroad faculty directors at one undergraduate, liberal arts college in the United States; referred to in this article as North American College. This particular college was selected because it had been successful at recruiting its students for study abroad programs: 70% of the graduating class of 2005 studied abroad at some time during their years at NAC.

Nuanced Understanding

Loneliness among emerging adults in college has been primarily attributed to real and perceived socioemotional deficits. We posit that the cognitive underpinnings of loneliness are more complex. Participants were 520 students at a small liberal arts college in the Western United States ( M age = 19.97; 69.7% women; 54.6% White) and 551 students at a large university in west-central Poland ( M age = 21.72; 74.5% women; 100% White). In both samples, attributing loneliness to deficits in friendships, not feeling connected to peers, and concerns about one’s identity and future were uniquely associated with greater loneliness. Attributing loneliness to romantic deficits was also associated with greater loneliness, but this relation was stronger for men than women. Nationality moderated the relationship between attributing loneliness to social deficits and loneliness. The results underscore that school administrators in the United States and Europe who are concerned about student mental health would benefit from a more nuanced understanding of loneliness.

Trematode Parasites

As a professor of Parasitology and Invertebrate Biology at a small, private liberal arts college in the United States, where I study the transmission ecology of trematode parasites, to date my research experience studying helminths in the Neotropical region has been limited. Of course, many parasitologists in North America and elsewhere have relatively limited exposure to neotropical helminthology beyond textbooks and the primary literature; however, based on my own experience over the last year I believe there exists great opportunity for this to change. The potential for wonderful and productive collaborations continues to increase with greater ease of travel and levels of cooperation and information-sharing. So, while by definition my own experience in Peru is unique to me, I hope that it highlights some of the opportunities for research in helminthology in Peru and thus encourages additional collaborations in the future.

Ethical Response

Every year, hundreds of U.S. citizens patrol the Mexican border dressed in camouflage and armed with pistols and assault rifles. Unsanctioned by the government, these militias aim to stop the movement of narcotics into the United States. Recent interest in the anthropology of ethics has focused on how individuals cultivate themselves toward a notion of the ethical. In contrast, within the militias, ethical self-cultivation was absent. I argue the volunteers derived the power to be ethical from the control of the dominant moral assemblage and the construction of an immoral “Other” which provided them the power to define a moral landscape that limited the potential for ethical conflicts. In the article, I discuss two instances Border Watch and its volunteers dismissed disruptions to their moral certainty and confirmed to themselves that their actions were not only the “right” thing to do, but the only ethical response available.
