Summary:"The purpose of this book is to define the mores, their content and scope, through a development of the above premises. In this development, it proposes also to show how the mores arise, function, and, if necessary, can be changed in a college community. In addition, it aims to point out the importance of this rather intangible, yet dynamic and living, phase of student life; to point out certain differences in student mores throughout American colleges and the factors which underlie these differences; to draw implications for educators and personnel workers as to ways in which the mores can be constructively used for the social control of student life; and to present plans and techniques for a better understanding of their functioning on the campus. Finally, it aims to describe the present-day impacts on the campus and to point out the need for a reassessment and re-evaluation of the mores to meet current conditions"--Foreword.
