TOM WOLFE ON AMERICAN COLLEGES.

TOM WOLFE ON AMERICAN COLLEGES. In the article I posted on today (see above), Tom Wolfe wrote about how Robert Noyce had had the good fortune to go to the college in 1948 with the best course in the world in solid-state electronics–in fact, at the time, the only course in the world on solid-state electronics. The great teacher (his name was Grant Gale) was a professor at Grinnell College, a college much admired in the Midwest, less well known in the rest of the country. The lesson is that there are great colleges and universities — and great teachers — all over the United States. A student just has to find the great teachers.
