Kelly DeLong records the lives of four freshman students at a historically black college and university, and I know of no other scholar who has shown interest in the subject and covered it with such grace and compassion. Although he documents their stresses and strains, unpredictable and fun moments, DeLong is also instructive: freshman students should understand the intellectual<p> demands of college, learn from each other, and remain focused. <p> James A. Hefner, former president of Tennessee State University and Jackson State University
