| Abstract: | Small programs can make a big difference on college campuses. At Duke University, a few dedicated people, with the support
of college administrators, exploited the all-too-evident liabilities of curriculum fragmentation, political correctness, and
the lack of direction felt by undergraduate students to create intellectually valuable and stimulating new offerings. Russell
Nieli tells how the Gerst and Focus programs have influenced that university and others across America.
