About the Book

Deep Springs College is the most unusual college in America. Arguably, it is also the best. It is located in such a remote place in the high desert in eastern California that its mailing address is in Nevada and the nearest gas pump is thirty miles away over a mountain pass. There are up to twenty-six students who hire and fire the faculty, design the curriculum, select the incoming students, do all of the work on the college's organic farm and ranch and generally maintain the school. Tuition is free. Deep Springs has been in existence since 1917. Academically, Deep Springs is virtually unrivaled. The students at this two-year, all-male school are invited to apply from among the top two percent of College Board score achievers, though others may also apply. In a recent poll, Deep Springs College ranked third academically, behind only Princeton and Yale. After discovering Deep Springs College quite by chance, photographer Michael A. Smith went back to Deep Springs to teach for a term. While in residence he created a superb photographic portrait of the college through portraits of the students. Smith's photographs impart a deeply personal vision and capture the essence of America's most remarkable educational institution. To accompany their portraits, the students contributed autobiographical notes as well as writings about their experiences at the school. In his essay about the history, philosophy and life of the college, L. Jackson Newell, President of Deep Springs College, provides important information that rounds out the picture of the school and sets the photographs in context. In the Afterword, noted author and former Deep Springs student, William T. Vollmann, recounts some of hismemorable experiences at the college and recognizes how they formed a touchstone for living. With this book, the story of this amazing college is revealed to a wide public for the first time.

Review :
""The Students of Deep Springs College is an artistic gem and a superb introduction to one of America's most interesting and unusual academic institutions. This remarkable and fascinating book is an important contribution to our understanding of higher education."
