Burns outlines the cluster college system the University of the Pacific uses. According to Burns, the idea is to try to bring unity, identity, and meaning to higher education. He says the system is built around the quadrangle idea, where students must live in the dorms and dine in the dining halls and professors are invited to fraternize in the dorms and dining halls. Mentioning the University's tutorial plan, the student meets with a tutor/adviser weekly. Burns says two unique aspects of the college is there are no athletics outside of intramural program and no fraternities and sororities. Saying the "great sin" of higher education is the splitting of the curriculum, Burns argues the goal of the University is to sharpen the students' minds in preparation for graduate school. He then discusses students from Latin America and how such a student should study in America. He argues discontent spread throughout higher education is due to, in part, the loss of identity among students.
