| Summary |
In this book, Jerry Davis gives us the story of a singularly unusual college. No tuition is charged, all students work on campus every semester, debt is openly discouraged and each student is graded on their work, as well as their academic endeavors. The results have earned the college the nickname of "Hard Work U." |
