Article Abstract:

There is a malaise spreading among America's college and university students, which leaves students with little direction or lasting desire and restricts their capacity to conceive of a noble and rewarding life, it encourages their pursuit of artificial and extreme joys that somehow always yield to lassitude or disappointment. The satisfaction that politics supplies, being without confidence in ether god or reason and clinging to the enervating doctrine of progress, many of students are filled with the same uncertainties and self-doubts.
