	Is this a good source for considering colleges?
		I recently read the book Colleges That Change Lives, by Loren Pope, and I was wondering how accurate this book is in depicting the situation of colleges nowadays and in particular, the 40 colleges that it refers to.
		Pope has named 40 and there are a lot more.
		Loren Pope is somewhat biased - a little too much of a cheerleader at times - he tends to ignore any negatives about the schools he covers.

		Pope, a former education editor of The New York Times, cites Knox as one of forty schools that "will do at least as much as, and usually far more than, an Ivy League school, an Ivy clone, or a major research university to give you a rich, full life, and to make you a winner."

		Pope writes, "When I made my recent second visit (to Knox), it became clear that of the many powerful attractions of Knox, one is that there is no better college in the country for developing a young mind and character."

		It is fascinating that John XXIII, in his short tenure as Pope, appears today to have influenced the world of his faith more than either his predecessor, Pius (Pacelli), or his successor, Paul (Montini)...
		Pope has a contrarian philosophy of higher education based on his career long inside knowledge as a college counselor.
		A perfect place to start learning about the Pope's views : To celebrate the inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI's reign, I decided (along with, doubtless, millions of other people) that it was best to catch up a bit on the new Pope's intellectual legacy.

		Loren Pope's intelligent writing not only makes the college selection process less daunting, but it forces one to evaluate and question his/her educational values.
		Though Pope never mentions my alma mater in his book and would probably even chide it as a "commuter" school, it nonetheless upholds the values in education that he and I hold so dear.
		Pope is slightly antagonistic towards computer technology and vocational knowledge - I personally find this unsound as well as elitist.
