Excellence Without a Soul

Excellence Without a Soul is a book by Harry R. Lewis, the former Dean of Harvard College, that examines the state of America's universities and colleges with particular reference to Harvard. It first appeared in 2006 as Excellence Without a Soul: How a Great University Forgot Education and subsequently in 2007, with a new subtitle, as Excellence Without a Soul: Does Liberal Education Have a Future? It attracted considerable attention because of its trenchant analysis of undergraduate education, much of which was based on his experience as a Harvard administrator. It has been translated into Chinese and Korean.
