Hidden Iviesis a college educational guide with the most recent edition,The Hidden Ivies, 3rd Edition: 63 of America's Top Liberal Arts Colleges and Universities, published in 2016, byeducational consultantsHoward and Matthew Greene.
Overview
[edit]Howard and Matthew Greene'sHidden Iviesfocuses oncollege admissions in the United States.[1][2][3]According toUnion College, "the authors contend that students who attend one of the 'Hidden Ivies' are likely to acquire critical skills or instincts, including cooperation, leadership, collaboration, mentoring, appreciating personal, religious and cultural differences, and 'learning the truth that intelligence without character, personal integrity and a working set of values can be a dangerous thing.'"[4][5]
The authors define both the title of this book as well as their goals in writing it as: "to create greater awareness of the small, distinctive cluster of colleges and universities of excellence that are available to gifted college-bound students."[6]In the introduction, the authors further explain their aim by referring specifically to "the group historically known as the 'Little Ivies' (includingAmherst,Bowdoin,Middlebury,Swarthmore,Wesleyan, andWilliams)" which the authors say have "scaled the heights of prestige and selectivity and also turn away thousands of our best and brightest young men and women."[6][7]
