Summer Reading Books: The Ties That Bind Colleges

Ohio State, the football-mad university of more than 60,000 students, could hardly be more different from Williams College, the prestigious liberal arts school in the Berkshires, or Loyola University Maryland, a Catholic college in Baltimore.

But this summer, all of their incoming students received the same reading assignment: “Just Mercy,” a memoir by the lawyer Bryan Stevenson of his work defending the poor and the forsaken, and a call for criminal justice reform. At least 70 colleges over the past three years have asked their first-year students to read the book, making it one of the most popular summer reading picks for American colleges.
