<p>Just in case anyone finds this page now over five years since the last post, the “California Connected” 2003 report can now be found at <a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube; – the “College on the Range - CaliforniaConnected.org” link no longer connects to this great video piece actually titled “School on the Range” but the YouTube link will be there until the end of time, or at least before that. For a good selection of YouTube videos about Deep Springs College to to <a href=“https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+springs+college”>https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=deep+springs+college</a>. As one such posted video, “Deep Springs College - KOCE TV 04-26-98” at <a href=“"Deep Springs College" - KOCE TV April 26, 1998 - YouTube”>"Deep Springs College" - KOCE TV April 26, 1998 - YouTube, quotes from “California Magazine”: Only the best and the brightest are invited to attend Deep Springs…only the intrepid few accept.</p>
<p>And as former Deep Springs College President Randall Reid described the college in 1965: “Creative vision” is a rather trite phrase. It is also, however, a continuing necessity, and Deep Springs makes this necessity inescapably clear. Perhaps that is its unique benefit. At Deep Springs, phrases cannot remain phrases. Theoretical questions relentlessly become real ones, and the issues which are studied in classes appear visibly in the life of the community. They appear over and over. The student learns that a good society or a good character or a good mind is not a “thing” which can be achieved, once and for all, but a perilous balance of unstable elements which is constantly falling apart and constantly having to be created again. Even “creative vision” is not, therefore, a final answer. It is only a condition of the search for answers. Deep Springs invites the student to begin that search.</p>
