William A. Henry III proposes in his essay “In Defense of Elitism” that college should be open to only the very few and elite. His essay begins as a tightly woven masterpiece, unfortunately, it begins to fray and unravel which inevitably becomes entirely undone before its final paragraph. Allowing only the best to attend college is a fairy tangible idea, after thinking about it may even make sense. As William states early in his essay France, Japan and even Britain are countries that follow the idea of college for the few and the elite. To further prove his point he goes on to show all Americans attend college solely because it will guarantee them a better paying job. On the surface, this seems an understandable point, until we look at these countries he has given as examples. In these countries, only 15% are admitted to college. Such intense competition means that many students cannot compete successfully for admission to the college of their choice. An unsuccessful student can either accept an admission elsewhere, forego a college education, or wait until the following spring to take the national examinations again.
