One suburban Philadelphia family knows. Evan, who requested we not use his last name, is now 19, and he started using marijuana at 14. Soon he began grinding up and snorting Ambien, prescribed to him for a sleeping problem. Later he added other prescription drugs as well as ecstasy, mushrooms and cocaine to the mix—though Ambien remained his first-choice drug. Finally, after a suicide attempt during his freshman year at New York University’s film school, Evan wound up in a four-month inpatient treatment program and vowed to stay straight....

For Eugene Williams, the project’s director, the issue is not merely academic. If a shaky intellectual start portends a lackluster life, many of his students are already doomed-particularly those who come from communities where survival, not scholastic achievement, is the essential priority. Williams, however, insists that intellectual deprivation can be overcome. And his superiors are gambling that he is right.
