| Abstract | For centuries, the titans of educational reform--Plato, Rousseau, Dewey, Piaget, Erikson, Csikszentmihalyi and others--have championed the educational benefits of play. Yet many professors and administrators are boggled by the idea of playing academic games in college. They instantly dismiss faculty initiatives like "Reacting to the Past", where students play complex role-playing games set in the past, their roles informed by classic texts. This article maintains that skepticism towards such forms of play derives from the ideas of the chief proponents of educational play: their "endorsement" of play has also included a powerful denunciation of competitive role-playing games. This centuries-old philosophical predisposition against such modes of play has impeded pedagogical innovation at the college level. That such games can revitalize higher education is demonstrated by the extraordinary response at the over 350 colleges and universities where faculty have adopted "Reacting" during the past decade.
