- catalog abstract ""While it is not unusual for college professors to spend decades in university life before retiring, not all that many have had the opportunity to be a teacher and administrator for well over half a century. I am one of those comparatively few. This book comes from those decades of service. I have had many baptisms in university waters ranging in temperature from boiling hot to freezing cold, all resulting from the weighty and often highly charged forces for change. This book is not a tract dealing in abstract issues but emerges from my personal and professional experiences in higher education, including my earlier years. From them I have distilled problems and their causes and venture to express some solutions to them. I have detailed more specifically my university involvements from the end of World War II to the present. During that period, I served at every level of academic involvement from lowly teaching assistant to the oft perceived eminence of a university presidency, which in truth can at times be lowly itself. The assertions I make translate into large and overarching issues and they derive from my participation in specific situations. Clearly they lend themselves to analysis and theory, but I approach them and suggest solutions as a result of my "being there," sometimes as an observer but more often as a participant."--Jacket.".
