From the New York Times review: "the chief purpose of the book is to put into story form a scorching criticism of American methods of higher education and to charge them with failure to meet the demands of modern life. And it is evident that Mr. Hedges has had intimate knowledge of the inside workings of college faculties, or, rather, of some college faculty." First edition. Hardcover, full green cloth, gilt titling. General wear, spine gilt faded; light staining to covers; paper tanned; minor damage to rear free endsheet from a binding error. Text clean; 318 pages. Size: 5Ľ" by 7˝". Seller Inventory # n0370a
