註釋

An esteemed professor and one-time chairman of the mathematics department at New York's Pace University, Adams, interested in all facets of university administration, has produced an almost Jeffersonian volume of correspondence from his tenure.

His views on textbook selection, collective bargaining and the proper role of the university have all flowed from his notebook, and no problem was too minute to evade his
scope The frivolity of some of these papers is balanced by Adams's opinions on weightier issues, including sexual harassment and compensation in higher education.

His approach and forward manner on these situations, despite how genuine, sometimes engendered resentment from his fellow faculty.

But for those interested in the particulars of an academic career, this book offers a glimpse of what life may really be like inside the ivory tower.
