Believed to be a first edition. The writer, whose name is unknown, states: "I write from my dozen and a half years as spectator and participant in the great swindle we call college teaching". A scathing critique. "The Ph.D. has become a license to steal inasmuch as the position of college instructor demands little work, less intelligence and no courage." Dare I say the author might be a bit curmudgeonish? Dj is beige with red and blue lettering. Very min wear to edges. Ove rall, dj is bright, clean. New mylar cover. No price clip.
