Going Around in Academic Circles: A Low View of Higher Education

The author draws on 37 years of teaching and deaning in colleges and universities to offer up what is, in effect, a parody of a college catalog. Armour gives the Armour treatment to such subjects as admissions, campus, roommates, expenses, employment, scholarships, class attendance, grades, physical education, the honor code, faculty advisers, department heads, the curriculum, and commencement speakers. This book is for everybody, but especially for presidents, deans, professors, alumni, students, drop-outs, drop-ins, and people with a sense of humor.
