The U.S. Academic Profession: Some Thoughts On The Past, Present, And Future, Michael W. Simpson
Essays in Education
This essay reflects the personal and professional, the past as well as the present as they relate to the nature of college and the professors that work in them.

Suggestions are given on how to possibly save the humanity of the profession and the spirit of higher education.
