| Abstract |
"... By focusing on the tenure of two very different university's presidents in Fire and stone, Edward Kidder Graham (Fire) and Harry Woodburn Chase (Stone), Howard Covington recounts how these men complemented one another to lay the groundwork for our modern university. Each was the right leader at the right time, and this ... book shows how different leadership styles allowed them to implement their distinctive visions for the University"-- Provided by publisher. |
