"""A well-crafted, intelligent account of Lockwood's demanding relations as chief administrator and head academic officer with the volatile founder/funder whose own expectations and personal pledges of support greatly shaped the college's destiny. The book is thus an instructive case history of the politics of philanthropy that often occur when an institution (and its president) must depend for survival upon the good will and wisdom of a celebrity donor who does not hesitate to intervene in college business.""
