From Plough Boy to College President

Résumé du livre

'From Plough Boy to College President' is not just one man's life story. Through the chronology of Bruce Whitaker's accomplished life, we see the evolution of a generation. From humble-though wholesome and loving-beginnings in 1930s rural North Carolina to President of Chowan College, Whitaker's life epitomizes the 'American Dream' and all it stands for. Through hard work, education and strong moral fortitude, men and women like Whitaker guided us out of the Great Depression and World War II and toward affluence and happiness. Today, those aspects of our history are ever more significant as we contemplate the direction of our future. 'From Plough Boy to College President' is both a memoir of a great American and a guidebook for today's generation.
