Description

The College Hill Chronicles is an account of the formative years of a small subarctic university with big ambitions. Davis emphasizes the politics and personalities of the boardroom, but shows the cooperation and conflict that tied the boardroom debates to politics on a more grand scale in Juneau and in Washington.

Davis doesn’t pass judgement on the individuals who shaped the university, regardless that he does marvel at them. He supports no theory of historical inevitabilities, excluding most likely for Murphy’s Law. Less interested within the philosophical explanation of the reason for events, Davis places more emphasis on people and how they dealt with those events. Administrators of any organization will appreciate and have empathy with the organizational pitfalls Davis describes. Some historians would possibly find this approach bizarre, but readers will benefit from the refreshing narrative of The College Hill Chronicles.
