Book excerpt: During John William Ward’s time as president of Amherst College, he dealt with issues of gender and sexuality through the integration of women into a traditionally masculine culture, as well as issues of race, generational differences, a growing student dissatisfaction with American intervention in Vietnam, and the difference between academic theory and action. Like the examination of any college president’s tenure, an examination of Ward’s is an examination of the relationships between the college administration and the students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
