Apps grew up on a Wisconsin and became the first in his family to attend college. His first professional job was as the 4-H Director in Brown County (Green Bay). His career path spanning 1951-1994 included publications director, teacher, researcher, graduate advisor, department chair and, eventually, retired writer.
Being a memoir, this is a personal history. As a non-academic I found the account of the challenges of a college professor to be interesting. An academic may wish to compare experiences. The concept of gradually being drawn into teaching, rather than it being an original goal, was a not what I expected. The requirements to advance education while balancing a job and family was beyond my ken. I was particularly fascinated by a faculty member’s perspective on the social unrest that erupted on Wisconsin’s campus during the 1960s and 1970s. This supplements the view of campus unrest documented in “Madison in the Sixties” by Stuart D. Levitan (see my review).
“Once A Professor” is a matter-of-fact, quick but informative and enjoyable read.
