[AISWorld] Thoughts from a chairman

[Henry C. Lucas]

Dear Colleagues:

I retired in 2019 which was my 50th year on a faculty someplace.  I began
to write short essays as a reminder of the mostly good times during the
more than 70 years spent in one educational institution or another as a
student or faculty member.

Writing essays turned out to be a nice, safe pandemic activity so the list
grew over time, and expanded to include OpEd essays and short vignettes
that are semi-autobiographical in nature.   This fall I pulled all of the
essays together into a book *Thoughts from Chairman Hank:  From a Lifetime
in Education.*  The title comes from the three sentences for a total of 11
years I spent as a department chairman at two universities.

>From the back cover:

“This book is an inside look at higher education in U.S. colleges and
universities from the viewpoint of a long-time professor.  It dares to
address teaching, research, tenure, promotions and administration.  The
book contains a series of essays, opinions and observations including
sketches from the author’s life.  Hopefully this little book will provide
both insights and entertainment.”
