The Pastor and His Projects
Levi, as the pastors son, was very popular with the young people. He had no intention of getting serious with any of the girls he dated. He felt that God had called him to the ministry and his goal was to attend Mount Vernon University. While finishing the last year of his high school, the pastor selected five young people in his church who wanted to go into full time ministry and gave each of them a project to do to learn how to deal with people and how to witness.

The American University
When it was published in 1968, a year noted for historic student protests on campuses across the country, The American University spoke in Jacques Barzun's characteristically wise and lucid voice about what colleges and universities were really meant to do—and how they actually worked. Drawing on a lifetime of extraordinary accomplishment as a teacher, administrator, and scholar, Barzun here describes the immense demands placed on the university by its competing constituencies—students, faculty, administrators, alumni, trustees, and the political world around it all. "American higher education is fortunate to have had a scholar and intellectual of Jacques Barzun's stature give so many years of service to the daily bread-and-butter details of running a great university and then share his reflections with us in a literate, humane, and engaging book."—Charles Donovan, America
