This engaging memoir details Bill Cunningham's seven years as president of the University of Texas at Austin and his eight years as chancellor of the UT System.

As president and then as chancellor, Cunningham dealt with conflict from all sides of the political spectrum, always striving to protect the university's interests.Bill Cunningham was at the center of many important issues during the fifteen years he served as president and chancellor. The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin is pleased to publish Cunningham's detailed and insightful memoir, which serves as a reminder of how these issues continue to resonate and affect higher education in Texas. |
