"This book captures the essence of William Bowen--his brilliance, wisdom, wit, and humanity. It is a worthy tribute to one of the most visionary and inspirational leaders in the history of American higher education."--Morton Schapiro, president of Northwestern University
"Ever the Leader introduces readers to one of the most original, productive, and engaging minds, wrestling with some of the compelling issues of his day. A remarkable portrait of an immensely effective leader, this collection clearly articulates the values William Bowen cherished in individuals and institutions, and displays the intellectual excitement inspired by his wide-ranging interests and commitments."--Mary Patterson McPherson, president emeritus of Bryn Mawr College
"Few figures in American higher education have left a larger mark than William Bowen. This beautifully edited collection of his lectures, essays, and remembrances perfectly captures Bowen's breadth, brilliance, wit, judgment, decency, and humanity. This is a fitting tribute to someone who was truly 'ever the leader.'"--Lawrence S. Bacow, president emeritus of Tufts University
"Ever the Leader presents William Bowen's major ideas on essential topics in higher education. Even for those who are well versed in the Bowen oeuvre, there are important insights, especially on academic freedom and free speech. Bowen's moral clarity, wisdom, and courage--his willingness to speak his mind on the most controversial dilemmas--shine through."--Nancy Weiss Malkiel, author of "Keep the Damned Women Out": The Struggle for Coeducation
"This exceptionally valuable book serves a distinctive and important purpose. It exemplifies William Bowen's work as a leader in the academic, philanthropic, and business worlds."--Michael S. McPherson, coauthor of Lesson Plan: An Agenda for Change in American Higher Education
