Getting Educated - Paperback

by David Herndon Sanders (Author)

College students at a Central Texas college find out that 'getting educated' involves a lot more than book learning. Their experiences run the gamut in finding out the truth about the president of the college through a year and a half period in 1940 and 1941. All of this is set against the backdrop of campus life as well as celebrations and events such as Homecoming, Thanksgiving Dinners, New Year's Day Open Houses, Practice Preaching, Bluebonnet Season, a Freshman Picnic on the Colorado River at Lake Buchanan, and even working at a Dude Ranch one summer. Discoveries are unbelievable by one of the characters until he becomes personally involved in events long past. No one who reads this book will ever forget Dr. Amon K. Waterston, the college president, and the rules he expects to be followed by everyone else but him.
