Red printer wrapper. Now in protective cover. From the foreword: "In recent decades, American colleges and universities have inflicted upon themselves a variety of follies. But the most baneful foolishness from which college presidents and professors suffer is now called 'Affirmative Action.' It is thrust upon the campus by the federal Office of Civil Rights, and it is ferociously anti-intellectual. Even the Academy of Lagado would have risen up indignantly at such an insult to higher learning. To put the matter succinctly, Affirmative Action is a program for compelling colleges to engage unqualified or underqualified persons as professors of arts and sciences, merely because those favored persons are alleged to belong to 'minorities.'
