"Shils walks us through the facts. He marks the change from amateur to professional scholar and from generalist to specialist; addresses the Ph.D. as cause and effect of our academic malaise; examines the evolution of tenure; the shifting competition for research funding, prestige, and students."--Virginia Quarterly Review
