Description
From the research labs at the University to remote lakes in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, Echoes in the Halls tells us the stories about the antics, the hijinks and the adventures of professors at the University of Alberta. A must-read for history buffs and University Alumni. "With so many wonderful memories, of people, events and achievements over the years, it's no wonder that the University of Alberta Drama Department holds such a large place in my heart. And it's no wonder that I still come back for opening night." - Frank Bueckert "No matter what the setting, however, I always found it immensely satisfying to teach undergraduates. It was fun. It was hard work. And there was always something further to come." - Ralph Nursall

Editorial Reviews
"a welcome addition to an all-too-scant history of Canadian higher education.. The overall impression left by these vignettes is one of optimism, commitment, and pride in community." Alexander D. Gregor, CBRA
