Farm boy professor shares a life of lessons.I never wanted to be a professor, writes Jerry Apps in the introduction to Once a Professor. Yet a series of unexpected events and unplanned experiences put him on an unlikely pathand led to a thirtyeightyear career at the University of Wisconsin.In this continuation of the Apps life story begun in his childhood memoir Limping through Life, Wisconsins celebrated rural storyteller shares stories from his years at the University of WisconsinMadison from 1957 to 1995, when he left the university to lecture and write fulltime. During those years Apps experienced the turmoil of protests and riots at the UW in the 1960s, the struggles of the tenure process and faculty governance, and the everpresent pressure to secure funding for academic research and programs.Through it all, the awardwinning writer honed a personal philosophy of educationone that values critical thinking, nontraditional teaching approaches, and handson experiences outside of the classroom. Colorful characters, personal photos, and journal entries from the era enrich this account of an unexpected campus career.
