- W1997814378 abstract "history of innovative higher education has produced its share of charismatic leaders, men and women with strong educational ideals who have managed to convey to their faculty and students a sense of their own importance and of their university's special place in sun. If leadership has been particularly daring and imaginative, leader and college may even become synonymous in people's minds. Such is case with Billy Wireman and Eckerd College, or Florida Presbyterian as it was first called. a real sense, Eckerd College was Billy Wireman, and vice versa. It came down to that, was way one faculty member put it. At beginning of 1960s in St. Petersburg, a city best known for its attractiveness to elderly retirees from Midwest, Presbyterians of Florida had decided to launch a college. It was an unlikely place but a propitious time for start of an institution devoted to youth: Higher education in United States was entering an era of rapid expansion, and Florida, nation's fastest-growing state, was destined to lead way. Propelled by a spirit of infinite possibility in what some now recall wistfully as Age of Camelot, Florida Presbyterian College (FPC) was proclaimed a budding new model of liberal arts excellence. It was dedicated to innovation and relevance long before those terms became hackneyed and meaningless. Less freewheeling than New College, its near neighbor and contemporary in Sarasota (see Change, May 1975), FPC nonetheless nourished a singular vision. It aspired to be church related in a time of growing secularism, small and intimate in a time of pervasive bigness, an amalgam of traditional and latter-day liberal arts ideals in a time of specialization run amok. Billy Wireman epitomized new institution's accent on youth. In early years he was physical education and athletics department, or most of it, and he looked part: Strong, crew cut, ruggedly handsome, he was 28 years old and filled with enthusiasm and energy. He had just completed his doctorate at George Peabody College for Teachers, a d two years before he had been an assistant basketball coach under legendary Adolph Rupp at University of Kentucky when Rupp's charges won NCAA championship. William Kadel, FPC's first president, often spoke of his hope that new College would become the Princeton of South. Kadel and John Bevan, vice president for academic affairs, hand-picked a charter faculty of 22 persons, one for every seven JOHN EGERTON is teaching this year at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He is a frequent contributor to Change." @default.
