At age 23, Ray Baumhart joined the Jesuits, who prepared him for the priesthood and sent him to Harvard University for a doctorate in business administration. His research in business ethics was well-received. After teaching at Loyola University Chicago, he became an academic administrator–moving from dean to vice president and then to Loyola's presidency in 1970.

These memoirs relate Ray's first 46 years, as he recalls them. If you were alive then, your memory will be awakened and stimulated. If you are under 40, you will be surprised at many aspects of the world in which your parents and grandparents lived. Either way, you will find this book a lively read about an interesting life that will prompt you to ponder your own. It traces his unusual life story, from growing up a child of the Depression to becoming president of Loyola University, and everything in between.
