From the Author:
How I came to write "The Dean's List"
When I finished writing 'Rookery Blues' I thought I had exhausted the topic of academe, but my editor's off-hanad remark brought me back to Rookery State for at least one more book. She said, one day on the phone, "You know, Leland is the most Hasslerlike character in the book" which I took to mean he was most like my characters. But then, as I began to concentrate on Leland Edwards and write about him, I found that he was also very much like Hassler himself. His voice, for exammple, is so close to my own that it seemed natural to write it in the first person.
