Description

Reunion Weekend Seminar: On His Watch, the presidency of John Kendall '49

Presented by Dennis Johnson '60, author of "On His Watch"

John Kendall served as the 12th president of Gustavus from 1981-1991. A study in leadership, this book is about a man who came up through the academic ranks to lead one of America's finest colleges. The book is about his preparation for that office and his hopes once he occupied it. Passion, purpose and heart were hallmarks of Kendall's presidency. The book would not be complete without a look at his frustrations, disappointments, and conflicts which go with the job. He took that challenge on with humor and perseverance to advance the college he loved and to which he gave his energy over 33 years.
