Dr. Stuart Hunter, the new instructor in English at Parthenon College, was something of a shock to his associates. He was a most unusual choice for the late head of the English Department. "Dr. Hunter's" real name was Nick Torrente, and he had never finished high school.
By a series of events, he had been persuaded to change places with the real Stuart Hunter, an impeccable young Ph. D., and now, armed with a thorough knowledge of the world and some month-old information about English composition, literature and higher criticism, he was determined to carry through the impersonation.
Nick's adventures at Parthenon add up to a very funny and knowing satire of American academic life - with an unexpected outcome which even surprises Nick.
