Description
Jules Karlin describes how he came to Missoula, Montana, to teach American diplomatic and constitutional history for one year but ended up staying at the University of Montana for his entire career. He discusses University of Montana campus politics during the 1940s, large survey classes, and History Department faculty, including Burly Miller, Paul Phillips, Earl Bennett, and Bob Turner. Karlin recalls a contentious atmosphere in the History Department during his tenure and provides his opinions on the administrations of University of Montana presidents James McCain, Robert Pantzer, and George Dennison. Karlin also talks about the publication of his book on Joseph Dixon—Joseph M. Dixon of Montana—Montana politics, and the relationship between athletics and academics.
