Born to a working-class Irish American family in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 1927, William G. Monahan was surrounded by love but not expected to amount to much. But he got lucky. He married a woman who saw more in him than he saw in himself, and they became an extraordinary team. He took advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the G. I. Bill to attend college, and after a few years as a high school teacher and a public relations manager for the Kentucky Superintendent of Schools, he completed a doctorate at Michigan State University and became a university professor. During his career, he published books in his field and became dean of the College of Human Resources and Education at West Virginia University. From Cabbage to Cauliflower chronicles his transformation from relative poverty in western Kentucky to become a respected academic, highlighting his remarkable and truly American climb up the social and educational ladder." --cover page [4]. 500 $a Includes index. 505 0 $a Preface -- Forward -- Education and the chance to become -- Pauline Tabor's house of ill repute -- The military times -- The academy: Then and now -- On becoming an educator -- The bureaucratic interlude (1956-1958) -- The professorial years: Michigan State University and Oklahoma University (1958-1965) -- The professorial years: University of Iowa (1965-1972) -- West Virginia University (1972-1996) -- Rewards and recognition The later years (1996-2011) -- Your Billy: Letters from a nineteen-year-old soldier -- The death of Robert "Sonny" Monahan, Jr. -- Index. 600 10 $a Monahan, William G. 610 20 $a West Virginia University $x Administration $v Biography. 610 20 $a University of Oklahoma $x Faculty $v Biography. 610 20 $a University of Iowa $x Faculty $v Biography. 650 0 $a College administrators $v Biography. 650 0 $a College teachers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Educators $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Monahan, Jane N., $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023022.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F41809803D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
