When Otis Freeman, 62, was appointed president of little (750 students) Eastern Washington College of Education at Cheney two years ago, no one on the faculty wanted to complain. After all, Freeman had been a teacher of geology and geography since 1924, and his colleagues felt he deserved a quick stint in the presidency as a climax to his career.

Backed by his ambitious and unpopular vice president, Clark Frasier, Geographer Freeman ordered his professors around as they had never been ordered around before. A gruff, stubborn man, he refused to listen to their complaints, once bluntly told them to stop flunking students lest enrollment drop. As the months passed, professors began to seethe.

Son of a Confederate veteran, Editor Freeman rigidly scheduled every minute of his 17-hour working day ("Time is irreplaceable"), ran his newspaper like a tidewater plantation, breezed through two daily radio broadcasts and more than 100 lectures a year, kept working on scholarly, detailed biographies of his favorite Southerners. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his four-volume life of Lee in 1935, Historian Freeman brilliantly analyzed Confederate failure...
