...draw people to him by the wealth of his learning, however disagreeable and cantankerous he may be, a dean must inspire the respect and loyalty of everybody who deals with him. A chance or thoughtless word, though off-hand and unintentional, may convince an undergraduate that the heart of University Hall is black and malign. But, given a man with an attractive personality and the ability to manage people, the opportunities of assistant deans for influence in the educational world are infinite in scope and variety...

John Meade, tycoon extraordinary, plays with natural resources as he does with the little country lass's heart--he is frank in his admission that his work is swindle by business technique, and he scorns to replant forests he devastates. When he shifts from lumber to wheat, he runs against a dust storm, the governor of the state who reminds him of his responsibility for the storm...
