I first encountered Laurence Veysey as an undergraduate at Pennsylvania State University in the early 1990s. I did not meet Veysey, who had long since left the academy. Nor did I read The Emergence of the American University’, which happened years later in graduate school. Actually, my first contact with Laurence R. Veysey occurred without me knowing it.
