Kenneth on How He Got the Job at Earlham College

Earlham College

Kenneth finished his PhD at Chicago, tried to become a pastor, then to introduce the teaching of Eastern religions and Philosophy in a number of universities, but never succeeded in any of his attempts. One day he decided to go around Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana on a job hunting tour. He eventually got one at Earlham College, at the place where he was least likely to get a job.
