Kenneth on A. Eustace Haydon's Grooming of KL to Replace Him

Haskell lectures on history of religions Haydon, A. Eustace (Albert Eustace), 1880-1975

Kenneth was invited to give the Haskell lectures because A. Eustace Haydon, his doctoral supervisor, was retiring and wanted Kenneth to succeed him. He told Kenneth that he will never forget him, and went on to tell how he would prepare for his class lectures and then try to figure out what "that son of a bitch Landon" would attack in the presentation. There were other people interested in the position, but Kenneth didn't apply because he couldn't afford the pay-cut it would mean: the job paid about half what Kenneth was making in his work for the government.
