AUT, 2004. Soft Cover. Very Good. Illustrations. Written in an engaging and journalistic style, this is the very readable biography of the retiring Vice-Chancellor of Auckland University of Technology, the Rev. Dr. John Hinchcliff. It is the story of a keen rugby and cricket player, a religious philosopher who became a Presbyterian minister, a husband and father, a peace campaigner, a university chaplain and teacher who moved into tertiary education administration. He was for twenty years the Vice-Chancellor of the Auckland Technical Institute that became Auckland Institute of Technology. It was at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2000, that AIT became New Zealand's newest university as the Auckland University of Technology, to a large degree the result of the vision and energy and persistence of John Hinchcliff. It is a university with a commitment to practical training as well as academic excellence, and with a strong emphasis on pastoral care for its students in all their cultural diversity. A Very Good copy. Publisher's review stamp on prelim.
