Long treated a small state university as a personal project, tripling its funding, building it a medical school and a stadium, and expanding the band because he liked marching bands. He also wrote fight songs for it, conducted rehearsals, and once ordered a football game rescheduled around a circus. Academically it worked. He also fired professors who crossed him.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
