ABSTRACT
How do you summarize the life’s work of one person in one chapter of a book? For a person of the stature of Wilbert J. McKeachie, the task is impossible. Something will have to be left out. Will it be his seven honorary degrees, his love of sports, his 10-year stint as department chair, his international influence and reputation, his twice weekly singing at the First Baptist Church, 10 editions of Teaching Tips, his role as husband to Ginny and father to two girls, his APF Gold Medal award for Distinguished Teaching in Psychology, or his service to the American Psychological Association? How do you tell the story of a man who arguably is the most influential person in the teaching of psychology in the history of the discipline?
