The Good Government Man captures the life of Albert Coates
(1896-1989), the founder and first director of the Institute of
Government at the University of North Carolina, and an exciting,
transformative era in the history of UNC. Inspired by visionary
President Edward Kidder Graham--whose death during the influenza
pandemic of 1918 devastated the campus--Coates adopted as his life
mission his hero's dream of the university in service to the state.
With raw determination, stubborn independence, and sheer audacity,
Coates created the Institute of Government, now School of
Government, to prepare elected officials, government employees, and
private citizens for public service. Covington's clear-eyed account
presents Coates in all his guises. Passionate and persuasive on the
stump, he tirelessly recruited anyone who would listen to his cause
including state and university leaders who would prove essential to
the ultimate success of the Institute. To admirers, he was a genius
of striking originality. Like many with a strong sense of mission,
he could also be exasperatingly insistent on getting his way in all
matters, great or small. His story, however, is unarguably an
important one, and the value of the institute he founded, the first
program of its type in the nation, is inestimable. | The Good
Government Man captures the life of Albert Coates (1896-1989), the
founder and first director of the Institute of Government at the
University of North Carolina, and an exciting, transformative era
in the history of UNC.
