A young and wealthy, but underdeveloped man, Tyler Holmes is
appointed as a professor at a women's college outside of Boston.
His lack of development can be traced back to his unsettled and
disoriented childhood and teenage years when his parents constantly
undermined his judgment and behavior. Through his new teaching
position, however, he will eventually accrue more knowledge, and
gain some self-confidence and self esteem. Twenty years of teaching
makes him a master teacher; he stresses individual freedom to learn
and shapes students as thinkers, not believers. He becomes a
crusading professor on a mission with his students to discover what
true learning involves, and this leads to intimate close relations
with several students, two marriages, one abortion, and two
children. He earns a reputation at the college maverick as a
"trouble making" and dedicated teacher who often helps
below-average students to attain new skills and superior ranking
through extra attention. Tyler's main goal is to expose students to
the many dimensions, or shades, of learning, and to enable them to
better understand the shades of gray in human behavior,
accomplishments, and motivations.
