Description is exactly "Prof. Croasdale writes Rieser to thank him for her recent promotion from Assistant Professor with tenure to the rank of full Professor. She takes the time to acknowledge Rieser's role in her rise through the ranks throughout her Dartmouth career: “It was you who gave me my first boost, long ago, when I felt trapped as a mere technician...” The letter still contains her trademark biting and ironic humor, towards both the institution and herself: “I'm very glad that I made this grade [full Professor] before my retirement. It was close... It's not what I'd call a brilliant career, but it's been fun most of the time, and I'm still going strong--I hope.”"
