In his well-researched and entertaining account, David Sharpe tells the fascinating story of the college's seven-year rise and fall.</p><p>Sharpe examines the contradictions of the Age of Aquarius squeezed into one stark skyscraper on Bloor Street in Toronto. He looks at the financing and the internal government of the college, as well as its creative achievements over the years and its contribution to the community. <em>Rochdale: The Runaway College</em> provides a lively, detailed picture of the day-to-day life of the college residents: the peace parties and joyful live-ins, as well as the police raids and the drug overdoses of the dark days.</p>
