Ackroyd, the young professor of much intellect and worse than no family, comes in contact with a wholly new social scheme of things thru his position on the faculty of a great university. The daughter of the head of his department stands for the world of culture he has never known and the influence of these two characters upon each other forms the story of the book. In the end, of course, each finds in the other all that an early environment had failed to give.
