Haynes Academy has fallen on hard times, with enrollment at barely a quarter of capacity, as military schooling is no longer an easy sell in the post-Vietnam era. William Haynes, grandson of the founder of Haynes Academy, doesn't have Rumford's respect for the institution, and personally loathes Rumford, having himself attended the academy as a cadet earlier in Rumford's tenure. Haynes has an idea to revive the sagging fortunes of the academy: admit female students. Rumford, the hidebound traditionalist, is horrified, and moreso by the fact that Haynes also is intent on removing Rumford from his leadership role.
