Feldman's last year was my first year there. He had a great legacy, but in his final years he wasn't too popular among the students, and I think not too many people were sad to see him go at that point.

EDIT: That said, the last thing I expected to see scanning the HN headlines today was something from gwu.edu :-P

I wasn't going to name names, but I remember many people not being pleased that we were required to buy his textbook even though he had clearly checked out. In fairness, he had a great reputation because he was a very good teacher. He just took his sweet time retiring.

The 3rd edition looks familiar.
