The Academy in Peril is an 1972 album by John Cale. Like Church of Anthrax, except for one song in that album, the music is entirely instrumental, academic, as the title of the album suggests.
"Temper", an outtake from the recordings was later released on the promotional compilation, Troublemakers. The cover concept and art was designed by Andy Warhol.
