"What are the practices of university presidents in relation to their several publics?

If we could know something rather definite about the relation of university presidents with their faculties, students, govern

ing boards, alumni, legislators and the general public, it would be of inestimable value to newcomers in the much coveted position of university president." Based on questionnaire returns from 46 presidents of institutions in the National Association of State Universities. Responses analyzed in terms of size in three groups, universities with less than 6,000 students; 6,000 to 10,000; and over 10,000. Summarizes briefly 28 types of activity and their frequencies, 14 "common problems," 12 conclusions, and 6 "studies that should be made." See also No. 433. 643.

Principles

States and discusses three principles: "It is imperative that the chief executive of a state-supported institution accept the principle that the college over which he presides is of, for, and by the people and that it is their wishes which must determine the amount and nature of support which the institution will receive. In the second

place, an administrator should be honest in presenting the needs for his institution. . . . The third principle governing a college administrators relations with the law-making body is that he should not lobby for his appropriations."

but this paper is intended, so far as it goes, to be a tribute to President Eliot-a recognition of his half century of leadership, both in education and in public opinion on other matters of general interest-the latter especially after his retirement from the presidency of Harvard University in 1909."

"As the institutions have been changing, the character of the men who manage them has been changing. The old ideal of a college president is seldom realized now except in some small and backward institutions. He was rather aged and always venerable. His aspect was spiritual. . . . A surprizing thing is that not one of these nine presidents of leading universities is a doctor of divinity. The first prizes in the university presidencies are now held by other than clergymen."

It seems fitting that while we are honoring these sons of Muskingum, who became university presidents, mention should be made of some of Muskingum's presidents who have made possible our college."
