Excerpt from Aspects of College and University Administration: A Report to the Trustees of Dartmouth College

To The Trustees of Dartmouth College: -

Gentlemen:

I have the honor to submit a report of conditions in various colleges and universities, based upon an investigation undertaken at your invitation during the second semester of the year1915-1916.

Between February 1 and June 1, I visited the following institutions in the order given: Yale University, Columbia University, Princeton University, Western Reserve University, the Ohio State University, Oberlin College, the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, the University of Denver, the University of Colorado, Colorado College, Occidental College, Pomona C6llege, the University of California, Stanford University, Reed College, the University of Washington, the University of Minnesota, the University of Wisconsin, Williams College, Amherst College.

In the early part of the year 1916-1917 I made a supplementary trip, visiting Brown University and Harvard University. Everywhere administrative officers and members of faculties were courteous and hospitable and discussed conditions in their institutions with perfect frankness. I was particularly glad to meet in other universities and colleges many who had been students or teachers at Dartmouth and who were therefore in a position to make comparisons.

I realize that my report is by no means exhaustive. There are many other institutions which I should have been glad to visit, had there been time. It will of course be understood when I make general statements that I am referring only to those colleges and universities which are included in this report. I realize also that many subjects treated might be of interest to the faculty rather than to the trustees, but it has seemed best to include in one report all the matters which I have had opportunity to investigate.

I. Trustees

Boards of trustees or regents show a wide variation in numbers, those of the endowed institutions being in general much larger than those of the state universities. Ohio State, for example, has only six members on its board, the University of Colorado seven, while Pomona has 29, Princeton 30, and Brown 47 (including fellows and trustees).
