The University Presidency Today: A Word for the Incumbents.

Muller, Steven

New Directions for Higher Education, n61 p23-29 Spr 1988

It is intimidating to preside over an institution so large that knowledge of detail and personal familiarity are impossible, and so complex that most of the knowledge pursued and taught in it is mysterious.
