Abstract:
During the past several years the NACTA Journal has developed its March issue to administrative problems and the administrator. Several noteworthy articles have been published concerning the role of the administrator and the accomplishments of colleges and departments relating to this role. In reviewing these articles I find two theses which seem to have universal acceptance when related to the department administrator - particularly to the department chairman - as an individual. First, administering a department only diminishes the competence of the the man in his field. As he devotes more and more time to administrative functions, he probably becomes less and less qualified to return to the classroom or laboratory. Second, the department administrator loses his drive for effective leadership from six months to ten years after his original appointment.
