Administration Education is big business iu America. There- fore, Oliio University is analogous to a coi-poration composed of a president, board of directors, depart- ment heads, and white collar workers. The capital is provided by the state. The student is the con- sumer. The corporation to the average eye seems com- plicated ; l)ut most people take the function of a uni- versity foi ' granted. As many diverse functions are needed to keep a university producing a consumable product. From the mailing room in the basement of Cutler Hall to the president ' s office on the floor above ; from the treasurer ' s office to the executive l)oard meeting, the necessary functions take place. Finances, maintenance, public relations, corre- spondence, file cabinets of records, classrooms, labs . . . these are the machines and the paper work which make or break the business and the product. A university does not exist simply fiecause it is a university; it exists and continues to produce be- cause it functions efficiently and because it is run by competent personnel.

Essential to an efficient organization is close cooperation among the department heads.
