The one person who can cope with these groups collectively and individu- ally is the President. She interprets the Corporation to the aluninae and the faculty to the Corporation. She presides over hoards and committees. She also has the delicate joh of dealing with naughty students. When fond parents call on her unexpectedly she remembers daughter ' s first name, her major, that she did very well in the Freshman Show and is having a difficult time with her Baby German. When she is not doing all this, she is representing the college to the Outside World. In short, if she should find herself behind the tea tabic faced with an alumna who had a daughter in college who had just done Some- thing Dreadful, a member of the Board who was complaining about the trend towards communism, a Flexner lecturer and a warden crazed by waterbugs, she would have to make them all comfortable. All this, from the highest ideal to the lowest cigarette stub, is watched over by the Corporation. And whether it was what he meant or not, it was made possible by the late Joseph W. Taylor of Woodlands, in the count v of Burlington. State of New Jersey. The Faculty consists of the President, the Dean, and everyone else above the status of instructor. They have power over academic requirements, but their activity is generally subject to the decision of the Board of Directors. They have a committee of three on the Board of Directors for purposes of discussion, without vote.
