A MINI TR T10 . . . is a difiicult job for it demands clear thinking. diplomacy, and . . . the strength of one's convictions. The complex organization that we call a university is a difiicult hody to run. It is diflicult hecause it in- cludes activities in every sphere of human life. Its joh includes the academic. spiritual. social. athletic, extra- curricular life of the students that are enrolled at thc university. But. even more generally. the welfare and progress of the university itself are a matter of concern to the administrative heads that run the university. In making decisions the administrative heads must have in mind. at all times. a standard of value-s which will determine what is most important and what is least im- portant hoth for the- individual good of the student and for the common good of the whole university. With deft handling. controversies hetween groups. hetween opposing theories. and more specifically. hetwecn individuals, must he resolved hy the administrative heads of the university. This is a difficult job for it demands clear thinking, diplomacy, and. ahove all. the strength of oneis convictions. Wfithout any of thesc, the smooth- working machinery of a university could he thrown into chaos. In fact, we might almost liken the administration of a large institution like the Catholic University to a large corporation. Without the centralized control that promotes success in industry. a university could be merely a loosely-hound group of oliiccs and departments.
