the administration t22I When universities were first con- ceived. their regulation was a sim- ple matter. At. best the rule of the majority was the highest form of government, and indeed it was sufficient. For then there were no huge endowments to be invested and preserved. no buildings and campus to be cared for. no large faculty to regulate. and no great. student body to superintend. The educational system was a matter of personal relationship between a lecturer and his class. But in edu- cational evolution a tremendous growth has been effected so that now neither the student body nor the faculty is the dominant part of a university. Rather it is the arl- ministration which is recognized to be of primary importance.
