ADMINISTRATION IN o one remembers quite when education joined the ranks of big business. But it did, and the result is that even the smallest liberal arts college now presents administrative diffi- culties as complex as those of a large corporation. For the college, survival in this new environment has demanded the evolution of a new kind of administrator. No longer just an educator, the modern administrator must be a financier, personnel manager, and public relations man all in one. In order to make the community aware of his college and its problems, he must combine the talents of a super- salesman and a panhandler. He must surround himself with other administrators, capable men who can take some par- ticular problem — publicity, registrations, student affairs — and solve it. During the last few years, Regis has made a transition; it is no longer a small college with small college problems. Three new buildings show the extent of its physical growth. Its respected position in the region ' s cultural life evidences its intellectual growth. The administration of Regis College can take pride in their work. Regis ' prestige is at an all-time high.
