79 The professor studies his lecture notes and his books, meets his classes compiles grades, plans courses, and sponsors student organizations and activities. Through the faculty committees of which he is a member, he also provides advice to administrative officials. But, as everybody at any college knows, only administrative officials really run the college. If it were not for them, there would be no bacteria- killing chlorine in the college swimming pool, no coal in heating plant bunkers, no books for students to buy, no desks for their classrooms, no food in their cafeteria, no television in their dormitory lobbies, no classes for them to attend, no professors. ln short, of course, there would be no college. There is a great deal more to administering the functions of a college than merely running it, day after day, in the same old way. There is planning, planning which can never end. Sometimes the plans are mere wishful thinking , . . at first . . . like the wishes Shepherd has for a new women's dormitory, new library, new addition to the men's dormitory, and a student union building. At other times the plans result in the slow but methodical materialization of a new men's dormitory and a new gymnasium. All this is characteristic of administration at Shepherd College, as it is of most American colleges. Administration means planning for present and future enrollments, for buildings, for instruction, and for students, but most of all for students, for without them too, there would be no college.
