The first colleges and universities were founded when a few students gath- ered around some learned man and asked him to pass down to them some of his knowledge. Although the system has been greatly changed since those early seats of learning, the college's faculty and admin- istration are the keystone to education. On the following pages are the members of Westminster's administration and faculty. 14
