520 |a If our colleges and universities have not kept pace with the rapidly changing society that higher education has created, to what extent can this fact be laid at the door of trustees or ascribed to the relationships between policymaking bodies in higher education and the operating leadership in administration? It is to this question that this reprint addresses itself. Presidents should be strong in the sense that they are willing to deal with boards whose enthusiasm leads them into areas where they do not have competence. One of the most difficult problems the president has to face is the trustee who has been responsible for significant past gifts to the institution or who obviously is capable of substantial future gifts and who attempts to use the power of the purse to influence decisions. Only effective and enlightened leadership from the president and board of trustees can handle critical issues in a way to insure that the public wisdom will continue to be an ally on the side of higher education.
