Student Unrest Takes
Heavy President Toll
Education Today
By FREDERICK H. TREESH
United Press International
Student unrest is taking a
heavy toll of college presidents.
Dr. Buell G. Gallagher,
president of City College of
New York, announced last week
he was quitting after weeks of
student disruption that led to
bloodshed and arson on his
20,000-student campus.
Gallagher was not the first to
go.
Dr. Ray L. Heffner quit last
week at Brown University,
saying he did not “enjoy being
a university president.”
Chancellor Edward W. Strong
of the University of California
at Berkeley resigned in 1965
under criticism of his handling
of student protests. Two years
later, the president of the
California University system,
Clark Kerr, was fired by the
state Board of Regents in the
wake of campus disorders.
Columbia University’s Dr.
Groyson Kirk resigned last
year after student disruption.
San Francisco State College
lost two presidents—Drs. John
Summerskill and Robert Smith
—under similar circumstances.
Leaves Presidency
Dr. Elvis Starr recently left
the presidency of the University
of Indiana and Dr. John
Champion quit as president of
Florida State, at least partially
as a result of student agitation
and its attendant pressures.
The president of Swarthmore
College in Pennsylvania, Dr.
Courtney C. Smith, died of a
heart attack while his campus
was in the throes of student
disorders last year.
In the past year, at least 250
changes have been made in the
presidencies of America’s ap-
proximately 2,500 colleges and
universities. Right now, accord,
ing to the American Association
of Higher Education (AAHE),
there are some 200 colleges
with vacancies in the pres
ident’s office. Seventy are at
major universities.
Student activism caused some I
of this turnover although no
precise measurement is possi-1
ble.
A college president’s tenure!
once could be calculated In I
decades. Now, according to
Ralph Cheesebrough, the
AAHE’s director of special
projects, the average U.S.
college president has been in
office four years.
“We’re experiencing a big!
turnover—much more than |
usual,” said Russell I. Thack
rey, executive director of the
National Association of Univer
sities and Land Grant Colleges,
an organization of ill such
schools in all 50 states.
"Student unrest is a factor,” i
he said, but adds that it is only
one of a variety of pressures I
that have made university'
administration infinitely more
burdensome than it was in
former years.
“Presidents feel the job takes
out of them as much in five
years as it used to in 10,” he
said.
In the opinion of Charles
Dobbins, executive director of
the American Council on
Education, student activism “is
a factor in many more
resignations than those in which
the president publicly says so.”
And, he says, “I think the
effect of the unrest probably will
be even more costly in terms of
i
WB ■' wi
the willingness of new people to
aspire to leadership. We know
for a fact there are some very
able faculty people who consi
dered administration but have
changed their minds.”
Affects Health
These potential presidents are
i concerned about the effect of
the administrative responsibili
! ties on their health and families
■ as well as their careers.
I
One result of the pressure
and burden is the tendency of
academicians to try administra
tion for a w’hile and then return
to the ranks of teachers and
researchers. Some university
presidents, such as Howard
Bowen of the University of
lowa, recently have done this.
But it is more common among
university vice presidents and
deans, says Thackrey.
“It is not at all unusual for a
man to go into administration
for four or five years and then
| return to teaching,” he said.
Other university administra
tors. such as Douglas Knight at
Duke University, Vernon Alden
at Ohio University, and Frank
Ross of the University of
Alabama, are forsaking the
rigors of the president’s office
I for lucrative positions in
industry. Still others are finding
good paying and potentially less
burdening positions in govern
ment.
Thackrey concedes it Is
increasingly more difficult to
fill presidencies and these Jobs
pay $20,000 to $50,000 a year,
some more.
