I BEGIN WITH THIS QUOTATION from Stephen Leacock not to deliver some kind of an attention-getting psychic shock to my auditors-( for you will note that Leacock places libraries in the campus pecking order somewhere between the smoking room and textbooks)but rather to call attention to the fact that in his listing of priorities administrators do not "make the team" at all. This delightful British approach regarding the importance of administrators may exist in our moments of wishfulfillment on our own campuses, but in fact the top administrators in our institutions of higher education have enormous influence in all aspects of campus
