College Administration (1900)

''College Administration'' is a book written by Charles Franklin Thwing in the year 1900. The book is a comprehensive guide to the administration of colleges and universities. It covers a wide range of topics, including the history of college administration, the role of the president, the duties of the faculty, the organization of the curriculum, the management of finances, and the relationships between the college and the community. Thwing draws on his extensive experience as the president of Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) to provide practical advice and insights into the challenges of running a successful college or university. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear mission and vision for the institution, and of fostering a sense of community among faculty, students, and staff. Throughout the book, Thwing also addresses some of the larger issues facing higher education in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. He discusses the impact of new technologies, such as the telephone and the typewriter, on college administration, as well as the growing importance of research and the need for universities to adapt to changing social and economic conditions.
