JGRESSES RAPIDLY ACCUSED OF DELAY !* tGAS95 OUT OF 0DATE University President Declares Faculty Executives Given Too Little Authority. SPEAKS AT RECEPTION Favorable View of University's New Administration Policy Is Discussion Feature. "It will readily be granted by those familiar with our universities that the organization methods of most higher institutions of learnr ing are out of date," said President Alexander G Ruthven, speaking be- fore the Schoolmasters' club at its reception and dinner last night, and most of the executives have too little authority and responsibility. "Most will agree," President Ruthven went on, "that the faculty has too little to do with appoint- ments, promotions, or increases of salary, within the departments, in the selection of deans, and in the initiation and execution of educa- tional projects. The deans and other executive officers have too little freedom in administratioi, having to refer a large portion of their decisions to the president for- ratification. Duties Are too General. "The president is forced to ini- tiate academic policies, to direct, to a considerablee degree, the detail- 'ed work of various units and to pass judgment on many matters which should be definitely decided before they reach him. Further, the trus-. tees are expected to approve pro- grams which are intricate enough to require the attention of experts. Owing' to 'an intadequa e distribu- tion of functions, a great deal of administrative work 'is done by I temporary committees, the mem- bers of which must usually . spend hours of time in investigation be- fore they can act intelligently." President Ruthven showed that the results of these conditions are that faculties are hindered in building up educational programs and the executive officers are de- layed in effecting improvements and discharging their duties. Be- -ides this, he stated that the trus- tees are constantly in. danger of making unwise decisions in dealing 'with problems with which they cannot possibly be well acquainted, 'and the presidents seem doomed to be destroyed by routine matters. Innovations Unsuccessful. "Attempts which have been made to improve the method of admin- stration now in vogue in our uni- versities have not been conspicu- ously successful," President Ruth- 'ven continued. "The general fea- tures of the new plan recently ef- fected at Michigan are that officers are added who will assist the pres- ident without'separating him from the faculty, the vice-presidents and other executive officers have been given authority and responsibility and will act as advisors to the chief executive, the president will be kept in direct contact with his I staff through the deans, and the faculties will be given more auth- ority in the affairs of individual units. "Specifically, the new method E.willV i pi n11iI, rJ. i +UtI i UIIreJ1 cV4 that accounted for Syracuse's single tally. Sulkowskib hit a triple for the Orange cause, but his effort was, wasted. The Syracuse keystone combination of Hayman and Walkov contributed some snappy defensive work. Syracuse men reached first and second in the opening inning as a. result of a pair of walks, but they vwere left stranded. Tompkins walk- ed with two down in Michigan's half, but he was out stealing. Hud- son greeted Balsley with a single to second in the second frame. He ad- vanced to second on Straub's sac- rifice bunt and reached third when Daniels grounded to Topol, but Truskowski struck out. This was Michigan's only serious bid for a waive jury trials in capital cases and in most felony cass, and that the lack of convictions, which the affirmative side 'attributed to the jury's incompetense, was traceable to the prosecutor's office and negli- gence or non-functioning of t'l police forces. The negative side also contended successfully that if judges were go- ing to be be allowed to make law by their decisions, juries should be kept as a protection to the people:I that in state suipremke courts d cisions from jury trials were al- nrmed in 77 per cent of the cases as comuared with 50 per cent of the cases appealed from trials in which a judge had acted on the case score until the twelfth.
