Abstract	ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEMS OF CHAIRMEN DIFFER DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND NATURE OF THE INSTITUTION, TOO LITTLE ATTENTION IS PAID TO THESE DIFFERENCES IN THE RECRUITING OF A CHAIRMAN. IN ORDER TO FILL A VACANT CHAIRMANSHIP ADEQUATELY, A PROGRAM SHOULD BE SET UP TO INDUCT THOSE WITH THE RIGHT TALENTS AND INCLINATIONS INTO MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS, AND FORM A CADRE FROM WHICH PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS MAY BE DRAWN. SUCH TRAINING IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE (1) ROTATION AND SHORT-TERM APPOINTMENTS ARE OBSOLETE, AND THERE IS A LACK OF SYSTEMATIC PROGRAMS OF INDUCTION, (2) THE MANAGERIAL REVOLUTION IN EDUCATION IS INCREASING THE IMPORTANCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS, AND (3) THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT CHAIRMAN CAN FULFILL A LARGER ROLE ONLY IF HE IS GIVEN PREVIOUS TRAINING IN PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
