Despite its formidable responsibilities, the college or university presidency is not the kind of position that lends itself to self-selection. This study is concerned principally with exploring the utility of the stratum-situs schema suggested by Morris and Murphy in analyzing the career patterns of the presidents of various types of institutions of higher education. It was found that the most typical move to the presidency involved an intrasitus stratum advance; only about one-third of the presidents studied had ever had any experience outside of the situs of Education and Research
