Factors in the consideration of departments for a professional college

Editor's Note. Following the preparation of his manuscript, A Concept of Departmentalization in a Professional College, John Ramseyer worked at refining and simplifying his ideas on departmentalization. In that process, he developed a series of Factors in the Consideration of Departments for a Professional College. Since these factors constitute a refinement of Professor Ramseyer's thinking on the topic, they are published as a sequel to the preceding paper. The editor has retained those factors that extend ideas in the previous paper and that appear to be generalizable among professional colleges and among universities. 4. Now that the need for processes for control and coordination is more apparent, tradition and specialization of field make administrators less able to comprehend the work of individual departments sufficiently to impose policies and personnel and less able to rely upon institutional unity of purpose and homogeneity
