The Education Professor and the President's People

Résumé

I suppose l speak for all of you when I say that the theme of this conference is intriguing and challenging. As we individually pursue our careers in professional education, it is inevitable that we would reflect from time to time on the status of our profess ion, on where it stands in relation to other profess ions and to other university studies. Yet, in spite of the continuing interest in this question, there has never been, so far as I can remember, a conference convened to discuss this topic. Accordingly, l think we owe a debt of thanks to Professor Evelina Orteza for identifying this problem as a proper focus for a conference, and to Dean Robert Lawson for organizing it.
