The development of basic theory and data on applications for use in the study of higher education was a major concern of the 1975 Annual Conference of the Association of Professors of Higher Education. Conference papers included: (1) administrative theory in higher education (Marvin W. Peterson); (2) the emergence of planning and management systems (Frederick E. Balderston); (3) the implications of faculty collective bargaining for administrative practice and theory (Kenneth P. Mortimer); (4) the constraints and demands of state agency development (Leon D. Epstein); (5) administering individualized education (Ernest G. Palola); (6) recovering elan in higher education (M. M. Chambers); (7) leadership and personal/organizational values in higher education (Charles M. Stanton); (8) more globally oriented higher education (Maurice E. Troyer); (9) new trends in law and higher education (Robert M. O'Neil); (10) current frontiers in law and higher education (David W. Leslie). (Author/KE)
