Based on the author's own experience as a professor of educational administration, this monograph is an argument for establishing a link between the humanities and instruction in school administration. Part I discusses the instrumental value of the humanities in administrative preparation and recounts the limitations of past attempts by the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) to incorporate the humanities. Part II is a discourse entitled "Chester Barnard's Conception of Authority Considered in the Context of Sophocles''Antigone' as adapted by Jean Anouilh." Part III is entitled "Dante's 'De Monarchia': An Early Italian Renaissance Backdrop for Thinking about Thomas Jefferson's 'Wall of Separation' Metaphor." Part IV discusses art and artists in their role as imagemakers of a zeitgeist and concludes by emphasizing the importance of cultural sensitivity in institutional leadership. The final part, entitled "Clio's Footprints in the Textbook Literature of Educational Administration," discusses the significance of historiography for understanding thematic trends in the development of textbooks on educational administration. An extensive bibliography is included. (TE)
