186 Eckles: This is recorded on the morning of July 17, 1972. Interview between President Emeritus Frederick L. Hovde and R. B. Eckles of the Department of History in the Executive Building at Purdue University. This interview is for the Purdue University Archives. Hovde: Well, President Hovde, we were talking last time about legislature and relations with the state. Let's start out this morning with problems the president encounters with his faculty. Well, obviously, in colleges and universities the function of the president and the board of trustees is to do everything within their power to enable the so-called faculty or the theachers of the institution to do hheir jobs most effectively. If you assume that the sole purpose of the institution is of course, to teach and to do research and to preserve knowledge and to discover new knowledge. Then those things that contribute to the search and the work toward those objectives is of course the work of the management and the administrat~on. For my part, my relationships with the faculty as a whole, the faculties of the divisions of the university. r, and with faculty members as individuals has always been very cordial and very happy. In general I personally have always had great admiration for the first-class teacher and scholar, the scientist, the creative mind, and wherever it existed in the University, I always liked to do whatever I could to help that individual ' or group of individuals.
