Excerpt from Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 37: October 1940Subject to certain limitations described in this article, Oberlin's faculty are self-governing. Oberlin's teachers plan the course of its educational policies, play an important part in making appointments and in planning the budget for the year.In 1913, a faculty committee at Oberlin prepared a report on the mutual relations between the trustees and the faculty.

The presi dent and trustees hold the reins of power and exercise supreme control, while the professors are legally in the position of employees of the corporation. Compare the American professors with the scholars and scientists of Oxford and Cambridge. They are their own board of trustees.
