康奈尔大学荣休校长Frank H. T. Rhodes在“校长的艺术”一文中说：“大学的传统美德——理性、诚信、公正、尊敬、教养、共享、规训和勤劳——是那些成功的大学校长将要拥抱和践行的价值……校长是一所大学的价值观的个性化体现。成功的大学校长视此为义不容辞的责任。”(the traditional virtues of the academy – reason, integrity, fairness, respect, civility, community, discipline, and industry – are values that the successful president will embrace and embody…… the president is the personal embodiment of the institution’s values. The successful president accepts that high obligation) cited from Frank H. T. Rhodes. The art of the presidency. The Presidency, Spring 1998.
杜克大学校长Nannerl O. Keohane在“给校长更多的权利？”一文中说：“我们的目标应该是通过严肃认真地-而不是装模作样地-与其他的负有责任呢或对我们的学校感兴趣的人戮力同心地合作来行使我们当政的权利，并整合来自各方的观点形成一个照顾到所有人利益的愿景……除非这个目标时刻在后面激励着我们的工作，否则我们将形不成愿景，也不能够服务好我们的学校。”（Our goal should be to use the power of our office in serious – not cosmetic – collaboration with others who have the responsibilities and interests in our institutions and to bring the partial views in a vision of common good……[U]nless this goal stands behind and inspire our work, we will be deficient in our vision and unable to serve our institutions well.） cited from Nannerl O. Keohane. More power to the president? The Presidency, Fall 1998.

The president is the only person on campus who has the opportunity to consult with everyone; it’s his or her way of trying to gain consensus, or at least consent.）cited from Clark Kerr. Past triumphs, future challenges. The Presidency, Winter 1999.
