Section II - Administration 
Animal care facilities in the institutions sur- 
veyed are not organized uniformly. Obviously, the diversity 
in function of these institutions accounts for some of the 
differences. However, even among institutions of the same 
type, there is much variation in the administrative organi- 
zation. Ihe situation in medical schools varies from those 
having a centralized animal care division, directly under 
the Dean, and headed by a director with professional quali- 
fications in laboratory animal medicine and husbandry, to 
those institutions with completely separate animal quarters 
for each department. The administration of these individual 
animal colonies is entrusted to a staff member in each depart- 
ment. An example of the diversity of administrative arrange- 
ments can be found in three medical schools, located in the 
same general geographic area. The central animal facilities 
of School A are administered by a professional director res- 
ponsible to the Dean, through a faculty committee. School B 
has no central animal facility. The responsibility for pro- 
curement and maintenance of animals, equipment and facilities 
rests with each department. School C, midway between these 
extremes, has a central animal facility under the direction 
of a professionally qualified person, reporting directly to 
the Dean. However, only one-third of this school's research
