An institutional analysis of Kalamazoo College written by an Intern in the President's office is presented. Examined are such aspects of the college as the board and its major committees; the operations of the President's office; students, faculty, administration, and staff; community involvement; institutional data; budget data; institutional policy; and the social, political, and academic climates. The three critical areas are identified: (1) institutional research does not have a natural tie to the computing facility and usually compiles data in a piecemeal fashion; (2) there is an attitudinal factor that prevents the college from diversifying--the college makes a national effort to duplicate its similarities; and (3) the college is experiencing a serious retention problem.
