The hospital as unique organisational unit is proposed, based on the theory of the existence o f a dual authority system within the hospital. The place of the ward sister in the hospital is explored with emphasis on her co-ordinating function. This function of the nurse is not limited to nursing activities alone but refers in particular to her role as co-ordinator of patient care. If the nurse is to retain this special position in the hospital organisation a more structured approach towards teaching of administrative skills is advocated to enable the nurse to create a therapeutic milieu in the ward.

GordonAda, an outstanding virologist and immunologist,was the first to demonstrate that the influenza virus genome is composed of RNA, not DNA. In immunology he provided evidence that refuted the template theory of antibody formation and performed elegant experiments to prove Burnet's Clonal Selection Theory. His administrative skills created a research environment that nurtured the Doherty-Zinkernagel Nobel Prize in viral immunology and allowed him to assist WHO and others greatly in developing effective vaccines.

When Tanzania and Uganda had gained their independence and Kenya was about to gain hers, it was clear that a large number of Africans would be finding themselves placed in positions of considerable responsibility in the public service before they had had the opportunity to acquire any substantial amount of experience in the management of public affairs. Among those who played a prominent part in considering how this problem could best be tackled was the Secretary-General of the East African Common Services Organisation. A. L. Adu had previously served as Commissioner for Africanisation in Ghana and had later been head of the civil service in that country, and he had considerable experience of similar problems in West Africa. He had also been one of the first Africans to attend the Imperial Defence College in the U.K., and had been impressed by the contribution which training of the staff college type could make to the development of administrative skills in those whose experience at the lower levels of the administrative ladder had necessarily been limited.

Frank Fenner made major contributions to our understanding of viruses through his research on ectromelia and on the co-evolution of the myxoma virus and its rabbit host. Then in later life he applied his formidable administrative skills to promoting the study of the environment as the first Director of the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies at the Australian National University. Fenner was a key member of the World Health Organization team behind the eradication of smallpox. He made a very impressive contribution to the literature in microbiology and his textbooks on virology are used throughout the world.
