Abstract	Institutional stature, its development and determination, and strategies for its enhancement in colleges and universities are discussed.

Chapters are as follow: "Definition and Dimensions of Stature" (higher education and public perception, what stature is, and what its dimensions are); "Changing Public Attitudes toward Higher Education" (societal conditions and public opinion, changing public attitudes and perceptions, psychological well-being and ill-being, and postulates derived from research); "Attributes of Academic Organization and Performance" (distinguishing characteristics of the academic organization and performance attributes);"Practices to Enhance Stature in Complex Organizations" (for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and principles for application to colleges and universities); "Organizing Colleges and Universities to Enhance Stature" (strategic assessment, allocation of resources, outcomes assessment and image management as leveraging strategies); and "Summary and Conclusions."
