title: [Reflections of a professor emeritus on the problem of succession].
abstract: The organisation of the academic career is incomplete in many ways. Too much emphasis is put on scientific research. Very little instruction is given in teaching and none at all in administration and managing a whole group of people. Therefore, a young physician appointed head of a department is confronted with many duties which he may not be able to cope with. It is suggested that candidates for an academic career should attend special management schools, as do bankers, for example.
