There is little space in which to do it. And there is always the nagging fear of unintended oversight. This is the classic dilemma that causes me, as it does most writers to shy away from writing acknowledgments. Nevertheless, in a project of this magnitude, one must try. This project's beginning can be traced to Professor Thomas R. Flinn, who pointed out the void in this area, and suggested, "You are the one to do it." Its execution can be attributed largely to Professor Francis R. Aumann, whose sense of obligation to his students, coupled with his capacity to provide blunt and salty commentary when needed, provides the kind of constancy that stimulates scholarly achievment. The project's feeder roots have received much nourishment from Professors Frederick W. Maguire, Randall B. Ripley, and Philip M. Burgess. These roots grow, in turn from the tap root that began its growth when I was an undergraduate before World War II. The advice and counsel of Professors Emeritus Harvey Walker and E. Allen Helms, in those days as well as in more recent times, is well-remembered and appreciated. I have also received valuable assistance in this study from three teaching colleagues, and a librarian with an uncanny knack for finding needed reference materials. They are Frederick J. Bunte, a sociologist who was most helpful in my research of the sociological concept of role J. Sam Ringold, who guided me in the area of social psychology; Martha Corrodi, a typing teacher who graciously put her skill and leisure to work for me to provide crucial help in meeting deadlines; and Allyn Ehrhardt, whose search for the hard-to-find is as unerring as his flies cast upon the water. Obviously, I am greatly indebted to five former Ohio governors. The candor and cooperation of John W. Bricker, Frank J. Lausche, C. William O'Neill, Michael V. DiSalle, and James A. Rhodes provides the solid empirical foundation on which this study rests. Let this final paragraph stand, then, for two purposes. One is to reassert my grateful acknowledgment to all of those whom I have mentioned. The other purpose is to assure them all that while I appreciate their help, I, alone, assume full responsibility for what I have done with it.
