History shows that the development of university extension has depended on faculty attitudes toward it. But little attention has been given to this point in Japan.

Therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate how the faculty of Hiroshima University accept university extension as their proper roles.

Findings are as follows:

(1) Great increase was recognized in community service activities by faculty members in comparison with the date of 20 years ago.

(2) The large majority of faculty members answered that University should promote university extension. About half of them replied that they should have charge of extension work willingly.

(3) But faculty had tendency to regard research as most important role. As a result, the function of university extension was ranked far lower than research and teaching in priority.

(4) As for the type of extension works, faculty members in science courses had more orientation toward "research places in trust".

(5) It was also ascertained that subject matter characteristics (pure area vs. applied area) and role orientation within discipline groups (cosmopolitanism vs. localism) had influence on faculty attitudes toward university extension.
