...Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John W. Gardner), snared hefty foundation grants, nearly tripled the faculty (to 73), increased enrollment by more than 50% (625). He also broadened the curriculum to include ethics seminars and other subjects, built a vigorous research program from scratch. And what was once a California rich man's school also took on an international scope.
