As Ford Foundation President McGeorge Bundy notes, "The private university that does not choose an entrepreneur for its president is bound to be sorry." Yale has had little reason to be sorry that it chose Kingman Brewster, whom U.S. Education Commissioner Harold Howe calls "one of the most lively voices in higher education today."
