...Paulson was raised in Barrington, Ill., outside Chicago, where he developed an abiding interest in wildlife and the environment. (He was later Chairman of the Board of the Nature Conservancy.) He went to college at Dartmouth, where earned the nickname "The Hammer" as a member of the school's football team.

...John McCardell, President Emeritus of Middlebury College, spearheaded the Initiative, which now counts presidents of Dartmouth, Duke, Tufts and Johns Hopkins among its members.

And other exclusive schools have followed their lead. Williams and Amherst colleges in Massachusetts, North Carolina's Davidson College and Virginia's William & Mary all replaced loans with grants and work-study aid starting last year.

(1.85 m) former Dartmouth football star with a permanently hoarse voice and a direct manner, Paulson doesn't go out of his way to be ingratiating. He does go out of his way to keep the conversation going. "I spend a lot of time on the phone," he says. "I find I assimilate information by talking to people and getting inputs from many people. I always said to my kids, 'Don't assume.' I say to the people here...
