...with a loggia that looks out from a suite reserved for the President himself. Indeed, part of the bait that the University of Texas offered L.B.J., who says that after he leaves the presidency "there is no place I'd rather be than on the campus," was the deanship of a new school of public service to be located in the ancillary building. The lid also contains studies that ring a sunken patio; scholars will descend into the bookstack from above while the public climbs up from below to see the showcases chronicling the Johnsonian...

M.I.T.'s Johnson, who moved up from the deanship of its Sloan School of Management to replace the retiring Julius Stratton, calls Caltech a "helpful collaborator and competitor."

He created a separate department of molecular biology and a division of bio-medical sciences, established a "distinguished professor" rank with high salaries to attract top talent, and overhauled the sociology department...

He explained that there has been an increase in both the number and quality of applicants since he assumed the vice deanship in 1959. From 1680 applications that year, the volume has more than doubled to its present level...
