...were replaced were understandably bitter, and none more so than the staff of the old San Francisco hospital. Stanford will support the hospital only for another year while staff members try to find a charitable organization interested in keeping it open. After that, the hospital is on its own. Its 162 fulltime staffers and its 520 part-time volunteer clinicians (most of whom have sizable city practices) must either move or commute to Palo Alto or lose their Stanford affiliation.

Says Dean Hoopes, sometime English teacher at Harvard, Yale and Stanford: "To a degree probably unmatched anywhere in this country, the students will find themselves responsible for their own education through independent study. Our aim is to render the professor dispensable at the earliest possible moment. Our university is a place of the mind, and the mind is an activity, not a repository. In this spirit we invite students to come and learn with...
