Adds Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II, usually a Johnson supporter: "In effect, we are moving toward a kind of informal...
...beauty of the rolling, rocky site, which rises from a grassy plain to craggy hills overlooking Monterey Bay. Students ride bikes, wear khakis and Bermuda shorts, enjoy a warm informality with their teachers. "I can walk around here and call half the people by name," says bearded Freshman Harris Freeman, "and that to me is worth more than all the cultural advantages of a big university...
