...spreading alms of the Ford Foundation last week embraced five U.S. universities in a $46 million hug. The aim: to give each region of the nation more great private institutions. The winners: California's Stanford ($25 million), Indiana's Notre Dame ($6,000,000), Maryland's Johns Hopkins ($6,000,000), Colorado's Denver ($5,000,000) and Tennessee's Vanderbilt ($4,000,000).
