...rueful moment, University of California President Clark Kerr once defined his three main headaches as "sex for the students, athletics for the alumni and parking for the faculty." Now sex and sport seem simple concerns, compared to parking-for everybody...
...biggest migraines is Kerr's own hemmed-in, 387-acre U.C.L.A. campus. Los Angeles' notoriously deficient public transportation cannot deliver the university's mostly commuter students; yet those who drive are forbidden to park on neighboring streets.

At least, that is how the boys...
Character & Compassion. U.S. headquarters of the Rhodes scholarship program, Swarthmore is a mother lode of university presidents, among them California's Clark Kerr ('32) and Cornell's James Perkins ('34). Few colleges claim more names in Who's Who; few boast alumni so diversely successful-Novelist James Michener, U.S. Budget Director Kermit Gordon, Industrialist Thomas B. McCabe (Scott Paper), and Pitcher Dick Hall ('53), Swarthmore's gift to the Baltimore Orioles...
