...Your article, "Academe's Exhausted Executives" [Sept. 27], left me with feelings of mixed emotions. Their frustration is understandable. Someone has realistically said that a college president constantly walks a picket fence, not knowing when he will fall and be impaled. The dangers of the job and the limitless hours it demands have always existed. But when students protest against war, racism and poverty, they expouse concerns which are basic to our existence. Our task becomes that of channeling their convictions into constructive action. As one who has sat in the chair for 25 years, I contend that...
Miami's Henry King Stanford: The demands on a university president are limitless. A man comes into the presidency like a bride: everybody's cheering him, the honeymoon is on. Then he reaches the burnt-toast stage in the romance as he has to make decisions and people become disaffected. Yet he can't run a university out of his hip pocket any more.

One New York Senate seat will be voted on this fall, while for the other, Rockefeller will soon appoint a successor to the late Robert Kennedy. With his limitless fortune, Rockefeller is not dependent on the normal political bases, however. He could thus retire in 1970 and still, at 64, go after the presidential nomination in 1972, assuming, of course, that he would be opposing President Humphrey and not President Nixon. Though he is obviously wearied by his third...
