...taken on the motion, however, because President Pusey wanted to discuss its wording with Hoffmann, and to bring it up again at the next Faculty meeting. Subsequent statements by Pusey and by Deans Ford and Glimp have established a commitment to such a committee; but its structure, and its scope, remain unclear...
...said that the magazine "might run as many as 50 free ads a year." Within a few months, we had requests from 500 educational institutions.

He also broadened the curriculum to include ethics seminars and other subjects, built a vigorous research program from scratch. And what was once a California rich man's school also took on an international scope. Out of a conviction that Stanford "has an obligation to help management education develop in other countries," he set up a Stanford-run business school in Peru in 1964, has brought foreign students to 15% of total enrollment at home...
