...miles of famed Brookhaven National Laboratories, is the most exciting campus in the system. So new that the ivy is only about six inches up the red brick walls, it expects to challenge any university in physics research within a few years. Its $30,000-a-year President Toll is a theoretical physicist from the University of Maryland; his reputation-plus a $45,000-a-year salary-recently lured Nobel Physicist C. N. Yang to Stony Brook to head an Institute of Theoretical Physics that will have a $2,700,000 nuclear lab. Toll, who has also captured English Scholars...
