KENNETH S. PITZER President of ,the University Stanford welcomes Kenneth S. Pitzer as the new President of the University. Mr. Pitzer is not new to California, however, for he was born, raised and educated here, receiving his B.S. from California Institute of Technology in 1935 and his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1937. He also holds an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Wesleyan University H9621 and an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Berkeley Cl963j. He taught at Berkeley from 1937 until 1961 where he served on the influential Faculty Committee on Committees and the Budget Committee. He was assistant dean of letters and science during 1947-48 and dean of the College of Chemistry from 1951 until 1960. In 1961 he became the President of Rice University. During his presidency Rice experienced remarkable growth in the size of the faculty, in undergraduate enrollment, in graduate enrolhnent, in the number of Ph.D.'s conferred, and in the number of honors received by graduating students. Mr. Pitzer also has made a name for himself as a man who understands students and social needs. During his presidency new programs were introduced at Rice to create greater involvement between the University and the community, and in 1964 a long-standing ban oniintegration was defeated by court order. Thus President Pitzer comes to Stanford well equipped to handle the needs of the modern university. President Pitzer's list of memberships is long and prestigous and in part includes membership in the American Chemical Society, the Faraday Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Philosophical Society. He is a trustee of Pitzer College and the Rand Corporation, and he is a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. President Pitzer and his wife, Jean, have three children: a daughter and two sons The students of the Stanford Law School welcome President Pitzer and offer theif support and cooperation,

Robert Glaser is a member of that class of unsung heroes in the field of educational administration whose titles are prefixed with that onerous six-letter word acting None of the fanfare accompanying a departing or incoming university president is given to the man who bears the burdens of the 'flnterregnumf' yet the mere brevity of tenure does not in any manner lessen the responsibilities and magnitude of the problems. However, the smooth-functioning of the educational machine fondly known as Stanford University during the period between the departure of former President Wallace Sterling and the arrival of President Kenneth Pitzer should be held to be a tribute to Robert Glaser, Dean of the Stanford. University School of Medicine. Raised in Missouri, Dr. Glaser received his S.B. in 1940 and M.D. magna cum laude in 1943 from Harvard University. After serving his internship and residency at the Barnes Hospital and the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, he taught at Washington University in St. Louis, where he served as associate dean of the Medical School from 1955 until 1957. He then went to the University of Colorado as dean of the School of Medicine, but 1963 he returned to Boston to become president of the Affiliated Hospital Center and to serve as professor of social medicine at Harvard. In 1965 Dr. Glaser came to Stanford and the progress of the School of Medicine since then has been a matter of public record of which the entire university should be proud. Dr. Glaser is President of the Association of American Medical Colleges, an appointee to the National Advisory Committee on Higher Education, and a member of the 21-man Board of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The proverbial woman behind the great man in this instance is his wife, Helen, also a medical doctorq The Glasers have three children - Sally, Joseph and Robert. ROBERT J.
