' llln, we P n V :' 5 ,tr - Now in his second year as President of Stanford University, Kenneth Pitzer has already shown the ability to respond with that rare combination of firmness, tact and intelligence to the myriad of diverse problems that confront todayis university. Born and raised in California, he received his B.S. in 1935 from the California Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. from Berkeley in 1937. He also holds an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Wesleyan University 09621 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 on 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 Presidentof Rice University. During his presidency, Rice experienced remarkable growth in the size of the faculty, in undergraduate and graduate enrollment, in the number of Ph.D.'s conferred, and in the number of honors received by graduating students. At Rice, as already at Stanford, President Pitzer 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 on intergration was defeated by court order. At Stanford President Pitzer should be commended for, among other things, his handling of the complex and dangerous SRI and Encina crises. 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.
