The presidency of the University of California set me on a large stage. Its domestic and international cast included government officials and legislators, alumni and donors, diplomats and heads of state, scientists and scholars, business leaders and heads of the nation’s major foundations, presidents, vice-chancellor, and rectors of the world’s leading universities…Foremost in my mind was the cause of free universities everywhere and the essential values on which their well-being depended.
