"Do you really want to run a Lexus dealership in Akron/Mobile/Pasadena/etc. or do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to help change (even a tiny toty part of) the world?"

Perhaps a generational thing, but I view the above as one of the problems of Stanford - both internally and externally.

I'm just grateful to have attended Stanford and met the lifelong friends that I did.  Would I have met great, interesting people who would become lifelong friends at another university?  Yes . . . or at least I'd like to think so.  But the odds are pretty high at Stanford, and that was true even back in the 80s.  BTW, am meeting up with frosh roomie and wife, a couple other folks from Donner - and buddies from the frat (and law school) - in Evanston.  Can't wait for a fun weekend!  And perhaps that, above all else, captures what Stanford has meant to this fan.
