Summary

"Ralph D. Gray examines the leadership of the university's first three chancellors and explores student life at a "commuter campus" and the gradual development of the school's sports program. He looks at the school's many centers of academic excellence, including medicine and biotechnology, and important enterprises such as the Center on Philanthropy and the service center for Internet2, which have positioned the university to play a major role in the future of the state."--BOOK JACKET.
