	Lewis Terman Summary
		Terman followed the 1,500 children at later times in their childhood and in adulthood for the rest of his life, with follow-up surveys conducted in 1930, 1947, and, posthumously, in 1959 when the individuals were 17, 35, and 45.
		Lewis Madison Terman (born 15 January 1877 in Johnson County, Indiana, died 21 December 1956 in Palo Alto, California) was a U.S psychologist, noted as a pioneer in cognitive psychology in the early 20th century at Stanford University.
		Lewis Terman was the father of Frederick Terman, who, as provost of the Stanford University, greatly expanded the science, statistics and engineering departments that helped catapult Stanford into the ranks of the world's first class educational institutions, as well as spurring the growth of Silicon Valley.

	Memorial Tributes:
		Frederick Terman was born on June 7, 1900, in English, Indiana, but moved with his family in 1910 to the Stanford University cam- pus where his father, Lewis M. Terman, became Professor and Head of the Psychology Department.
		Terman certainly qualified as a leading educator, although one would have to say that he was not a good lecturer he was warm, but shy, and no orator.
		Terman described the ideal relationship, which was achieved in the Stanford area, as a "modern community of scholars" whereby, through continuous cooperation and interchange of ideas between the university and its surrounding industry, an important intellectual community could arise that would encourage the growth of industry.

	Creating a Twentieth Century Technical Community: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Frederick Terman helped to shape the relationships among individuals, firms, and institutions in Silicon Valley, creating a community that has encouraged continuous experimentation and technological advance for more than half a century.
		Terman sought to strengthen both the university and local technology-based industry by building a "community of technical scholars." In his words: "Such a community is composed of industries using highly sophisticated technologies, together with a strong university that is sensitive to the creative activities of the surrounding industry."1
		Frederick Terman's brilliance lay in his ability to envision and foster a technical community that transcends the boundaries between individuals, firms, and other local institutions--and one that balances the ongoing tension between individual autonomy and collective endeavor.

		Terman was thus able to attract bright new faculty and students.
		Terman could always tell how the new young firm was doing: ``If the car was in the garage, there was no backlog, but if the car was parked in the driveway, business was good.''(Note 6) Their first large order was from Walt Disney Productions.
		Even as a youngster, Terman had an entrepreneurial instinct; during the holidays, he would collect mistletoe in the hills and sell it to Stanford faculty wives, who were deterred by poison oak.(Note 7) If Terman had not contracted tuberculosis, he probably never would have joined the faculty at Stanford.

		Terman and a handful of his close academic friends believed that the university would be he key to postwar industry.
		The second key component of Terman’s recipe for success was to increase the science and engineering faculty in key areas where funding could be attracted—he called this his program for building “steeples of excellence.” Terman pursued projects he thought could be “self-financing” and would generate their own momentum of sustained growth.
		Terman encountered resistance by some faculty who thought federal funding should be avoided in order to remain independent, and his policies were opposed by critics concerned that the primary occupants of the Industrial Park were companies funded by military contracts.

	'Exploiting a Wonderful Opportunity'
		Recently returned to Stanford after his wartime stint at Harvard as director of the government-sponsored effort to develop countermeasures to enemy radar, Terman looked at Washington and saw "a wonderful opportunity, if we are prepared to exploit it." Here were the funds that the University needed to improve its reputation as a research institution.
		Terman, in fact, advocated blurring the boundaries between the University and the government, advising that Stanford pay faculty salaries with federal contract funds and use freed University dollars to invest in equipment and staff that might attract additional government support.
		To Terman, industry was not an alternative to the federal government but rather an essential leg in a triangular relationship: university-government-industry.

	Frederick Terman
		Son of National Academy of Sciences member the late Lewis Madison Terman, Frederick Terman achieved perhaps as distinguished a reputation for his work in electronics and education as his father who was credited with development and widespread adoption of the IQ test had in psychology and education.
		Frederick Terman had a profound influence on the lives of many others, as well as on his profession, his technical specialty, his university, and indeed his country, as his many awards and prizes make clear.
		Terman's own inventions and contributions to the state of the art can be better understood by recalling that in his early days the way vacuum tubes amplified was poorly understood.
