	Former Stanford president, renowned chemist Ken Pitzer, dies (1/98)
		Kenneth Pitzer, a respected chemist and educator who served a brief, turbulent tenure as Stanford president during the late 1960s, died of heart failure on Dec. 26 at the age of 83.
		Richard Zare, professor of chemistry at Stanford, described Pitzer as "a giant among chemists and among educational leaders." Pitzer's scientific career focused on the broad topic of thermodynamics of molecules and the underlying explanation for a molecule's energy-level structure and heat capacity, Zare said.
		Pitzer graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 1935 and received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California-Berkeley in 1937.

	Introduction to USRA
		To develop further the concept of the LSI, the NAS created a committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Kenneth Pitzer to study NASA/University Relations.
		In the fall of 1967, the Pitzer Committee recommended the establishment of the LSI initially to be operated by Rice University under a subcontract with the NAS, but eventually to be operated by a university consortium.
		The Pitzer committee concluded that the pattern established at LSI could form the basis for the development of a much broader link between NASA and the academic community.

		According to his closest friends, his aim as president was to make Rice University as strong as Stanford, but without a medical school, and as outstanding as Princeton, but with women.
		Ken Pitzer and the Rice board secured two fundamental amendments to the university's charter: the first allowed tuition to be charged at Rice, providing funds for developing the outstanding faculty we have today; the second permitted the admission of racial minorities to the university.
		Coincidentally, as we remembered the accomplishments of Ken Pitzer, the university returned to court to seek new, important amendments to the university's charter.
