 '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.
Stanford would conduct research sponsored by Washington; industry would draw on this work and on Stanford-trained employees to develop technology for the government.
Stanford's rise to prominence and its pioneering relationship with high-tech industries prove the shrewdness of Terman's vision.
