STANFORD, Cal.--Stanford University President Richard Lyman said two weeks ago he will resign in mid-summer to assume the presidency of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Lyman, who was educated at Swarthmore and received his M.A. and Ph.D from the Harvard School of Education, joined the Stanford history department as a tenured professor in 1958. He entered the administration in 1964 and became president in September, 1970, after former President Kenneth Pitzer resigned in the wake of student riots.
Provost Donald Kennedy is a strong contender to replace Lyman, The Stanford Daily reported.
