The three purposes of the University?--To provide sex for the students, sports for the alumni, and parking for the faculty.
-- Clark Kerr, Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley (1952-57)
Abi, this comment comes to you from the Charles de Gaulle airport...
There is a campus in UC Berkeley named after Clark Kerr, which is on a side-route towards LBNL on the hill.
Yet another quote attributed to him: He was fired from the UC-Chancellor position by none other than Ronald Reagan (then governor of California) and his famous statement while leaving office was that "He left office just as he entered it: fired with enthusiasm".
...and don't forget the fat paychecks for chancellors...
