"The Gulf Oil stock decision seems to say that we will not sell our stock," he said, "but at the same time, having made that decision, we have to be socially responsible, to support disclosure resolutions and the like--when the corporation hasn't made previous disclosures, when it's not just a lot of unnecessary work."

Faculty:

M. COLYER CRUM, Williston Professor of Investment Management (Business School). "An institutional investment manager or endowment manager who chooses not to get involved at this point in time is going to have a tough row to hoe," Crum told an economic conference three years ago. "I don't think the students are going to let him off the hook...increasingly you are going to have to vote against the managers."

ROBERT DORFMAN, Wells Professor of Political Economy. Dorfman has written on linear programming and the economic status of the aged.

MATTHEW S. MESELSON, professor of Biology. Meselson's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1969 helped bring about President Nixon's decision that year to end the stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons. Meselson later warned Senate committees that American use of tear gas in Vietnam contributed to the breakdown of taboos against employing such weapons.
