President John Hennessy presented his annual address to the Academic Council in two of Stanford's newest buildings - one devoted to the study of economic policy and another (still under construction) that will house the School of Engineering. Equipped with three dozen slides and a laser pointer, President John Hennessy played narrator, tour guide, campus historian and architectural expert on Thursday during his annual state-of-the-university address. As his stage, Hennessy chose the auditoriums of two of Stanford's newest buildings - one devoted to the study of economic policy and another (still under construction), which will become the headquarters of the School of Engineering . He delivered the first part of his address, entitled "Positioning Stanford for the Future: New Places and Spaces," at the John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building, new home of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research . After a brisk stroll across campus to the new science and engineering quad, he continued his address in the auditorium of the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center, an octagonal-shaped building with a terraced courtyard. The second part of his talk, which focused on new science, medicine and engineering buildings, was entitled "Positioning Stanford for the Future:" Extending the Legacy." While dozens of people set out on the cross-campus stroll before Hennessy left the auditorium - ushers appeared along the way to point everyone in the right direction - the president quickly caught up with the group at Memorial Fountain.
