With the exception of Kenneth Pitzer (short, turbulent term) and Gerhard Casper (hired in the wake of the indirect cost debacle), Stanford's history has been to hire Presidents with Stanford connections, either as a student, as a faculty member/administrator or both.  I think we should expect the same for Hennessy's successor.
