I wonder if the next step at Stanford might be the hiring of an "Intellectual Strength Coach" for all the undergraduates who aspire to be Nobel Prize or Fields Medal winners or even just Supreme Court Justices? I suspect that in the average Stanford Freshman class there are far more people who are potential thought leaders than potential Pro Bowl players. Would the university be willing to invest $1million/year in such an individual?
