Rise of Stanford & Silicon Valley Prewar: Big East Coast institutions dominate
› RCA & AT&T patents, Harvard & MIT research› Stanford regional & struggling, West Coast industry small
Varian-Hansen klystron: Turning point for fame, $ WWII: Terman & Hansen go east, emerge as leaders
› Big labs at MIT & Harvard (but not Stanford) Postwar: New experts, technology, gov’t funding
› Terman strategy: New labs, keep classified sponsorship
