　　　　In order to provide human resources that can cope with the internationalized world today, we would argue for a need in cooperative measures in education utilizing communications networks and we would like to 　　　　　　urge Stanford faculty to consider and discuss feasibility of forming a cyber campus consortium with Japanese private universities.

3. Implementing the Proposed Cooperative Measures and its Ramifications
