刁錦寰 (George C. Tiao/ George Ching-Hwuan Tiao) 《生逢其時》(Ben Chen)

 這個題目，台灣大學應該有博士生拿來研究，好好寫成論文

 1993年第一屆的台大校長遴選，

56位海內外學者發表聯名信推薦胡佛。

結果一共20位候選人，經過各方推薦，經過20位推舉委員的投票，第一輪最後選出了五位：前兩名：刁錦寰、胡佛，同樣得到11票。



第二波，經過很多操作吧

校務會議代表投票，陳維昭得到130票，

刁錦寰，55票

胡佛，36票

得到最多海內外學者支持的胡佛， 經過校務會議代表投票反而墊底？

我們的台大好神奇？

為什麼當年沒有人說：這是「卡佛案」呢？



刁錦寰，因為父母留學英國，生於倫敦。一直拿中華民國護照，未入美國籍。

“這點我可以掛保證，自己是以「一生中最後一份工作」的心情看待台大校長職務。”⋯⋯刁錦寰回憶參加第一次台大校長遴選

《生逢其時》是一本很有內容的口述回憶錄，交代了自己抗戰時期在上海重慶的生活，(中央研究院院士現存唯一在抗戰時期在重慶見過蔣介石的人），還有在台灣、美國的求學，也提到自己的一些好朋友：吳賢銘、沈君山（當兵的時候同在鳳山的炮兵學校，因此後來也捲入陳文成事件的溝通）。

談的最多的還是和統計、經濟等學術界的活動和一些研究機構的來往。
