Biographical/Historical Sketch

Stokes joined the Stanford University News Service as an academic writer in 1978; prior to that he had served as British consul-information in San Francisco (1962-78). He was known as Stanford's Boswell for the hundreds of news profiles he wrote on faculty and staff. He received his bachelor's degree at the University of London in 1941 and served with the Royal Navy and the British Foreign Service before moving to San Francisco in 1960. He died in 1986.
