Dorothy Buffum Chandler

Chandler served as a regent of the University of California from 1954 to 1968, during its period of most rapid growth, when the system grew from five to nine campuses.

She attended Stanford University, where at a school dance she met Norman Chandler, eldest son of the family that had published the Los Angeles Times since 1883 and was a significant social and political force in the area.

Her father, Charles Abel Buffum (later mayor 1921-1924), and her uncle, Edwin, opened the first of what would become the 16-store chain of Buffum's department stores.
