Additional Information

Through personal communication with Abdurrahman Satman (PhD in Petroleum Engineering, 1979), we have learnt Stanford TSA always existed between September 1974 and May 1980. Although the dates are unclear, Abdullah Atalar (PhD in Electrical Engineering, 1978) was the president prior to Abdurrahman Satman. Umran Inan (PhD in Electrical Engineering, 1977) and Gürcan Aral (PhD in Electrical Engineering, 1979) were among the active members of Stanford TSA.
We have also learnt Stanford TSA had around 20-25 members. They used to have weekly radio broadcasts about Turkey and related news on Stanford radio for half an hour. They used to subscribe Cumhuriyet newspaper of Turkey, which was delivered one week after its publication. They used to organize "Turkish Night" every year. And they became the champion in Intramurals League with their team named Anatolia.
