<p>Northwestern University just announced that Morton Schapiro, the popular president of Williams, will be taking over for Henry Bienen. Bienen several months ago announced his intention to retire after a very productive 14 year tenure. </p>

<p>Should be a great fit for Northwestern. It’ll be exciting to see some new blood circulating in Evanston and Chicago. I suspect faculty, students, and alumni will all be thrilled with the selection. </p>

<p>Cappy Hill of Vassar?
Anyway, good riddance.
I saw him speak once. It was very long, very self-important and he went off on almost everything. Seemed like there is no specific agenda for this guy.
Now, when is Anthony Marx’s turn?</p>

He’s going to become Obama’s right-hand man as our new Secretary of Education.</p>
