Change is coming

Meet your new president?
Looks like he's been the frontrunner since the fall. The announcement will happen later today.
The blogs seem to suggest he's "small-college"-minded. That's a plus. And I appreciate his many years at Dartmouth. But I will briefly note a couple quick reservations:
-Tufts is a big university. Big universities are different from Dartmouth, I hope.
-Bharucha left for Tufts in 2002 apparently, when the SLI still reigned. Now, I am not suggesting he's unaware of the various major campus issues of the last 7 years (swim team cuts, Board of Trustees battles, SLI, Zete, Beta, blitzwatergate, p!edges breakdancing on the green), but he's been at a remove from them. In an era when schools are cracking down or cutting "traditional" aspects of campus life, Dartmouth has let up in that area.
-Jim Wright is an incredibly decent guy. I believe he made Dartmouth a better place during his tenure, in no small part because of his character. Bharucha has big shoes to fill.
