Thanks to a reader for noting this article about the search for Dartmouth’s next president.

Former and current college presidents, administrators, professors and possibly a member of the current Bush administration could make it onto the Board of Trustees’ search committee’s list for a successor to College President James Wright, who will step down in June 2009. The committee will be announced in early June.

…

The search committee will likely consider several candidates from other Ivy League institutions’ recent presidential searches, including Dartmouth’s last search. Williams College President Morton Schapiro was a finalist to succeed former College President James Freedman in 1998, according to the prominent Williams “Eph” blog, and will potentially be considered in the current search.

It is not clear if the The Dartmouth has another source for this speculation besides my post. And, even though The Dartmouth got our name wrong, EphBlog appreciates the compliment. No such thing as bad press!
