What the president cannot—and must not—be is a merely charismatic and charming fundraiser who leaves each tub on its own bottom and lets each faculty do as it pleases. Harvard deserves more from its leader.We also hope that the committee seeks out a president who will understand the central role that undergraduates play on campus and prioritize the College accordingly.

Two minutes and 45 seconds later, Crimson attacker Greg Cohen came around the left side of goal and stretched past the Pioneer goalie, putting the ball into the bottom of the net for the win. The victory in the friendly confines of Jordan Field avenged a 2005 loss in Denver, a game which saw the Crimson leading 8-7 with 24 seconds remaining before two late Pioneer goals began a four-game Harvard skid. “I think...
