<p>Certainly an accomplished man! Two thoughts/questions, but please understand that it is not my intention to offend anyone as I ask them.</p>
<p>Why would he ‘waste’ such impressive an medical background to push papers, balance budgets and shmooze alums? What does Dartmouth see in him to offer him such a position? Guess what I’m really asking is…What does it take to be the President of a top-drawer institution of higher learning. </p>
<p>Again, he’s clearly an impressive man with outstanding medical credentials and having taught at Harvard Med for a number of years he is, no doubt, an excellent teacher who has outstanding leadership skills. Guess I’m just surprised that he’d want to be an administrator and remove himself from direct contact with students and medicine.</p>
