<p>A major piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education by alum (and @wesleyan97‌ contemporary), David Perry '95:

<p>Good piece. Thanks for linking.</p>

<p>Roth (I heard him speak now twice) is great but to @Circuitrider, don’t you think 7 years is enough and Roth is now likely to fly to his next perch, that was something I considered. He is a great advocate for LACs</p>

<p>@Englishman, you’ve established your t<em>r</em>o<em>l</em>l bona fides. Are you hoping to medal?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Ten years would be my prediction and it would coincide with the end of what is well on its way to being a hugely successful endowment campaign. One thing for sure, when he does leave, Roth’s successor will find a much more visible office with expanded possibilities as a bully pulpit.</p>

I thought he was certainly a more interesting president than Dougie B.

The bully pulpit bit is certainly accurate as well.
