<p>Michael D. Smith, 45, [as the new Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences] will oversee Harvard College and the PhD programs. At Harvard, where he has taught since 1992, he is considered a devoted teacher and an affable colleague.</p>
<p>We can now be confident that Harvard College will be in good hands. (An apology in advance to my Harvard friends who, for at least a year, will have to endure my numerous bad jokes.)</p>
<p>harvard also recently hired princeton prof robert darnton to head its library system. and harvard law school already has a princeton grad running its show, to widespread acclaim. there's been a fair bit of movement both ways between the schools' administrations of late.</p>
