<p>... at a campus ceremony at 11:00am pacific time. I will keep you all updated. Caltech has conducted probably the most secretive presidential search in history by a top university, so there have been no leaks whatsoever. Even the trustees of the university who weren't on the small search committee are finding right about now.</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see whom we will have. It will be hard to top Baltimore...</p>

<p>Yes. A Frenchie.</p>

<p>I was hoping for someone more scientifically distinguished, but these things swing back and forth. Baltimore is a truly great scientist but could be cold and was perceived (I think incorrectly) as inattentive to the students. This guy really is quite charming and a good fund raiser. But no Nobel.</p>

<p>I'm a bit nervous about this...</p>
