Wilmarth S. Lewis

The Yale president must be a Yale man. Not too far to the right, too far to the left or a middle-of-the-roader.

Profound with a wit that bubbles up and brims over in a cascade of brilliance. You may have guessed who the leading candidate is, but there is a question about him Is God a Yale man
