I have nothing but admiration for the Selection Committee, the BOT and the University Community for making what looks like a great selection. There will no doubt, be some in our Colgate community who will have a problem with a President who is gay. As beneficiaries of a great Colgate education, I hope that all of us can openly discuss all of the attributes of our next leader. The fear of some posters to be direct can be forgiven. I'm prouder today of what Colgate stands for than I've ever been.

go gate!

"Notre Dame to stop ducking us." I truly hope this comment was made in a joking manner. Let's try to compete at the Patriot League level first. There are some high level D2 & D3 teams that could compete with us in certain sports, which should raise eyebrows.
