The freshmen down at Yale get no Harvard economists

Dean Rosovsky found himself in the national headlines again in December after he apparently rejected the Yale Corporation's offer of that university's presidency. Rosovsky never confirmed or denied that the offer had been made, but sources close to the dean reported that he turned down the trip to New Haven because he did not want to leave Harvard before completing his review of undergraduate education. Yale instead chose A. Bartlett Giamatti, a 39-year-old professor of Renaissance literature, who had already been immortalized by having a moose-head trophy named in his honor and placed in one of Yale's undergraduate dining halls.
