At Duke, a Yale-made president 12.05.08
DURHAM, N.C. — Five years ago today, Richard Brodhead ’68 GRD ’72 was struggling to get back to New Haven as snow blanketed the northeast. Brodhead, who was at the time in the middle of his 11th year as dean of Yale College, had been on Duke’s campus here in balmy North Carolina to interview one last time for the Duke presidency. As he headed back to New Haven, to what he had called “the greatest job in higher education,” he was coming to terms with the fact that he was finally going to leave the college he had called home since he first entered as a 17-year-old freshman.
