News that the search panel had settled on Faust broke late Thursday night, but a president cannot be elected with the Overseers’ approval. Their consent was widely expected going into yesterday’s meeting. The overseers began arriving at Loeb House—the office of the governing boards—at around 10:30 a.m. “Look for the white smoke!” joked overseer Mitchell L. Adams...
