Trouble is, he is not likely to be there. With the exception of astronauts and veteran airline pilots, Fuller is one of the most traveled men in human history.

This season the football team won two of nine games with a lame-duck coach, but Scott claims little credit for the improvement. He agrees with President Fuller that it is too early in his four-year contract to pass judgment on Oberlin's athletic experiment. "The real verdict won't be in for a few years," Fuller says, "but if it does work, I'm sure many other schools will adopt the approach...
