...Lewis P. Geyser '57, Hawaii lawyer and real estate developer, who endowed a University Professorship now held by Henry Rosovsky, former dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences: "I knew [in 1979] that I would give: I just didn't realize how the campaign would focus my thinking about Harvard over the next few years, or how that focus would result in my giving far more than I ever expected or, for that matter, thought myself capable of doing . . .

With the talk of Bok's departure, there are also rumors of successors. Geyser University Professor Henry Rosovsky, who stepped down June 30 as dean of the Faculty, is considered a top contender by one New York-based education writer...

The tremors interrupted the underground-waterstreams that feed the geyser from mysterious sources and diverted them into new channels. Visitors to Yellowstone Park are not entirely blameless either: over the past six months, the geyser has spewed up coins, bottles, a door hinge, part of a metal clipboard and random fragments of oak furniture...
