...papacy, Kelly repeatedly confesses, is too shadowy for even the most intrepid scholar. Of St. Evaristus (c.100-c.109), for example, he says, "Nothing is in fact reliably known about him." St. Felix I (269-74) "is one of the obscurest Popes, even his dates being conjectural." Then there was Pope Joan, whose entire existence is conjectural.

Bok '51 (no relation to Derek Bok) in the official election packet for that governing body, which is sent to all alumni. That letter criticized the campaign of three graduates running for the board by petition and on a pro-divestment platform. A blatant attempt to influence the election, the letter elicited strong protests from alumni. Yet, not only did University officials defend their misguided attempt to tamper with an election, Derek Bok failed to present...
