Nothing but blue skies
The large crowd that turned out for Mike Bolton's
farewell party last week included James Greenleaf,
associate professor of business, and Lou Wagner,
formerly of the development office. President
Peter Likins praised Bolton, former vice president
of advancement, as a "superstar fundraiser" able
to project a cheerful optimism through any
difficulty. "The sky can be pouring rain," said
Likins, "but Mike persists in looking through the
drops until he spots blue sky." Bolton, vice
president of public affairs, is taking a position
with the senior staff of Safeguard Scientifics Inc.
The selection of Lehigh's next president,
now underway, will involve two groups: the
executive committee of the Board of Trustees
and a campus committee representing faculty,
administration and students. They will be
assisted by William Bowen, vice chairman of
Heidrick & Struggles, an executive search
firm. The announcement came from Ron
Ulrich, chairman of the board of trustees, in a
communication to campus earlier this week.
As in previous presidential searches, the
executive committee of the board of trustees
will make the final selection following ongoing
consultation with the campus committee.
The following individuals have agreed to serve
as members of the campus search committee
for the search for the next president:
Raymond Bell, professor of education and
social relations and chairperson of the department of education and human services; Mark
Bickhard, the Henry R. Luce Professor in

student in civil and environmental engineering; Matthew Melone, assistant professor of
law in the department of business and economics; and David Williams, the Harold
Chambers Professor of Materials Science and
Engineering and chairperson of the department.
Members of executive committee,include:
Pat Battin, retired, former president of the
Commission on Preservation and Access,
Washington, D.C.; Bill Clayton, senior vice
president of Smith Barney, Florham Park,
N.J.; Gene Mercy, chairman of The Granite
Capital International Group, New York; Bill

PP&L, Allentown; Ted Scheetz, chairman of

York; Hap Wagner, chairman, president and

and Frank Walsh, chairman of the board of

The goal of the search process is to select a
new president by next spring, with a starting
date at Lehigh next summer. Individuals
interested in suggesting criteria for selection or
to nominate candidates for the position, should
contact a member of the campus committee or
Linda Mery in the president's office, who will
receive correspondence and maintain confidential files for the campus committee.
