After an exhaustive eight month search for a new President, the Ripon College Board of Trustees announced the appointment of William R. Stott, Jr. to the post. Stott’s career consists of admin- istrative and teaching positions at Fordham University and most re- cently, the position of Vice Presi- dent and Dean of Student Affairs at Georgetown University. Aside from his duties as President. Stott also teaches courses in Shake- speare. On a personal level. Stott enjoys ornithology, sketching, sailing, and wood carving. A devoted advocator of the liberal arts education, Stott leads Ripon College in its liberal arts tradition. He claims that as President, the primary concern is the students and the faculty — along with fund raising, endowment, financial aid, and faculty compensation. To date, Stott has implemented improvement of the building and grounds, unlike the previous ad- ministrations, is working on long range goals for the college. • •• • Because of his commitment to the liberal arts education, the Crimson staff dedicated the 1986 edition, “New Directions” to Ripon’s tenth President, Wil- liam Stott.
