Saller Fairwell


Richard Saller, Provost, steps down. He was Dean of SSD prior to being Provost, and an eminent Roman historian. (Classic Roman historian remark: "The budget of the Provost is greater than all of the Roman Empire.")

A class guy. What was so clear from this good-bye is how deeply, personally, professionally he has been admired by all in attendance.

And, there was a cavalcade of great speeches and performances, including a hysterical tribute by Hanna. That would be Mrs. Hanna Holborn Gray to you. Cherished. Watch out Ellen Degeneres.
