"I extend my congratulations to Larry Bacow on his selection as the next President of Harvard University. His stature as a widely admired leader in higher education makes him an inspired choice to lead Harvard. After the remarkable achievements of President Drew Faust, the selection of Larry Bacow assures a bright future for Harvard. Like so many others, I have benefitted from Larry’s insightful advice. From his new position, he will continue to be a strong voice in defense of all that universities stand for. I wish my dear friend the very best."
