Keeper of the Books
Richard De Gennaro's successor as Larsen librarian of Harvard College is Nancy Cline, formerly dean of university libraries at Pennsylvania State University, whose collections, on 21 campuses, total 3.5 million volumes. At Harvard, Cline will oversee two-thirds of the nearly 12 million volumes in the University library, plus scores of special collections.

"I am attracted to the richness of the collections at Harvard, collections which have been carefully nurtured over centuries," Cline said. "There is an unparalleled commitment toacquiring a range of library resources that match the University's academic aspirations." She also spoke about the importance of developing "digital libraries," one of her principal priorities at Penn State. On a less rarefied plane, the Crimson reported that academically inclined undergraduates hoped to secure Cline's support for keeping at least one facility open around the clock.

Development Developments
As the new director of University Development, Susan K. Feagin oversees both the University and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) development offices, making her the point person for the $2.1 billion University Campaign. With $1.26 billion raised as of June 30, Feagin sees three challenges. First is continuing to work "to make sure [FAS's] part of the campaign ends successfully." Second is "focusing much more on the University Fund-the $265 million of money to help cross faculties and to give the president some additional flexibility." And third is "working with my colleagues in the other tubs to help them meet their fundraising goals."

Roger Cheever '67 succeeds Feagin as associate dean of development for FAS. Both changes came about as Thomas M. Reardon moved up from the development office to become vice president of alumni affairs and development July 1, succeeding Fred L. Glimp '50, Ph.D. '64, who remains active raising funds as a special assistant to the president (see "Money Men in Motion," March-April, page 84). Glimp's friends have planned a party for him November 2 at Lavietes Pavilion (as Briggs Cage is now known); for information call (617) 495-3747.

Masters of the Houses
James J. McCarthy, Agassiz professor of biological oceanography, and his wife, M. Suzanne (Tilsworth) Mccarthy, an assistant editor at the Journal of Comparative Neurology, are the new Masters of Pforzheimer House. Shortly after the appointment was announced, James McCarthy appeared in a Crimson photograph sporting a T-shirt bearing the Pforzheimer crest that read, "Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away (otherwise known as The Quad)."

Across the Quad, James H. Ware and Janice (Wisse) Ware have taken up the reins at Cabot House. His workaday commute will be longer than the Quad-to-Yard schlep many students complain about: he is Mosteller professor of biostatistics and dean for academic affairs at the School of Public Health. Should their new charges behave immaturely, Janice Ware will be perfectly equipped to meet the challenge. She is an instructor in psychology and directory of pediatric psychology at Children's Hospital.
