James O. Freedman was a law professor and dean at Penn, and a president of Iowa and Dartmouth. Those of us with roots in the hinterland remember him as an Iowan of statewide popularity, who – with the assistance of a southern-fried football coach – turned a Big Ten also-ran into a big-time college athletic powerhouse. I always suspected that Freedman was delighted to leave Iowa for someplace with a smaller football stadium. He retired from Dartmouth to Cambridge, Mass.

Thank you, David, for posting this. Your note and the New York Times obituary are lovely tributes to a person who made the academy better.
