Douglas M. Knight, a 32-year-old assistant professor of English at Yale, will succeed Nathan M. Pusey as President of Lawrence College in Appleton, Wis.
Pusey resigned his post earlier this year to fill the Harvard vacancy left by the departure of James B. Conant.
Knight is a fellow of Saybrook College, and served as Secretary of the President's Committee on General Education which earlier this year proposed starting curriculum changes for Yale. Born in Cambridge, he attended the Western High School in Washington, D.C. and Exeter Academy. After a short stay at Rollins College he went to Yale, where he graduated with the class of 1942.
Lawrence is a privately controlled co-educational college of arts and sciences. Lawrence College's President before Pusey was Henry Wriston, now president of Brown.
