Until now, development and alumni affairs have reported through different vice presidents. President Eisgruber ’83 has said that the two offices will have “independent and co-equal status” under the new vice president.PAW will continue to report for administrative matters to Margaret M. Miller ’80, deputy vice president for alumni affairs; her office previously reported to Robert K. Durkee ’69, vice president and secretary. Durkee and Miller will continue to sit on PAW’s board, and the magazine will remain editorially independent as stipulated by its charter.
