It’s official: Drexel University Names Fry As New President

From PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3):

The president of Franklin & Marshall College is stepping down to take the helm of Drexel University.

Drexel officials announced Wednesday that John Fry will lead the private Philadelphia university, which serves about 22,000 students.

Fry has served as president of Franklin & Marshall since 2002. The selective liberal arts school in Lancaster, Pa., has about 2,100 students.

Fry replaces Drexel president Constantine Papadakis, who died last April of complications from lung cancer.

Former trustees board chairman C.R. “Chuck” Pennoni has been serving as Drexel’s interim president since then.

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
