    I wish to congratulate the University for choosing Dr. France Cordova as the new president. I formerly with the Office of Women in Higher Education where we sought to assure that more women were chosen as presidents of our nation's colleges and universities. I am especially pleased to hear this news, since my Father graduated from Purdue in the early 1900's. Best wishes to the University and to Dr. Cordova--a quality person for a quality institution.
