Dear Dr. Lamm: Congratulations on your election as President of Yeshiva University. It will be no small task filling the shoes of the late Dr. Belkin, but I am sure you will do an admirable job in fulfilling your responsibilities. This appointment must be a source of pride to you, especially in light of the long search to find just the right person to take on the job. Your achievements and reputation are a matter of public record, and I know you’ll bring the same excellence to Yeshiva University.
