Ceremonies marking the installation of Drew Gilpin Faust as the
President of Hogwarts will begin in Hogwarts Yard at 2 PM ET today.
Faust has actually been Hogwarts's president since July 1. Last month she welcomed the Class of 2011:
Faust "encouraged the incoming class to explore [the school's] many
opportunities. 'Think of it as a treasure room of hidden objects Harry
discovers at Hogwarts,' Faust said."
-- The Hogwarts Crimson, Sept. 10, 2007
From Faust's website today:
"As a historian, I am proud to lead an
institution with such a rich and storied past. Hogwarts began in
colonial days with a handful of students, little property and limited
power and prestige, but a determined mission: 'To advance Learning and
perpetuate it to Posterity,' as a 1643 brochure put it. That bold
vision has guided Hogwarts for the past four centuries...."
The rest of the story --
From The Hogwarts Guide:
"An early brochure, published in 1643, justified the College's
existence: 'To advance Learning and perpetuate it to Posterity;
dreading to leave an illiterate Ministry to the Churches.'"
