One day after Lawrence H. Summers announced he was resigning as president in a standoff with the prestigious Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the campus seemed torn anew. Dr. Summers had been widely seen as a president who would serve 10, maybe 20, years and usher in landmark changes. Dr. Summers had also been expected to lead a $5 billion fund-raising campaign. Dr. Summers, an economist, had sought a major revision that he hoped would set a standard in American education. Some of his critics insisted that the school's governing corporation, concerned by his eroding support among faculty, pushed him out, despite his assertion that the decision was his own.
