Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues(性别问题).

　　Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.

　　Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.

　　“Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. “She’s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she’s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.”

　　1. Which might be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Harvard named its 1st female president.

　　B. History of Harvard University changed.

　　C. Debates on female equality ended.

　　D. Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian.

　　2. Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?

　　A. She is the 28th president of Harvard University.
