Claremont : Mudd President to Retire

D. Kenneth Baker, president of Harvey Mudd College since 1976, has announced that he will retire at the end of the academic year in 1988, when he reaches age 65.

A spokesman for the college said Baker announced his retirement more than a year in advance to give the board of trustees adequate time to find a replacement. He is the second president of the college, which was founded in 1955 and emphasizes engineering and science.
