Levin is not the longest serving president in the ivy league (if his term began in 1993 as indicated by the article). Franklin HT Rhodes of Cornell University, for one, served 18 years from 1977 to 1995. I believe it should be "the longest serving ivy-league president still in office" Ll 19:19, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rename/move to "Richard C. Levin"

I suggest this article be renamed "Richard C. Levin" in accordance with how he is listed in the historical listing of all Yale presidents. I'm baffled as to why this person's nickname is being used rather than his formal name. Another Richard, Richard Nixon, is not listed as "Dick Nixon". My guess is that the article may have been written by one of Levin's friends, to whom it seemed natural to call his buddy Rick. But a Google search for yale "richard c. levin" -rick reveals a long list of official Yale university releases that refer to him as Richard C. Levin, then specifying his professorship and other positions. Does anyone object to changing the article's title to "Richard C. Levin" and then mentioning (Rick) in the first line?
