Summary

It might be thought that the selected candidates would be the woman most likely to benefit the school. But opinions differ, and interviewing boards are made up of human beings with different foibles. The three candidates are seen again. Views divide too sharply on the merits of the two with ideas and character. In the end, a compromise, it is the dull, the 'safe' one who gets the job.
