Wake Forest University

Christian Century,  Nov 15, 2005  

An acclaimed scholar of American religious history took the helm of a major university last month when Nathan O. Hatch was installed as the 13th president of Wake Forest University. Hatch, 59, comes from the University of Notre Dame, where he climbed the ranks from junior faculty member to provost over 30 years.

During that time, he made his mark as an expert on the evangelical piety of colonial America, particularly with his prize-winning 1991 book, The Democratization of American Christianity. Though scholars often become administrators, few religion specialists have in recent decades stepped into a major university's top job. Hatch will oversee a Baptist-heritage campus in North Carolina of about 4,000 undergraduates and 2,400 graduate students.
