* The high rate of job mobility in academia inevitably produces changes in any list like this. Thus there are some errors of omission (e.g., new appointments) and commission (e.g., retirements).

** Schools ranked lower than Rochester by US News and World Report are excluded. Dartmouth is added so that all Ivy League schools are represented.
