Last July, Mark L. Putnam left a decade-long career at Northeastern University, in Boston, for a much different kind of leadership post. For his first job as a campus president he sought out Central College, a religiously affiliated institution with about 1,500 students in a town of just 10,000 in southeastern Iowa. And like so many presidents, Mr. Putnam began writing a blog.
