...super-scientific poll conducted among 40 Harvard students in Annenberg Hall and Lamont Library Café, students were asked to choose from four photographs to identify the dean. After a grueling but fair selection process, Pilbeam’s picture was placed among those of British actor Sir Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins in “The Lord of the Rings”), musician Elvis Costello, and folk-singer-turned-fundamentalist Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens).
