Gone are the days when Adams served as a haven for gay students, Currier magnetized black students, and Kirkland swarmed with jocks.
The study also found that while athletes made up nearly half of Kirkland, they comprised less than five percent of Adams.
Robert J. Kiely, the Adams House master at the time, remembers that because of the artsy character of the House, the director Peter Sellars would roam the Adams dining hall looking for talent.
“Many students—would-be actresses, singers, poets, sculptors—told me that they would not have remained at Harvard had it not been for Adams,” he adds.
He described the congregation of gay students in Adams House under the old system as “particularly pernicious.” [CORRECTION APPENDED]
