McLean-Foreman recounts his accomplishments in a modest and unfailingly even, polite tone. Aaron C. Barth ’04, McLean-Foreman’s roommate during their freshman and sophomore years, says McLean-Foremean is a stereotypical Brit. “Alasdair is very calm and thoughtful about everything he does,” he says, “but he also has an extremely sharp, subtle British wit.” Barth reports that McLean-Foreman frequently tosses around British slang (“bollocks” is a favorite), and says his natural British accent helped...
