...When Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III retired after last semester, Harvard announced his administrative position would go with him. In its infinite wisdom, the College lost a man whose central concern was aiding student groups that had little money and less space and replaced him with three associate deans, each with a cushy salary and cozy office.
