...people you are most likely to come in contact with are the various deans affiliated with the college whose job it is to deal with students. Henry Moses, dean of freshmen, was a freshman himself last year, and has made a noticeable effort to keep his name in the newspaper by organizing activities like pajama parties, a freshman literary magazine and regular group therapy encounter sessions. Some may call it summer camp, but almost all agreed last year that Moses had made it a happy experience...
Henry Rosovsky (or "Roso," as he is more commonly known), is dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He could have become president of Yale University or the University of Chicago last winter, but he didn't want to. Instead, Rosovsky worked on revamping Harvard's General Education program. (See story in this section.) Some say that Rosovsky would like to be the next president of Harvard--what other reasons would there be for turning down an offer like that from those nice colleges? P.S.: Rosovsky doesn't talk to anybody...
...stands 6 ft., 4 in. tall, and is probably the only administrator who can take Professor Emeritus John Kenneth Galbraith (also 6-8) on, one-on-one.

Basically, Fox is responsible for picking up all the loose administrative ends of things that have to do with the College. He is chairman of the Administrative Board, which decides disciplinary cases, and uh, he helps Dean Rosovsky...
Archie C. Epps III, you will find, is dean of students. He actually talks to students, and last spring he was the only administrator who tried to get into University Hall when it was shut down during a South Africa demonstration. But afterwards, Epps came back and made a pass at answering questions about the University's position on divesting itself of its South African investments. Of course, there wasn't much to say about that...
...traditionally the time when Yardlings engage in a sort of mass baptismal rite, tearing around the Yard with anything that will hold liquid and dousing everything that moves. Traditionally, at least one major administrator or religious leader is blessed by the exuberant water-wielders each year causing the Dean of Freshman to decree some kind of foolish injunction against further water-fighting. Pay it no mind, your duty is to tradition and Harvard Freshman Week without water would be such a bore...
