...vice president oversee the College and all of the graduate schools, as well as all other University affiliates, from this unassuming perch. Across the way, in University Hall, more impressive and dominating by far, sits the College administration--the building's name is meant to confuse you. Here Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Henry Rosovsky and his team make the decisions that will mold you life at Harvard, and the odds are if you visit any offices at all you'll visit University Hall...
Rosovsky has made a national name for himself as the architect and promoter of the Core Curriculum. His interest in undergraduate education, however, does not extend so far as to include actual contact with many students, and even if it did, his mountains of work as dean of the Faculty would still occupy him. As chairman of the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL), he's in touch with students from each House and with freshmen representatives, too.

Urbane, relatively friendly, and one of Harvard's most important black officials, Epps manages the inchoate collection of student organizations here from his busy office. He's also the head disciplinarian for undergraduates, carrying out whatever sentences the Ad Board hands down, so no matter how amiable he is, he might not be the man to go to in a pinch...
...Freshman Dean's Office is a small satrapy by Harvard standards--and, having recently moved out of University Hall to Prince House, on Prescott St, it's out of the mainstream of the College administration. But as the only office devoted entirely to the care and feeding of freshmen, you're assured more attention here. Henry C. Moses, dean of freshmen, brings a gung-ho enthusiasm to his job that excites and pleases many students--usually those who are as enthusiastic as he is--but sometimes turns off students with real problems who find no succor in his blandishments...
