The dinner, which drew about 120 people to Loeb House, the headquarters of the Harvard Corporation, was attended by Epps' family, University officials and faculty members, including President Neil L. Rudenstine, Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 and Warburg Professor of Economics, Emeritus, John Kenneth Galbraith.
Also in attendance were a number of students and alumni who have been especially touched by Epps during his 36-year tenure in University Hall.
According to Susan T. Cooke, coordinator of student activities, the Epps Fellowship will fund a seminarian--a religious leader in training who is not necessarily Christian--to work to encourage spirituality in the College community.
The endowment for the fellowship, hoped to total $250,000, will be funded by donations from many individuals Epps has known and worked with, Cooke said. The position will first be filled for the 2000-01 school year.
Epps said yesterday that he was very moved by the creation of the fellowship.
