"I think I've concluded that there really is no meeting of the minds between the College and the final clubs," Epps says. "There is a fundamental difference."
The split became official in December 1984, when the College severed all ties with the clubs. Since then Epps has spearheaded the College's assault against the clubs--somewhat ironically, since his son, Josiah T. Epps '98, was head of the punch for the A.D. Club as an undergraduate.
Epps' relationship with the clubs remains "strained," says Douglas W. Sears '69, executive director of the Graduate Interclub Council. "He has...reminded us over time that we are not welcome to pursue our business on Harvard property."
But Sears says Epps is nevertheless "a very empathetic and fair human being, purely on a personal basis."
Recently Epps also instituted the system of race relations tutors in the Houses, designating specific tutors to assist stu- dents in dealing with racial and ethnicproblems.
