Epps sometimes championed student calls foraction, including the recent demands for a newstudents center, even though many otheradministrators called this idea unfeasible.
Epps advocated for the building--which he saidshould be called College Hall--to accommodate therecent growth in the number of studentorganizations, from 90 in 1980 to over 240 lastyear.
Epps has been involved with some of thesegroups on more than a purely supervisory basis. Hewas a member of the Harvard Glee Club during the1950s and '60s, and to this day sings with them attheir football concerts.
And after dealing with what Epps calls the "hotpotato issues" of his early years as a dean, thestudent center proposal has allowed Epps to leaveon a high note.
In recent years, even Epps' more controversialstands seem to have been forgotten.
