...Leverett Houses also received mention for being the top three Houses in improvement in recycling and trash reduction. Mather, represented by Environmental Action Committee (EAC) co-chair Faon M. O’Connor ’08, Green Cup representative John T. Watson ’07, House Committee (HoCo) Co-Chair Andrew B. Artz ’07 and HoCo Treasurer Nitesh Banta ’08, was also awarded $1,037. Robert F.

According to Leng, Currier residents currently study in Cabot House’s library, a reading room in Pforzheimer House, or Hilles library.
