...Lewis?? deanship, though, was anything but calm. Soon after taking office, he oversaw the consolidation of the Phillips Brooks House, angering many in Harvard’s social services community with his autocratic management style and draconian reforms. Lewis was the driving force behind the randomization of upper class housing, a move which has won plaudits from many, but which Lewis himself has said he suspects would be instantly overturned in a student referendum.

For his part, ever concerned about the greater good of the University, Lewis only said that his departure was “unexpected...
...long before I begin hearing from the University Development Office, and Harvard begins to remind me how much it gave me. In fact, that process already began to some extent with the Senior Gift.
