In an interview with The Crimson last month, Lewis reiterated comments he had made at an April meeting of the Committee on House Life (COHL) that the policy would remain substantively unchanged through the duration of his tenure, adding only that the policy would likely be "tweaked."
Lewis, who oversees the House system as dean of the College, has pledged to give blocking size more formal consideration over the summer. He hopes to have the decision made by early next fall to allow first years as much time as possible to form appropriate-sized blocking groups.
Although Lewis refused to indicate his intentions, he said smaller blocking groups would afford the College increased flexibility in creating gender balance in the Houses. Reduced blocking group size would allow the College to lower the acceptable range of gender ratios that govern housing assignments.
At the end of March, Lewis announced the appointment of the Kielys' successors--Brazelton Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School Judith S. Palfrey '67 and husband and co-master John G. "Sean" Palfrey '67, clinical professor of pediatrics at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 sends a second letter on the College's alcohol policy to undergraduates, signaling the University's more stringent regulation of student drinking. An initial letter on the subject went out over the summer.
