At a fete celebrating his eight years as dean of the College Thursday, Harry R. Lewis ’68 was compared to the Frankish emperor Charlemagne as attendees enjoyed jokes at the expense of the top administrators.
Lewis greeted, reminisced and laughed with the guests for nearly an hour. However, the top administrators who were responsible for Lewis’ March ouster, including Dean of the Faculty William C. Kirby, were notably absent.
“Your being here today is a gift to me,” Lewis said. “I didn’t want this to be about me. I’m just one of the crowd in service to the College.”
After Lewis concluded his remarks, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes made light of the fact that Lewis was in fact hosting the party for his staff.
“Dean Lewis is under the impression that this is his party,” he told the crowd.
