Other house administrators of repute are Peeples (mildly terrifying but ultimately harmless), Superintendent David Simms, and Enoch, a Ghanaian table-tennis champion-turned-security guard. Ronald S. Sullivan and Stephanie Robinson were recently selected to assume the duties of House Masters in June, with Rosen and Sassanfar set to step down after a six-year stint at the helm. Sullivan (who met Barack Obama on the basketball court in their HLS days), and Robinson will be the first black couple to serve as House Masters at Harvard, fulfilling Winthrop’s longstanding commitment to diversity (it was the first...
