...suspect that those decision-makers will take action upon this singular ples. What we hope for is a show of concern on the part of the greater academic community who must certainly sympathize with our reaction to this blatant inconvenience. Jeffrey D. Cohan '74 Larry P. Rothman...

His career was a textbook example of the rise of a 'patrician in the snug embrace of the American Establishment. His father was a clergyman who migrated to the U.S. from Britain and became Episcopal bishop of Connecticut. His mother was an heiress, daughter of a family of Canadian whisky distillers. Young Dean attended Groton, Yale and Harvard Law School. He married Alice Stanley, his sister's roommate at Wellesley...
