Associate Dean of the College Martha C. Gefter watches over the College's annual budget, paying particular attention to personnel matters and to dorm conditions. Gefter does most of her work behind the scenes, but is considered one of the most efficient administrators in University Hall.

There is also the ubiquitous Assistant Dean of the College John R. Marquand. He is the Dudley House senior tutor, secretary to the Ad Board, secretary to the Faculty, and an adviser to a handful of freshmen. Marquand probably knows more about the ins and outs of Harvard, either through his experience with its many facets or through gossip, than any other administrator. He prepares reports for the Ad Board and the Faculty but is perhaps most famous for his daily trips to campus hangouts to sip sherry.

The assistant dean for the House system, Thomas A. Dingman '67, a preppy, helps draft and implement the rules on upperclass housing both for dorm residents and the handful of off-campus students. Dingman comes under fire each spring for the disputed House lottery system.

Marlyn Lewis '70, another assistant dean of the College, is the unofficial women's advocate at Harvard. She has been the point woman recently for female student complaints of sexual harassment. Many feel that, even after the publicity surrounding three harassment cases, Harvard has ignored the problem. But Lewis, who has limited power, receives praise for her efforts at conciliation. She has also been involved in lobbying for a separate Women's Studies concentration.

But Dean of Freshman Henry C. Moses is the one who will squire you through your first year at the College. Although you're never quite sure what he's doing, and you may see him less than you see President Bok, you can rest assured that Moses and his staff are monitoring your activity to analyze freshman behavior, or if you're engaged in conduct unbecoming a Harvard student, probing your record to determine disciplinary action. Moses' office sits right behind Hurlbut, so Union dormsters beware.
