Gwynne-Timothy said that he and his sister, Diane, independently made the decision to apply for the Rhodes. "There was no reason at all to think we would both make it to the finals," he says.

The last brother-sister team to win Rhodes Scholarships? Benjamin B. Sherwood '85-86 and Elizabeth D. Sherwood '81, both of Eliot House and Beverly Hills, California.

Cabot House Newlyweds

The latest Harvard couple is finding marriage "extremely pleasant," so far, according to Cabot House Master Myra Mayman who celebrated her three week anniversary this weekend with her new hubby, Alexander A. Bernhard.

A senior partner at the Boston law firm Hale and Dorr, Bernhard attended Harvard Law School--which makes him "quasi-legitimate," according to Mayman.

The wedding was quite the Harvard affair, with a guest list that included the Derek C. and Sissela Bok as well as Radcliffe President Matina Horner. Reverend Peter J. Gomes, minister at Memorial Church, performed the traditional wedding service, which took place in the ballroom of the Agassiz House. About 100 guests were present.

The bride wore a "very simple floor-length shirtwaist dress, pink silk with gold thread," the bride said yesterday. The couple spent eight days honeymooning on the Caribbean island of Nevis.

The marriage was the first for Mayman, but the third for Bernhard. Mayman said philosophically, "If I was going to bother, I might as well go with a pro."
