Rudenstine, his wife Angelica Zander Rudenstine, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles, and Dunster House Co-masters Karel F. Liem and Hetty Liem attended the services for approximately half an hour Thursday night.

The service, which lasted form 7 to 9 p.m., was conducted by Duc. According to Phuong Doan, whose son was a friend of Ho's, the service focused around the good Trang's spirit would do in another life.

"He said there is too much worry, too much sadness," Doan said the monk told the mourners Thursday night.

"You move to the next stage, to a better position," Doan continued. "There is another life. She has a bright future."

Doan also mentioned the possibility of creating a scholarship in Ho's memory, an idea that was also brought up in the University-wide meeting on Thursday.

"To remember the girl, we have to do something," he said.

The Thursday shuttle to Ho's wake was filled with her friends, most of them members of the Harvard Vietnamese Association (HVA). Ho was vice president of HVA from April 1994 to April 1995.

When the shuttle bus arrived at the funeral home and the television cameras appeared, the comfortable aura in the shuttle disappeared.

"Nobody stop," one member of the group said, referring to the media. "Just go in. Don't look at them."

The group disembarked silently and filed into the funeral home.

After the services ended Thursday night, the students emerged form the funeral home crying and embracing each other.

As the group huddled together, some students tried to shield their weeping friends from television cameras. Others moved within the group hugging and quietly talking.

The students waited in full view of the press while a shuttle was brought around to the front of the funeral home to chauffeur them back to campus.

On Friday afternoon, a memorial service was conducted in Memorial Church by Plummer Professor of Christian Morals Peter J. Gomes and Associate Minister in the Memorial Church Preston B. Hannibal.
