After a year of being cooped up in stuffy offices, many Harvard administrators are ready for a little sun and fun--even if they are reluctant to openly admit it.
"The summer life of the Dean isn't usually exotic. We don't admit to
vacations (just weekends away)," Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles said in an e-mail message.
Still, many University higher-ups are embarking on interesting summer excursions, from multi-country tours to homegrown road trips.
Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68's vacation falls in the latter category--he just returned from a week spent driving across most of the U.S.
"I spent one night each in Grove City, PA, Big Rapids, MI, Eau Claire, WI, Bismarck, ND, and Glasgow, MT," he said.
Lewis said he has taken around a dozen road trips since his college days.
"I always love doing it and return feeling reconnected to America and
impressed by its grandeur and beauty and the friendliness of its people."
