A number of masters who were not able to make the meeting spoke separately with search committee members and staff.
Lowell House Master Diana L. Eck met with search committee member Herbert S. "Pug" Winokur '64-'65 and Quincy House Master Michael Shinagel met with Mark C. Goodheart, secretary to the Corporation and a key search aide.
Shinagel said that undergraduate housing should be a priority for the new administration.
"The main concern we've had has been overcrowding in the Harvard housing," he said.
Shinagel added that he felt the recently concluded $2.6 billion Capital Campaign did not include the houses.
"There ought to be some attention paid to undergraduates," he said.
M. Suzanne McCarthy, co-master of Pforzheimer House, said, "I was there to contribute what I could for undergraduate living, education and life--to emphasize the College within in the University structure."
