As the College welcomed hundreds of new faces to the Yard, two longtime Greenough proctors left Harvard to pay special attention to one new arrival.
Matt J. and Joyce L. DeGreeff drove to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston on Saturday, where Joyce DeGreeff gave birth to the couple's first child, 6 lb., 6 oz. Jeremiah Robert.
"He wanted to move in with the freshmen," Matt DeGreeff said.
He said he awoke at 4 a.m. on Saturday morning to find that his wife had been experiencing contractions.
But since the baby was not due for another three weeks, the couple decided to wait before rushing to the hospital.
They waited until 10 a.m., when they decided that Joyce was, indeed, in labor.
"We got to the hospital at 11 o'clock, and the baby was born at 12:33," Matt DeGreeff said. "Labor is never easy, but it went quickly for Joyce."
"This is the highlight of my life, and we are very blessed," he said.
