Lewis Releases Five-Year Report on College

Dean cites advising, space, MAC as problem areas, but satisfaction rate holds steady

After five years on the job as Dean of the College, Harry R. Lewis '68 has written a report about the strengths and shortcomings of his domain, dropping a clue to students about which aspects of College life will likely see changes in the near future.

The dean's 37-page report identifies flaws in the current academic advising system, details the College's problematic lack of space and bemoans the inadequacy of recreational athletic facilities like the Malkin Athletic Center (MAC).

But on the whole, Lewis says, the College is in good shape.

Yet Lewis co-chaired a 1994 committee that put together a similar report, which included along with 44 other specific recommendations the suggestion that Houses should be randomized.

By 1995, Lewis was dean of the College and randomization was well on its way to implementation.

Lewis' latest report provides a rare comprehensive look at which College initiatives the dean will likely pursue in the future.

The Advising Problem

Lewis' report is grounded in statistics--figures gathered from surveys given to graduating seniors each spring.
