After introducing her to Bean, the proctor politely asked her to make an exit.
She later received an e-mail from Assistant Dean of Freshmen Wendy E. Torrance, who told her they should meet to discuss her "attendance" at the Grille.
At the meeting, Torrance did not ask her how she got into the Grille or if she had been drinking.
"She just said, 'I worry about you...You're going to get arrested, and when it gets to that point, Harvard can't do anything for you.'"
She received no official warning after the incident, and her proctor later apologized for what happened.
"He told me, 'If you told me you were going to the Grille, I wouldn't have accepted Dean Bean's invitation," she recalls.
The student's proctor corroborates her account of the events but would not comment further.
Lewis dismisses charges that proctors operate as spies for the College looking to catch deviant students, but he says he understand that students might see the situation differently.
