Over the last two decades he has audited 143 courses – Anthropology to Statistics, Yoruba hasn’t appeared on his radar. He and Phoebe enjoy Fellows dinners, betting on Yale athletics, and supporting the Phillips Fund; and looking forward to Senior/Fellows Croquet and other College events. As a College Advisor, he is pleased to march with Fellows at Commencement and see the graduation of former advisees. Four years is such a short time. |
