Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 92: March, 1992 Editor: I have often retold the story of a friend freshman year who was lost find ing a class. A tweedy man asked where she was going and offered to lead her there. He inquired how she liked Brown so far and she answered with a long list of homesick complaints. The man lis tened sympathetically and when they reached their destination, my friend introduced herself. The man shook her hand, introduced himself as Howard Swearer, and walked away chuckling at her stunned expression.
