Stewart Made Adams House Acting Master

Zeph Stewart, associate professor of Greek and Latin, will be acting master of Adams House next year during the sabbatical of Reuben A. Brower, the present master of the House.

In confirming his appointment, Stewart, who was Allston Burr Senior Tutor in Adams House from 1955 to 1960, declared yesterday, "Having been there for five years, I know what the House feels like, and it's as though I'm returning home."

Brower announced his sabbatical plans earlier this Fall. He will spend next year at the Ford Center of Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Palo Alto, California. Albert J. Guerard, professor of English, spent last year at the center which is affiliated with Stanford University.

Teaches Two Courses

Author of Fields of Light, Brower currently teaches Humanities 6, a course designed to encourage students to become more responsive readers of literature, and English 162, which studies literature since 1890.

Although Stewart was reportedly one of the most popular tutors in Adams House history, he doesn't regard next year's assignment as a stepping stone to a permanent position as a House Master. "There have been about five acting Masters in Adams House during the last 20 years alone, so the job is not necessarily tantamount to becoming a master," Stewart pointed out.

Stewart said he feels too much a part of the House's present structure and its policies to initiate any innovations while Master.
