Vannevar Bush The city and the University are participat- ing in an agonizing reappraisal of their purposes, their human atmospheres, their facilities for implementation of new ideas. Our proximity to great varieties of landscape has nurtured usg deserted Cape Cod beaches, mountains to the north, and villages long her- alded by painters and writers, are witnesses to a unique kind of diversity. At the same time, as we have learned to see our environment in many new scales of speed and magnitude, we find ourselves enabled to change it more quickly and more profoundly than ever before. To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. Henri Bergson To be called to the Presidency of Boston Uni- versity requires devotion, judgment, patience, experience, and other talents of the highest order. It is unique among institutions. It follows no beaten path, but blazes its own. Iohn L. Bates Governor of Massachusetts at the installation of Lemuel Murlin as President of Boston University, 1912. All the genuine, deep delight of life is in show- ing people the mud-pies you have made: and life is at its best when we confidingly recommend our mud-pies to each other's sympathetic con- sideration. I. M. Thorburn This book is a mud-pie made unknowingly by the class of 1966, over a course of four years. Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill Pedro Novak To President Harold C. Case, President of Boston Univer- sity, with gratitude for his leadership in the creation of an environment in which the intellect can perform.
