Boston College . . . Not a college and not in Boston. Ask any student, freshman through senior, why he came to B.C. and the answer you’ll most likely hear is, “1 chose B.C. because of its nearness to Boston, its strong academic reputation and its Catholic affiliation . . . plus I fell in love with the campus.” These were our reasons for selecting B.C. in 1978. During our four years many qualifications were added and yet these four basic criteria have remained constant. Over the years, B.C. has also changed. One hundred years ago, Boston College was a college in Boston for the people of Boston. B.C. has since then accepted the challenge of a changing, dynamic and demanding world. The college is now a university, offering extensive programs in numerous areas of study. Yet it maintains the personal touch of a college and its commitment to a liberal arts education. To encourage a greater diversity, B.C. now even recruits from across the country and overseas. Boston College . . . not in Boston? Chestnut Hill offers respite from the fast pace of city life and yet Boston’s influ- ence is felt. What student hasn ' t been to Quincy Market or spent an evening at Top of the Hub? While offering an escape from campus life, Boston also presents every cultural, social and academic opportunity imagineable — theatre, res- taurants, internships, nightlife, marathons, parades . . . Bos- ton is truly a visible part of the university. Boston College has been a unique experience for each one of us. Our hope is to spark your memory through photo- graphs and essays in order to bring back the experiences, friends and growth that have occured while at Boston Col- lege. For although “Boston College ... is not a college and not in Boston” it is something special!
