(Final Chapter) History of Boston State College By Dennis McNamee I feel honored and privileged to be writing this piece, for it is the last chapter in the history of Boston State College. Barring devine intervention, by the time this yearbook goes to print Boston State College, the most economically viable school in the state, boasting the highest cumulative grade average of state schools last year, will have been absorbed by the University of Massachusetts. Due to Governor Edward Kings ' Reorganization Plan, Boston State no longer exists as a separate entity. A school that has greatly served the Commonwealth for One Hundred and Thirty Years has been closed to save the taxpayers of Massachusetts money. This reasoning is ridiculously ironic since Boston State is the least expensive State College to run. The Board of Regents, a peculiar body of businessmen and bankers charged with implementing and controling the Reorganization Plan, worked out with the closing of Boston State in virtual secrecy. The head of the Board, Chancel- lor Duff, was even given a raise as a reward for a job well done. Saving the taxpayers money indeed. To make matters worse, both students and faculty were kept in the dark about the future of Boston State. Teachers were and are unsure about their job status. Students were and are still worried about their future once the school closes. Governor King has made an embarrassing mess of what was supposed to have been a feather in his political cap in his drive for re-election. As anyone reading this knows, Boston State isn ' t going down wi thout a fight. Many students and faculty have made loud and valiant efforts to save the school but they have been in vain. Fm not naive enough not to know that this kind of political manuevering doesn ' t happen all the time. The small fish are swallowed by the sharks; but that doesn ' t make it right. The politicians are closing my school and it ' s a damn disgrace. Having said that, here is a brief history of a school that deserved a better fate.
