Among them were the Cape Cod Conservatory of Music, The Registry of Motor Vehicles, Civil Defense, The National Guard, and The Coast Guard Reserve. In the meantime, after many years of work— much of it by our own Senator Stone— The Gen- eral Court, in 1958, set up the machinery for a statewide sys- tem of community colleges which ultimately resulted in the present school, one of a group of three authorized during the second year of the state pro- gram. In October, 1960, almost a year before the first student ar- rived, Dr. Irving H. Bartlett ar- rived in Hyannis to begin the job of recruiting faculty and stu- dents and supervising renova- tion and reconstruction of the building. The following Septem- ber Cape Cod Community Col- lege opened its doors to its first students, and began a new chapter in the rich educational history of the old buildings. ?: ' ■ '

DEDICATION Beginning in a far from luxurious office in the dormitory build- ing, Dr. Irving H. Bartlett has built a college. What we are today is in no small measure an extension of this one man. Our physical plant, our faculty, our student body, and our spirit all reflect his ' ' intellectual gifts, his administrative ability, his sound judgment, and his good humor. It is with profound appreciation that the editors dedicate the first FORESEER to Dr. Irving H. Bartlett.
