Speech presented to the Curry College Board of Trustees at a special meeting on September 17, 1987. Curry College, at its best, is one of the finest institutions in New England. We have the potential, but not the leadership. The leadership of our College may have had a dream, but that dream has faded. Fortunately, the students of Curry are not afraid to dream. We truly believe in the tradition of Dr. Samuel Silas Curry who said. Dare to do what you dream. Search your heart to know what you most desire to do; then do it, for you can become by perseverance what you long to be. We ' re here today to assure that our dreams become reality. In 1979, the students were promised growth in both image and revenue. To date, we have seen few of these promises realized. For past and present students of Curry College, this has proved to be of great frustration. Unfortunately, if a strike is to become unavoidable, it will ultimately be the students ' dream that we will see sacrificed. Last year saw a heightened awareness of our pitiful facilities both within the Curry Community and among the public at large. Curry had the dubious distinction of being cited by the Boston Globe Magazine as being the bad campus on the good site. First prize for major missed opportunity goes to Curry College in Milton, which placed relentlessly inept buildings on a wooded and hilly part of Massachusetts. This was echoed by the Accreditation Report of the past academic year. This is hardly the image that was promised to this school in 1979. This year we returned to face yet another crisis that threatens our dream. The one constant factor that has kept the dream alive, the faculty, has been jeopardized. They are being forced to choose between their commitment to teaching and an equitable salary. The students can easily empathize with the faculty ' s dilemma as we have been the victims of this administration stonewalling many times before. It is time for sacrifices to be made. Should it be the under paid faculty, the enduring student body, or is there another option? We are convinced that there is another option. This option involves the use of funds. We have proven that the funds have not been invested in the facilities. Obviously they have not gone to the faculty. Where are they? Take my advice, it ' s worth investigating. There is something seriously wrong when one administrator ' s expense account alone exceeds that of the starting salary of a faculty member. Over the last nine years, student tuition has increased 1 15% yet the students still live in shanty-town-like conditions while the President has two college vehicles at his personal disposal. This distribution of funds cannot be justified. Now is the time for change. A change in the facilities, a change in faculty working conditions, and most importantly, a change in leadership. With the proper leadership, this institution will be able to reach its full potential. By reaching for its potential and allowing old dreams to become realities, the students will be free to dare to dream new dreams. Michael F. Flaherty President, S.G.A.
