Richard Chapin President Dear Seniors: During the past years, you have gained technical training in your field — be it broadcasting, creative writing, film, journalism, speech pathology, or theatre. But more important, you have learned that technical training is a tool, a vehicle for communication. When you leave Emerson, you will, unfortunately, find a world in which all too often communication is lacking, a world that operates on misunder- standing or indifference You are fortunate, for you can bring to the world a sense of understanding — a realization that each of us is unique, that each of us communicates differently, and most important, that good communication depends most of all on a willingness to communicate. My hopes for each of you are that you will listen to others, help them communicate, and bring to the world your ideas and your talents. You have before you unlimited opportunity. It is within your power to make your corner of the universe better than you found it. Sincerely, i — — Oliver Woodruff Dean of Student Dear Friends and fellow Emersonians, As you, the men and women of the Class of 1975, read this message you have reached a significant crossroad. I envy you the opportunity to follow new roads with the confidence and zest that are so uniquely the province of youth. Greater than my envy, however, is my feeling of empathy as you find yourselves thrust into new and uncertain situations. The yesterdays of your college career take on a protective aura. “The Wall has a sense of security about it, and the once potential pitfalls of “passion, power, and pot seem to exert a magnetic backward pull. There is no way to answer that call or return to that security. My wish for you, as you make your choice of forward looking roads, is that it may be a road to personal happiness. May it be a road that calls upon those strengths and talents which you have discovered or developed at Emerson College. And may its challenges and its successes bring you a sense of real and lasting personal satisfaction. Take with you then, a sense of your own personal worth, an awareness that you have enriched our lives by being here, and the warmth that can only be realized through our love for each human being. Cordially,

Without a Single Nose Twisted by Heroes ... 1 hat ' s how we made our way to Boston, clutching our poetry, our electronic equipment, or our confidence. Pacing ourselves with outspoken (over- spoken?) understanding of nearly everything and barely anything, our supposition being that we ' d pick-up whatever we needed - fast. And that ' s how we left our folks and siblings, our mistakes and you- know-what-l-did attitudes. The remedy was in Boston — whatever remedy we were looking for, or from that which we were escaping. A place called Emerson would give us fluidity of tongue, (and cheek?), discipline of in- spiration and pen, and an intellectual poise. Of course there would be more: more of what we wanted and less of what we did not. Upon our arrival, Emerson ' s first manifestations were the old dormitories, not-like-mother ' s (Jesus, it ' s bad!) food. Brimmer Street (the utmost in mod- ern facilities) along with F.L.P., and what we soon would discover to be standard wine and cheese get- togethers. There was the mandatory Oh! Calcutta! in the back theatre, where we were given a prelimi- nary lesson on bloomers. In those hot and sticky quarters (there were alot of people there), we were informed that only one out of three would gradu- ate. Some of us didn ' t wonder why.
