TIME'S MAN OF THE YEARH Dr. D. Justin McCarthy, president of Framingham State College for the past 23 years, will retire in August, 1985. Dr. McCarthy, an honors graduate of Bridgewater State College, earned his doctorate at Harvard University where he was elected to PHI DELTA KAPPA honorary professional society. He be- came president of Framingham State Col- lege in 1961. The nation's first public institution for preparing teachers, Framingham State has grown during Dr. McCarthy's pres- idency from a college of 700 students with two majors, in elementary education and home economics, to a comprehensive state college offering 27 undergraduate majors and 12 master's level programs. Now serving over 9,000 students, the college has 3,125 undergraduates and over 6,000 graduate and continuing education students. The president's administration has seen the college fulfill a multi-million- dollar facility expansion program which includes academic buildings, dormitor- ies, faculty and administrative offices, and ecumenical chapel, library, athletic fields, and spacious college center used widely by both the college and outside groups. Asked about his feelings regarding the rapid growth of the college, Dr. McCar- thy expressed his gratitude in being able to contribute toward the academic and physical development of Framingham State through the participation of many people. 4 11 12 The class of 1985 leaves it's mark on the wall by honoring President McCarthy and donating the money to buy the letters to dedicate the building to our retiring president.
