NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MASSACHUSETTS COLLEGE OE ART GERARD AMIRIAN Students at Mass Art are the cream of the crop. I say this because they have rejected crass materialism so dominant in our culture and are willing to devote their lives to the creation of higher values through art. HARRIS BARRON With the advent of jack Nolan, David McGavern Company, Mass Art will go beyond the insistence that the student, as a group, must color-in the picture without going outside the lines. ALF BRACONIER With isms bursting in the creative air, let ' s hope that our college and its students survive the bombardment to emerge with meaningful contribution to the world of art. WILLIAM BRANT If talent, spirit and desire are truly significant, then Mass Art and its students have an important role in the future of art and society. CALVIN BURNETT One of the encouraging aspects of life presently at Mass Art is the consciousness that while many changes are being tried out, still others can be attempted even if some do not work. JOHN BUTLER In twenty-five words, or less, profess the deep heart ' s love of artist students, the gentle-strong, observing, sensitive as showers, by dreams possessed? Yes! KATHRYN COGHLAN The college has involved itself this year in the struggle against brutality, injustice and ugliness. What better way to move into our promising future! FLOYD COVERT The student body remains the constant positive factor in a changing administration and curriculum. The college exists for our students alone. DAVID DAVIDSON It existed and was maintained. Now we are new born, with self-imposed development and an open spirit, the winds of change blow us free. CHARLES DEMETROPOULOS This is the Age of Aquarius! Things are Happening! Everyone is Involved! Students; Avail yourselves fully of all the opportunities offered in our college. LOU FIFIELD Moved from under the absolute political bushel, it may now become a leader for visual and environmental directions, rather than eclectic assimilator of safe parameters. JEREMY FOSS I won ' t disguise a special affection I have for this graduating class. We were freshmen together. Can one imagine four years that have been more co nvulsive — for the American conscience, for the art world, and for the College itself, which couldn ' t help but reflect the energy and turmoil of this change? Creative, artistic growth was more than ever a struggle for self-realization. I learned from you. CARL GIBSON I see the college moving from the stigma of a little known art college in the East to becoming a leader of note in the fields of fine art and design . . . The students and faculty are making an in-depth appraisal of our philosophy, goals, curriculum content, physical plant, etc., and wherever possible making immediate changes without losing sight of our long range plans . . . GEORGE GREENAMYER This is an amazing situation in our pragmatic society. 1 can ' t really believe it exists. Here is given us an environment and internal pressures which say create, make, be uniquely yourself. This community of ours is so valuable for the creative person. BRUCE HAWTHORNE You can get there from here, but since ends are means and people are also both, we may be nearly there, already there, very far, on the way (to suit mood). RON HAYES Mass Art students, once they have shaken free of the myriad inhibiting standards and have become aware of the potential of their individual creative spirit and energies, are truly exciting and vital people, with whom it is a pleasure to be associated. MARJORIE HELLERSTEIN Mass Art— it ' s a job. The students— they ' re people. The possibilities, oh the possibilities! DAN KELLEHER Mass College of Art is a place, more or less suited to the making of art. The students are people, more or less committed to making art. Art is an experience, more or less concrete, sometimes significant, more or less. DONALD LETTIS One of the things I heard when I first moved to Massachusetts was that change comes about very slowly. Mass Art certainly disproves this. Thank God! DAVE MC CAVERN | have a strong belief that the people at this college will make it the finest professional art school in the nation — without exception. JACK NOLAN |f social value equals (what a group gives to society) minus (what it takes from society), who can match the Mass Art community? HENRY STEEGER Close friends, laughter, and exploration . . . the pleasure of new skill, curiosity, and understandings . . . the testing of ideas and experience leading toward maturity . . . Mass Art is their stage.

One thinks of the lightheartedness of the Periclean Athens, the Renaissance, the Elizabethan Age, and the age of the Enlightenment. Mr. Nehru tells us that in India during every period when her civilization bloomed, we find an intense joy in life and nature and a pleasure in the art of living. One suspects that much of the praise of seri- ousness comes from people who have a vital need for a facade of weight and dignity. La Rochefoucauld said of solemnity that it is a mystery of the body invented to conceal the defects of the mind. The fits of deadly seri- ousness we know as mass movements, which come bearing a message of serious purpose and weighty ideals, are usually set in motion by sterile ped- ants possessed of a murderous hatred for festive creativeness. Such move- ments bring in their wake meagermindedness, fear, austerity, and sterile con- formity. Hardly one of the world ' s great works in literature, art, music, and pure science was conceived and realized in the stern atmosphere of a mass movement. It is only when these movements have spent themselves, and their pattern of austere boredom begins to crack, and the despised present dares assert its claims to trivial joys, that the creative impulse begins to stir amidst the grayness and desolation. § Man shares his playfulness with other warm-blooded animals, with mam- mals and birds. Insects, reptiles, etc., do not play. Clearly, the division of the forms of life into those that can play and those that cannot is a signifi- cant one. Equally significant is the duration of the propensity to play. Mam- mals and birds play only when young, while man retains the propensity throughout life. My feeling is that the tendency to carry youthful character- istics into adult life, which renders man perpetually immature and unfinished, is at the root of his uniqueness in the universe, and is particularly pro- nounced in the creative individual. Youth has been called a perishable talent, but perhaps talent and originality are always aspects of youth, and the crea- tive individual is an imperishable juvenile. When the Greeks said, Whom the gods love die young they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and THE ORDEAL OF CHANCE Eric Hoffer JAMES GABRIEL MALLORY GRANT MATTHEW DELANEY VERONICA BELL BEVERLY ANNE SIMMONS JANET MAYHEW GRACE MOORE JOANNE SLADE SANDRA CAMUTI JANET CONWAY ANN MALACHOWSKI VIRGINIA TREMBLAY STEPHEN BARYLICK RAE BERTELLOTTI WILLIAM LAPETE WILLIAM RODGERS r FRANK SICCONE GRETA LEVITAN LAWRENCE PRATES FREDERICK ARIEL RICHARD STATSNY JR.
