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 . . .

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.
