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.
