The ceremonial inauguration of the 75th anniversary observ- ance took place on October 3, and included a luncheon, a con- vocation, and an open house. While some students criticized the lack of opportunity for stu- dent participation in the events on Convocation Day, several hundred alumni were in attendance. A luncheon at noon, hosted by Mr. Robert H. Willis, chair- man of the board of trustees, packed the Cabot gymnasium despite drizzly weather. After some brief welcoming remarks, the party emerged in academic regalia and a processional march wound through the pud- dles to the auditorium. Alumni of long-standing and those of the recent past congregated for ceremonies which featured an address by Senator Edward W. Brooke and the presentation of awards to outstanding alumni.

Voung usiness Administration usiness Administration In the award ceremony which followed Brooke ' s address, 27 alumni were presented citations and medals commemorating their outstanding achievements since graduating from North- eastern. As we were told that day during Freshman Orienta- tion Week, if you do anything from this point on — be it get- ting elected President or getting indicted for murder — your name will be inevitably linked to Northeastern. The alumni awards were a positive way of reaffirming and glorifying that link between the University and some of the people who justify its reputation through their outstanding work. Included among the out- standing alumni were several corporation heads; the execu- tive vice president of the New York Times; an actor currently playing in TV ' s Return to Pey- ton Place; well-known authors Nat Hentoff and Herbert Phil- brick; and Peter Lance, ' 71 LA, who has gone into television and radio production for educa- tional television in New York.
