DEDICATION Mary Beth Haughn Mary Beth Haughn can most fre- quently be seen in 255EC, the Stu- dent Activities Oftice, passing out keys to study rooms, scheduling meetings, or supervising ID cards. Beth first came to the university in the Fall of 1 972, to work for Dean Vetstein. She has stayed with us for five years and many people hope she will stay for many, many more. It has been said that a dedication is a very personal thing, and these two people have helped both me personally and the Cauldron this year and so, it is only fitting that we pay tribute to two of the nicest unselfish people in the university and say thank you, Roz and Beth. — Mary Ann

Office of the President Northeastern University 360 HUNTINCTON AVENUE BOSTON. MASSACHUSETTS 02115 Message to the Class of 1977 I extend my sincerest congratulations to each member of the Northeastern Class of 1977. As you reach this important milestone in your life, I am sure you are filled with mixed emotions. Very deservedly you should feel a keen sense of pride in your academic accomplishment which has brought you to the point of graduation. At the same time, I am sure, you sense how much more there is to learn. I am sure that you now feel some of the frustration which faculty members continually face and recognize that only the beginnings of education can be crammed into an undergraduate curriculum. Whether you go on to further graduate study, professional training or simply commit yourself to a program of reading and self -improvement, I hope that education has become a part of your life and the learning experience at Northeastern will serve you well as a foundation for a lifetime of continued learning. I would hope that you approach graduation with an enhanced appreciation of your own compentency and the nature of the world in which we live. Through its courses of instruction and the experience of cooperative work assignments, Northeastern continually strives to provide students with the opportunity for self-appraisal and a chance to understand in realistic terms the nature of the professional fields and the reality of the adult working world. Contact with reality is an essential part of the educational process. The real world may on occasion seem harsh, unfair or may not measure up to the idealistic dreams and aspirations of young people. But all of us must learn to cope with the realities of our time and only by fully understanding the existing world can we hope to effect signifi- cant change and improvement. As you graduate from the University, I hope you will carry with you many fond memories of friendships and enriching experiences which have been a part of your university life. I strongly believe that as the years pass, you will have an enhanced appreciation of your University and the value of the education which you have received here. You can be sure that, as you proceed to further education or to careers in business, industry, public service or other professions, your friends on the University faculty and administration will follow your careers with great interest. We are all proud of your past accomplishments and sincerely hope that the future years bring you personal happiness and great success in whatever career you undertake. 0 6 Kenneth G. Ryder President
