Our president now is m, richard rose, working with him are hundreds of faculty and staff, those who have been with the institute a number of years notice that at the new faculty-staff meetings there are more people than the entire faculty and staff of twenty years ago. there has been a similar growth in the number of students, which has almost doubled in ten years. because of this the school has certainly changed, there used to be a central dining room in the basement of the eastman building, down- town, where students and faculty would meet and get to know one another, it was a pleasantly close relationship, now it is possible to spend a year without seeing someone whom you know works or studies there, but in another building, there is a greater variety of people, however, more students come from out of new york state, not many, but an increasing number from abroad, faculty come from denmark, holland, yugoslovia. england, italy. china, africa, india, latin america, Canada and other countries, giving a cosmopoli- tanism to the school which it did not have before. students presently are serious about their work, tuition is so high that college is a major investment, faculty who remember disrupted classrooms dur- ing the viet nam war, when many students were in college only to avoid the draft, are aware of the difference, it means that despite the increased numbers it is still possible for students and faculty to be together because of the concern with which students approach their studies. photo teacher 1980
