loanne Morrison Kuliga President, Class of 1978 SMU, like all universities, is a multi- faceted institution, providing each of us with a variety of opportunities for learning and growth. SMU, however, is special for two reasons, aside from its unique architecture. First, it is a very young university, still reaching out in its growth to serve the community in which it lies. SMU is vital to the Southeastern Massachusetts community because for so many it holds out the only affordable opportunity for higher learning. That is why there is such strong sentiment to keep this university autonomous, despite legislative attempts at statewide reorganizational plans. SMU is unique also in its democratic approach to policy-making at all levels. know of no other university where students play such an important role in shaping the pattern of growth, from academic issues like grade appeal and curriculum, to social issues like health services and child care. The participative atmosphere here has fostered some of the most responsible student leadership of any university anywhere. And l am proud to attest that some of our finest student leaders are members of the Class of 1978. Since our freshman year there have been emerging from our ranks so many bright, enthusiastic, hard-working people with such enormous potential, l feel proud to be a member of this graduating class. In the way of final parting remarks, I just want to say: SMU -You're special! Class of '78 - You're great!
