President Garvey addresses the Class of ' 73 at their Graduation Exercises. Pres. Garvey with Rep. Anthony Pres. Garvey and students at the annual Christmas Party . Scibelli. Dedication Edmond P. Garvey First President of Springfield Technical Community College In the past, several books have been dedicated to President Garvey. All have cited his dedication to the ideals of educa- tion, his devotion to the College, and his interest in the life and growth of all of us as individuals . It would be possible to fill this page and other pages with no more than a list of his achievements, and these are consider- able. There is more that can be said about the honors which he has received which are richly deserved. In paying tribute to the President of this College, it would also be possible to cite example after example of incidents which demonstrate that he is worthy of tribute. Rather than repeat all that has been said about Doctor Ga rvey by his colleagues, by the community, and by those who have honored him previously, we can state that there is something tangible which speaks for him, something which stands as proof that words are inadequate to make clear his achievements. This College is that proof. Springfield Technical Com- munity College as we know it would, probably, not have existed if it were not for Dr. Garvey. Without his foresight, knowl- edge, and dedication, there might be thousands of people deprived of a chance for further education, excellent training and, perhaps, a better life. Springfield Technical Community College, during the tenure of Dr. Garvey, has made enormous strides in preparing per- sons of all ages, of all backgrounds, and of all interests for the demanding technological society which America is producing. It serves as an example for other educators who are now, much later, realizing the necessity for institutions such as STCC . In a very real sense, Dr. Garvey is the father of the school. His interest in its students, its faculty, and its departments has been paternal. He is a wise father and a just one, putting the good of his family ahead of his own personal desires for many years. We have benefitted from his guidance, profited by his example, and enjoyed his enjoyment in us and our concerns. We have been fortunate in knowing him and will miss him sorely . However, like any good father, Dr. Garvey leaves us with a legacy for the future. The growth of STCC is already planned for the next few years. While he will not be here to see the plans take shape on a day-to-day basis, we are sure that he will watch with all of a father ' s pride the progress of his school . We hope to live up to his expectations, both as individuals and as a College. We will try to do so. We all — students, faculty and staff — wish you and Mrs. Garvey a full and happy life.
