In the troubled academic year of 1969-70, few men stood out as an inspiration, as a guide, and as a friend to the often confused student population. However, here at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, one man espoused such values and has rightfully earned the respect and admiration of his fellow colleagues in the faculty as well as students of most every political classification. As Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences he oversaw the initiation of long awaited reforms within the curriculum of the College. As a professor of Botany he has recognized the need to make the courses which he has taught as relevant as possible to a contemporary society. As a friend of all of the students of the University he has often lobbied for student concerns with the administrative councils, and has always accepted every possible opportunity to meet and talk with students. In recognition of his great service to the University we dedicate the 1970 Index to Dr. Seymour Shapiro, Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
