The Inauguration of Margaret A. McKenna

On December 4th, 1985, Margaret A. McKenna was inaugurated as third President of Lesley College. More than 1500 alumni, faculty, students, trustees and corporators, staff, and invited guests participated in two days of inaugural events. The activities included a pre-inaugural symposium on "The Challenges Facing Higher Education," a gala inaugural dinner, an inaugural keynote address by best-selling sociologist/author, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a pre-inaugural interfaith service, the investiture, and several post-inaugural celebrations involving the entire Lesley community. It was a time to celebrate the traditions and accomplishments of Lesley Col­ lege. It was also a time to look ahead to the challenges and opportunities that the future holds for Lesley and Higher Education. In the following pages, we present an inaugural sampler, featuring highlights of the two-day celebration.

A Toast to Margaret McKenna by Sister Janet Eisner, SND President of Emmanuel College

It is a distinct pleasure to toast a friend who now becomes a colleague in the all too exclusive group of women college presidents. In your tenure as President, Margaret, may you one day have a student government president as energetic and assertive in creating change on the campus as you were at Emmanuel in the 60's. May you treas­ ure well the tributes of support and cooperation which you will hear from the faculty and staff in the inaugural events, because they seldom will re­ peat them . May you meet alumnae who remember their roots as you do, who are role models for the students of Lesley, who remember to give to the Annual Fund, and of whose ac­ complishments their alma mater will be as proud as Emmanuel is of you.

May you have a Board of Trustees j whose members are as insightful, ener­ l At the pre-inaugural dinner, Sr. Janet Eisner, SND, President of Emmanuel College, toasting President McKenna.

A Collaboration in Poetry How to See It by Judith W Steinbergh, '82G The real song, the real poem is like a nebula in the night sky, a swirling cloud one cannot see looking directly at it.

If we stare at something else, a familiar constellation , a falling star, in the corner of our eye a haze begins to gather

like a swarm of very white moths or a flock of doves and if we are quite determined to keep our gaze askew

we see it is really the face of our mother who recently died or a lover who deeply misunderstood or a cat we once long ago hurt.

So it is we observe , like astronomers, the distant galaxy or a sorrow or a joy we have wanted to name, Members of the Lesley Collegium Musicum, under the direction of Associate Professor of Music Edmund Ostrander, at the pre-inaugural dinner in Alumni Hall. not by rushing headlong at it with a pen or our will, but by biding our time, My Daughter Approaches keeping track of the small things, Adolescence clover and dragonflies, by Elizabeth McKim the buzz in the wires, You dance the chip in the front steps, the words, on the dizzy edge of things simply the words of our children. already you dream departure as years ago I dreamed divorce

Additional Greetings Twenty colleges and universities, in­ cluding Harvard, Radcliffe, MIT, Yale, Columbia, and Vassar, sent elaborate, embossed Greetings to President McKenna which were displayed in the Lesley Bulletin Board outside the main Administration Building. Governor Michael Dukakis sent a Proclamation (also displayed) proclaiming Wednes­ day, December 4, as Lesley College Day in Massachusetts "in recognition of Lesley's new president, Margaret A. McKenna , and in anticipation of her years of leadership of the College and commitment to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ." Sue Aseltine, '87, and Berne Webb, of the Student Affairs Office, examine some of the greetings from colleges to the President and the Proclamation from Governor Michael Dukakis. 8 The Inauguration

Receptions After the installation ceremony, guests returned to Lesley to attend three gala receptions held simultane­ ously at separate locations on campus. Among the entertainment highlights: Stan Strickland and his jazz band; Cynthia Mapes, an Expressive Thera­ pies student from the Graduate School, playing guitar and dulcimer; Mistral, a vocal group which per­ formed Renaissance and Traditional music (Margot Chamberlain, Program Counselor in the Division of Outreach and Alternative Education in the Graduate School is a member of this ~tan Strickland, jazz musician and adjunct talented octet); and Betsy Cameron, faculty member of the Arts Institute '86, who delighted audiences with her mime performance in Alumni Hall.
