  • FY11 Report to the President
    MIT Alumni Association ~ FY11 Report to the President MIT’s sesquicentennial afforded new opportunities for the MIT Alumni Association to connect alumni to the Institute and to one another. We took on the challenge of hosting 150 events during the 150 days of celebration. We met that goal and then some. And new connections were made— 29 of these events were in areas without an established group. Tech Reunions 2011 in June broke attendance records as enthusiastic alumni and guests came to campus for traditional celebrations plus the spectacular MIT150 finale—Toast to Tech. FY11 Highlights: • In honor of the MIT 150th anniversary, volunteers and the Alumni Association hosted 164 sesquicentennial events on five continents, including 55 Toast to IAP gatherings, 47 Charter Day events, and 14 Days of Service. • Nearly 8,000 people gathered in Killian Court for the MIT150 finale, Toast to Tech, which was cohosted by the Association and the office of Institute Events. • FY11 MIT Annual Fund: Giving increased by 19 percent to $52.4M. Senior Gift participation hit a new record of 76 percent. The Parents Fund beat previous records with gifts totaling more than $1.5 million. • Compared to our IvyPlus peers, the MIT Annual Fund ranked third in undergraduate partici- pation at 36 percent—behind Princeton and Dartmouth in 2010, the most recent available data. • The William Barton Rogers Society achieved a 79 percent renewal rate among all donors from FY10 to FY11. • Members of the 1861 Circle, those who make a gift five or more years in a row, rose 5.2 per- cent to 16,666.

Abraham, Executive Director Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity 1011 San Jacinto, Suite 205 Austin, TX 78701 Dear Brothers, It is with great pride that I write to you to present the Technology Colony of Theta Tau’s Petition for Chapter Status. In our time as a colony, we have grown into an organization rooted upon the three pillars of Theta Tau, and been beneficiaries of the nation-wide community striving towards this selfsame goal. As a chapter, we plan to work to build our brotherhood, serve our community, and work toward success in our profession in the same way we have as a colony. Our Colony has had the privilege to be helped in our journey by many outstanding members of the national brotherhood. Whether it was the opportunity to network with brothers from chapters all across the nation at the national convention in Cincinnati, or work with the Psi Delta Chapter to plan a joint Alumni Networking Event at home in Boston, we have been lucky to have role models and advisors to shape us into a group ready for status as a chapter of Theta Tau. As we move forward, I know the support network we have built will be ready and willing to help us forge onward as an organization.

  • MIT 150 | Brains, Minds and Machines: Welcome and Introductory Remarks
    MIT 150 | Brains, Minds and Machines: Welcome and Introductory Remarks MINDELL: Good afternoon. It's my pleasure to introduce and to welcome you to the MIT 150 Symposium on Brains, Minds and Machines. My name is David Mindell. And I'm chair of the MIT 150 steering committee. And I just want to say a few words about MIT's 150th that provide a little bit of context for today's symposium. In 1853, William Barton Rogers came north from Virginia to pursue his dream of a new kind of technical education. An education that would mix the world of science and the useful arts, theory, and practice, what we have come to know as Menzel Montessori Mind and Hand. Nine years later, eight years later in 1861, the governor of Massachusetts fulfilled Roger's dream by signing MIT's charter on April 10th of last year-- of that year, creating this unique and innovative educational institution. Now 150 years and two weeks later, we're celebrating MIT's accomplishments in a whole variety of fields, of ideas, and inventions, that changed our world and helped define it today, and of the courageous professors, students, graduates, and alumni, who have gone forth from this place to make their contributions to the world. The MIT 150 Celebrations include 150 days of events, concerts, other festivals. Today we're on the 117th day. And we've already begun to see, over the past 117 days, the emergence of tomorrow's MIT. One that's united by ambitious intellectual agendas and focused on both its core research domains and on the institute's relationship to the wider world.

So it has been at the College of William and Mary, often in curious ways. For example, those delving into its history long overlooked the College’s eighteenth century plantation worked by slaves for ninety years to raise tobacco.1 Although it seems easy to understand that omission, it is harder to understand why the College’s 1760 affiliation with a school for black children2 was overlooked, or its president in 1807 being half-sympathetic to a black man seeking to sit in on science lectures,3 or its awarding an honorary degree to the famous English abolitionist Granville Sharp in 1791,4 all indications of forgotten anti-slavery thought at the College. To account for these memory lapses, we must look to a pivotal time in the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century when the College, Williamsburg, and Virginia * Chancellor Professor of English, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, [email protected].

DAVIS College of William £ind Mary, Willfomsburg, Virginili Like nearly all of the current subjects of instruction at the College of William and Mary, Biology naturally traces back into departments under other names. Meager as must have been the teaching during the early years in any of the fields specifically mentioned in the Charter granted in 1693 by the British sover­ eigns, certainly some matter within our :present field was con­ templated in the listing of objects mentioned in the preamble of the Charter: " ...to the end ...that the youth may be piously educated in good letters and manners ... to make, found and establish a certain place of universal study, or perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages and other good Arts and Sciences ..." It is safe to say that none of those subjects in the conception of Commissary Blair, who doubtless prescribed them, would have been defined in terms that would at all fit with the boundaries of present departments.
