For that, we needed the District of Columbia. small classes, close faculty attention. So we filled all budgeted faculty positions (one for each fifteen From the start, the Trustees approved Boston's students) with full-time instructors of the central own curriculum, graduation requirements, and disciplines in mathematics, the natural sciences, its own way of using its money and faculty the humanities, and the social sciences. positions. Its aim was to put everything it had To minimize the number of students each faculty member would teach, we dropped the usual offer- ings in physical education, ROTC, and fresh- man/sophomore electives. Further to lower the student/faculty ratio, and to focus student study, we set a freshman/sophomore curriculum of only four courses each term — standard practice at lead- ing arts and sciences colleges in New England. On average, then, each faculty member was responsible for 60 students a term, 20 in each of three sections making up the nine hour teaching load. In the first two years, of course, we had only freshmen and sophomores, but faculty members in the Humanities and the Social Sciences were recruited with the understanding that they would be expected to teach in the general education pro- Paul Gagnon served as Dean gram throughout their careers at Boston. Most of Faculty from 1965-1970. agreed that having all faculty share the work of introducing freshmen to college learning made a closer, more equal academic community, and by doing so the faculty would better understand the needs of students coming to us. Needless to say, this was not the direction that most universities, old or new, were taking at the time. If anything, they were hurrying in exactly the opposite direction. And to take only two examples, we were different in still other ways. First, and from the start, we reached for both the ideal and the practical. On the advice of the busi- ness community, we designed a combined eco- nomics and business program to follow upon the common core of academic studies. Likewise, on the advice of veteran teachers and principals, we implemented a subject-matter-centered teacher certification program to accompany an academic major. In these, and other programs to come, we would try to keep career preparation anchored in the general learning that enriches private life, and liberates graduates to be professionally flexible, rather than separating them as most universities did, and still do. Second, in 1965, before the start, before the idea Some people, within and outside the University, dawned on others, we went out to recruit and found it increasingly hard to let us be different. admit promising people who had given up on There was much joking about our trying to build college because of poverty, age, or their inferior "a Harvard for the poor" (what should we have schooling.

Gov. Karyn Polito, right, as his wife Nancy watches on. Governor Charlie Baker has named Robert A. Durand, president of Durand & Anastas Environmental Strategies, an environmental consulting and lobbying firm, to the Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board. Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito conducted the swearing-in ceremony for the five-year term last Wednesday. State Rep. William “Smitty” Pignatelli, D-Lenox, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, was one of about 10 Representatives and Senators who attended the swearing in. Smitty said some nice words and reminded everyone of how close Bob was to the late George (Gige) Darey. “I am so pleased and honored to receive this nomination to the board, which has been a part of my life in one way or another for most of my life,” Durand said. “I’m thankful to Gov. Baker and Lt. Gov. Polito for their confidence in me to carry out this vital mission to protect many critical aspects of our natural world, and with it, our quality of life in Massachusetts.” As one of the seven-member board, Durand will represent the Northeast Region, Middlesex and Essex counties, and replaces Fred Winthrop, who resigned from the board last fall. The board has various duties, including writing and overseeing all hunting and fishing regulations, Natural Resources and Endangered Species Act regulations, and is the appointing authority for the director of MassWildlife.

With both in mind, this study describes the countervailing pressures that converge on the executive branch of state government as it con- fronts the prospect of holding these two authorities accountable.
