UMASS BOSTON An Historical Perspective From Its Start, UMass Boston Was Different

It was very Massachusetts. In short, to be what a public different from the moth- college was for. er ship, though it enjoyed much help from her. It was different In the long term interest of students, we required from most American universities, even the many a traditional freshman and sophomore liberal other new public university campuses being education that would catch them up with gradu- established in major cities: Baltimore, St. Louis, ates of the best college preparatory high schools, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, and whether private or public. 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. Although we recruited equally in all built for the poor — playpen U?). But we were of the poorer neighborhoods, it was no surprise to not building for the poor alone. It seemed obvi- find, after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther ous to us that democracy needed rigorous public King, Jr. in 1968, that the University at Boston colleges built for everybody, of all classes and had the highest proportion of minority students backgrounds.

t the University of Massachusetts Boston, I took one of Glenn Tinder's classes thirty years ago. I had some trepidation about tak- ing it. Political science — Glenn's department — is a social science, after all. And W. H. Auden, in one of the poems Alice Gormley had taught me to read at Boston State College, had written, "Thou shall not com- mit a social science!" You've heard the hoary joke. One social scientist is passing another in the hall, "Nice day, Henry," the first social scien- tist says. The second social scientist replies, "Relative to what?" That was my idea of social science.

The first sentence Glenn spoke in that classroom was, "Sorry — you will have to mail your check to the gas company. This is a university now." The Study carrells provide a quiet haven for students at the first second sentence was, "Athens was an unalienated library site on the Mezzanine at 100 Arlington Street. polity." Clearly, whatever else it was, this was not social science in the sense of the thing Auden warned one should not commit.

Chancellor Broderick and Dean Gagnon meet with students protesting the Vietnam War. Address to the Charter Class of I960

By Duncan Nelson

Rememb'ring "Things Past" When the Charter Class Was First Unmassed Down at Boston Gas!

Hail! Most of us who are here were there, Parked Square in the heart of Park Square And along an Avenue named for Columbus, Where every Alumna and Alumnus Here honored launched forth on an uncharted sea To gain the New World of a college degree! Yea in '65 the Charter Class At "Hard Hat U," aka "UGas" - Braving the clutter and the clamors Of rubble and rat-tat-tatting jackhammers - Came here to the tune of this pied piper fellow, Our Admissions Director, F. Donald Costello! O Boston has faced Press Gangs before - Say, back in the 1812 War! - But nothing compared to Don's modern day version. Not a single school was spared his incursion, As he drew in you guys, shamelessly wooin' From Hull to Billerica, from Lynn to Methuen! Hey, you tend to become very fast learners When the faucets look like bunsen burners; And you know if you fail to hold your breath When the petcock comes on, you'll face noxious death! And you know, if your goal is to make yourself later, Your "transport of choice" is the elevator... Soon we entered the "expansion phase," Our salad, or some say "Salada" days! Days of "Stuart, Hale, and Sawyer" (Sounds like we were retaining a lawyer!), And if none of those could suit you'all, You'd come here, or to Liberty Mutual, Or the Little Building, that small seed sown Deep in the throat of the Combat Zone! Sometimes, when the lectures were dull ones, We'd skip out of school for a cool one at Sull'vans. Legend has it that it was the kind of bar where They'd never let you leave without carfare: If they saw you were down to your last four bits, They'd serve you up, gratis, your last Bud or Schlitz!

10 More wicked than Jezebel were those jades Of the South End sidewalks - the Meter Maids: Why those sharp-eyed and sharp-pencilled vipers Would hit us so hard 'neath our windshield wipers That we'd end up parking so far away We'd Marathon Races come Street-Cleaning Day! If you didn't drive - even worse fate! - The T would be mobbed and your bus would be late. But let me say this for Park Street Station: It was great preparation for Pre-Registration, Which nowadays is done by computer, And every student's a nine-digit neuter! They tell them it makes the process faster, But in no time at all it's the same old disaster. All those courses they lined up to sign for Are gone, and they have to pay a fine for Using a pencil with #3 lead; And down at the bottom's a print out: "Drop Dead!" And the courses they've got are Advanced Chem (With labs six days a week at 8 AM) And Serbo-Croatian 332, And the Urban Affairs of Timbuctu. How to fight this "data process" swindle? What I tell them is "Fold, Mutilate, Spindle!" Aye, hermetically set behind double panes At Columbia Point, we can't hear Logan's planes, Nor the cry of a gull, nor the lap of the sea: Great God, I think I'd rather be Back where we came from, dodging cars, Deafened by sirens, lured into bars; Flanked by the Ritz and by South End slums, By Symphony Hall and the Caribe's drums! You folks helped us open our doors so wide, Helped let the city so deep inside That even our relative isolation Has never cost us our reputation For giving, and living, an education At the heart of a city that's "First in the Nation"! We celebrate you. You are our heart. You are the ones who gave us our start. As our future stretches forth into eons, Let the world pay heed to a poet's paeans, As he dons his bays, sings praise to ye'uns — Here's to '69! What great 'uman bein's You are! Yea, what great UMBe-ans! £*> 11 Remembering the Pioneering Spirit of Three Founders In celebrating the 35*^ anniversary of the founding of the University of Massachusetts Boston, we remember the pioneering spirit of three remarkable people.
