UROP was founded during the 1969-70 academic year by Dean for Undergraduate Education Margaret L. A. Macpicar '65. Twenty years later, it is the "largest, most successful and most well-known program of its kind," said Norma McGavern, director of the Undergraduate Education Office. The centerpiece of Monday's festivities was student and faculty pre- dictions about the year 2020. These predictions were solicited "to get people thinking and to have some fun," MacVicar told The Boston Globe. William Ching '93 speculated that "robots with human capabilities will assist in everyday life" and "cancer will be eradicated." Cold fu- sion and advanced computer capabilities would solve the energy crisis, according to Gautam Ramakarishna '93. "Biological immortality" would be achieved, Greg Bettinger '91 predicted. As for MIT, the year 2020 may see the Institute's own space re- Kristine AuYeung/The Tech search lab so that, "in addition to the semester abroad program in Dean Margaret L. A.

  • Natural Pursuits – the Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011
    PRESS RELEASE June 2011 11/49 Natural Pursuits – The Screen Dramas of Simon Gray Television Season at BFI Southbank in August 2011 BFI Southbank celebrates the tragi-comic screen dramas of the late Simon Gray. A writer of immense wit and intellectual charm whose razor-sharp dialogue is unsurpassed. The month long season features some of Gray’s most celebrated work including screenings of Unnatural Pursuits (1992), After Pilkington (1987) and They Never Slept (1991) which feature performances by British acting elite including Alan Bates, Edward Fox and Miranda Richardson. Following the screening of They Never Slept, a panel of guests including producer Kenith Trodd, and directors Udayan Prasad and Christopher Morahan will discuss his great contribution to television drama and the theatre illustrated with clips of some of his early and rare television plays to be chaired by Broadcaster Matthew Sweet. After the screening of Butley on Sunday 14 Aug, Lindsay Posner, director of the 40th anniversary revival of the play currently running at the Duchess Theatre will also be welcomed to the BFI stage for a Q&A. Gray wrote prolifically from the mid-60s onwards for both the West End stage (Otherwise Engaged, Quartermaine’s Terms, The Late Middle Classes, Butley) and for television, where such important early successes such as Death of a Teddy Bear, Man in a Sidecar and The Caramel Crisis were carelessly wiped. His most fertile period writing specifically for TV occurred between 1975 and 1993 during a close collaboration with producer Kenith Trodd and four major directors, Michael Lindsay- Hogg, Christopher Morahan, Udayan Prasad and Pat O’Connor.

Angell, the eighth Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, age 86, died on October 4, 2016.
