Ulysses (Tennyson)

I am become a name;

For always roaming with a hungry heart

Much I have seen and known-cities of men

And manners, climates, councils, governments

Myself not least, but honored of them all-

And drunk delight of battle with my peers,

Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.

I am a part of all that I have met;

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough

Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades

Forever and forever when I move.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!

As though to breathe were life! Life piled on life

Were all too little, and of one to me

Little remains; but every hour is saved

From that eternal silence, something more,

A bringer of new things; and vile it were

For some three suns to store and hoard myself,

And this grey spirit yearning in desire

To follow knowledge like a sinking star,

Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

CITIES OF MEN AND MANNERS,CLIMAX, COUNCILS, GOVERNMENTS

MYSELF NOT LEAST, BUT HONORED OF THEM ALL

AND DRUNK DELIGHT OF BATTLE WITH MY PEERS

I AM A PART OF ALL THAT I HAVE MET . . .

THAT UNTRAVELED WORLD WHOSE MARGIN FADES FOREVERAND FOREVER WHEN I MOVE.

TO FOLLOW KNOWLEDGE LIKE A SINKING STARBEYOND THE UTMOST BOUND OF HUMAN THOUGHT.

An unknown Chinese poet in 500 BC wrote:

"If you are thinking a year ahead, sow seed.If you are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree.

If you are thinking one hundred years ahead, educatethe people."

We at the Mount have tried our best to do that.

I think it important that you leave here with an understanding of

the investment many people have made in you and in Mount WachusettCommunity College: your professors, counselors, administratorsand staff — all have made a contribution to your arriving at thisjuncture.

You will soon pass from the relatively protected corridors of MountWachusett Community College to other less protected worlds, and to

new responsibilities. I want you to achieve good and hard and difficultand impossible things — for your own good and personal satisfaction —but also because you are graduates of Mount Wachusett Community College.

Robert Frost once defined education as something like being able to hang

on until you have caught on. Each of you has hung on long enough tocatch on, and catch your Associate degree in the process. Please acceptmy congratulations upon your success.

Dear Graduates

:

Once again I say farewell to a fine group of young men and

women who just two years ago enrolled at the "Mount."

I congratulate one and all and have fond memories of the pastfew years. You have ample reason to be proud of the fact that yousurvived and persevered on this step in life's plan. You are thenineteenth graduating class in the rather short twenty years ofthe history of the college.

I frequently lament the fact that we are a two year institu-tion because one hardly gets to know you before you move along. In

addition, so many of you are labeled "non-traditional" in our currentjargon because you did not come to us directly from high school aswas the case years ago. Now we have grandmothers, grandfathers, andnumerous family members who have gone on to our Alumni ranks.

I bid you Godspeed, with much pride, best wishes, and everyconfidence that you will make us all extremely proud of your achieve-ments and contributions to society. I hope that all will becomeactive members of the Alumni Association and that our paths will

cross frequently in the future. Come back often to see us.

A message to the families

and friends of today's graduates • •

The teaching faculty, librarians, and counselors who are members of theMassachusetts Community College Council share your pride and happiness, as

your sons and daughters, wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, neighbors,

friends, and relatives graduate today.

They richly deserve our praise, because they have worked hard for theirdegrees.

A.s their teachers and guides, we have also dedicated a great deal of time

and expertise to their education. Unfortunately, we are not receiving

commensurate support for our efforts from the college administration.

We have just finished an entire academic year working without a collectivebargaining contract. We have not received a raise in two years , whilemaintaining the dubious honor of being among the lowest-paid community collegefaculty in the nation.

The primary reason for this situation is the intransigence of the state

Board of Regents of Higher Education, and the college presidents who, during18 months of negotiations, have insisted upon unreasonable increases in our

workload (which would be detrimental to quality education), painfully small

pay increases , and patronage-style pay raises for a few people selected by the

college administration (which, if implemented, would only serve to pit faculty

members against each other).

A. recent study revealed that the average community college teacher spends

more than 50 hours a week teaching, planning, and attending meetings. Most of

us either continue our own education or teach "continuing education" courses

between semesters in order to improve the quality of education we provide our

students, and to supplement our incomes.

The pay for the average Massachusetts community college teacher is less

than the starting pay for postal employees .

We urge you to tell your college president, state representative, state

senator, and Gov. Dukakis that we deserve better treatment, and that they

should instruct the Board of Regents to sign a fair contract with us.

Please : Help us to maintain one of the Commonwealth's most valuable

resources -- its system of community colleges.

-- Your Faculty and Professional Staff
