“Flattered” to be unanimously elected chairman of the BU Board of Trustees on January 9, Connecticut attorney Christopher Barreca says that his goal is to focus on the University’s presidential search -- and to help continue the momentum that BU has developed over the past few decades, as it has become “one of the premier universities not only in our country, but in the world.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. (GRS’55, Hon.’59) and former BU Photo Services director Robert Case (SMG’55), son of BU President Harold Case (1950–67), discuss a photo exhibition in the GSU in 1964. BU will celebrate its 18th annual commemoration of the life and work of King on Monday, January 20. This year’s theme is The American Dream, which is based on King’s dream “of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities, and of all creeds can live together as brothers” and his global desire that “the American dream will not become a reality devoid of the larger dream of a world of brotherhood and peace and goodwill.” See Calendar for a complete listing of events.

Opus 90. Area musicians, artists, educators, and friends recently gathered to wish composer Gardner Read a happy 90th birthday. Read came to BU in 1948 as a composer in residence and professor of composition and taught at the University for 30 years. His birthday has been marked by concerts and special broadcasts. Melissa de Graaf (above), a graduate student in the Brandeis University music department, greets the maestro at his party.
