In the third period of the Beanpot championship February 10, Terrier fans began chanting “MVP” to goaltender Sean Fields (CAS’04). And sure enough, he took home not only the MVP, but the Eberly Trophy for best save percentage, and of course, the Beanpot trophy, which he exuberantly displays to the BU faithful.

Velia N. Tosi, a former Cultural Ambassador to Italy from Boston, who with her husband, Carlos, is active in many University organizations, including the Friends of the Libraries and the Women’s Council, received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from BU at a January 29 hooding ceremony. Chancellor John Silber (left) and Board of Trustees member Frederick Chicos presented the honorary degree. Silber praised Tosi for her “decades of thoughtful, intelligent, and varied service to the University.” The Tosis established La Carlos H. and Velia N. Tosi Casa Italiana, a renovated Bay State Road brownstone for students to share and expand their love of Italian language, literature, history, and art. Most recently, they endowed a scholarship at BU in memory of their son, Carlos, Jr., a student in BU’s foreign languages department in the late ’60s. While participating in an exchange program during his junior year in Valencia, Spain, he was killed in an accident. Photo by Fred Sway
