4,00+ YEARS 149 to Retire from Institute Ranks This year Some 200 members of the community and spouses gathered in Walker Memorial last week for MIT's "other commencement," the annual dinner for those who have retired since last year or are about to do so. The 149 members of this year's class have invested more than 4,000 person-years at MIT, for an average of nearly 27 years each. Senior Vice President William R. Dickson was master of ceremonies for the occasion and Associate Provost S. Jay Keyser read the roster. President Charles M. Vest spoke to the "graduates," noting that he is just completing his first year here. "Congratulations to each and every one of you," he said. "These years-- and your accomplishments--demonstrate an extraordinary loyalty and commitment to MIT." As he makes his way around the Institute to get acquainted, Dr. Vest said, "I am impressed not only with the research and teaching that goes on in each department, but also with the warmth and friendliness projected by the people who work there. . . MIT is a better place for your having been here." Those who received certificates of appreciation for their service included: Mary M. Addonizio, Department of Athletics, 26 years.
