A record number of members of the community were honored last month at the annual retirement dinner in Walker Memorial, attended by some 300.
Noting that the dinner presented a commencement-like occasion, President Charles M. Vest assured those assembled that they are part of the larger MIT community. "Just as we cherish our graduates and expect them to maintain their ties to the Institute, so do we want you to think of MIT as a permanent part of your lives.
"Like our graduates, you deserve enormous praise for your accomplishments and for your contributions to the life of this great educational institution. MIT is at hear the people who have come together to the best they can in their chosen fields. Our quality and stature, our teaching and research programs, our sense of community and our sense of service-these are your doing."
