THE WORLD
A UMass Tradition
of town meeting partcipation
A
UMass tradition of town meeting participation is reflected in this local
sampler. ABOVE, Bryan Harvey '77 (second from right) confers
with Amherst select board colleagues. LEFT, T.O. Wilkinson, an
emeritus sociology professor, dean, and long-time Amherst TM member who
died in December, "understood when the conversation was getting repetitive
and could be counted on to call the question," a colleague says.
BELOW RIGHT, Richard Tracy '30S 
stands
to speak at town meeting in Westhampton, where, after his death at age
ninety in December, he was remembered as "unblushingly telling people
where he stood on myriad issues."
