Page ix Acknowledgments This book would not have been possible without the vision, encouragement, support, and assistance of many people: the late Lewis O. Turner who, as president of Greenfield Community College, provided the opportunity to begin the series of interviews of which this book is composed; Greenfield Community College, which gave each of us a sabbatical to complete the manuscript; Lynne Morris, Eleanor Stebbins, and Marilyn O'Brien, who transcribed and typed; the MacLeish Committee, which aided and comforted; the staff of the college library, especially Margaret Howland and Norma Hillier, and the members of the Media Center, who gave professional assistance; members of the MacLeish family, especially Bill and Bruce MacLeish and Ellen MacLeish Zale, who provided photographs and information; Richard McAdoo, who served as consulting editor; Roy Winnick, Alex Rossmann, Frederick Ellis, and Carolyn Nims, who offered suggestions and advice; and finally our colleagues, whose direct and indirect contributions taught us that "colleague" can mean "friend."
