In 1972, Jerome B. Wiesner, the 13th president of MIT, established the Council to strengthen the arts at MIT and to expand arts funding. As MIT president, Wiesner transformed the Institute, recognizing that being the best in science and engineering was not enough–that tomorrow’s leaders also need to integrate the arts and humanities into their thinking about engineering, science, technology and policy. For the celebration of the 40th anniversary of CAMIT’s founding, the Council commissioned a short film about its history.
