By Brian Fitzgerald
Designing a work of engineering is similar to beginning a work of art. It starts in the imagination and the mind.

A memorial service for John Daverio (CFA'75, '76, GRS'83), a CFA professor of music, chairman of the school of musicology department and of the CAS and GRS department of music, will be help on Sunday, May 4, at 6 p.m., at the Tsai Performance Center. A reseption will follow at the Photonics Center. For more information log on to www.bu.edu/cfa. John Daverio, says Chancellor John Silber, was a "superb scholar and teacher...respected by all who knew him and adored by those who knew him well," whose loss "is measured by the magnitude of his talents, virtues, and achievements." To memorialize Daverio, Silber has commissioned Theodore Antoniou, a CFA school of music professor, to compose a symphonic work to be premiered at a concert by the BU Symphony Orchestra a Boston's Symphony Hall in 2004.
