For 45 minutes, ROTC members stood at attention for Chancellor Glenn Boyce as he followed the formal Chancellor’s Review cere- mony. Boyce quoted Colin Powell during his speech to the ROTC, saying “success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence. A dream doesn’t become real- ity through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.”
