Winegard paid his first official visit to the University of Guelph campus and addressed the members of the faculty and their wives at a special meeting in War Memorial Hall. In introducing the new President, Chairman of the Board of Governors, T.A. McEwan, paid tribute to Dr. Winegard's outstanding qualifications for the demanding role he has accepted. "Selecting our newPresident was not the most difficult, but it was the most important decision made in 1966," he said. Dr. Winegard, in his remarks, said, "I can never understand the argument that a professor could do research without teaching, or teach without doing research. I hope to continue doing research, and a little teaching." This campus has an outstanding and proud past. I look to the future, knowing that much hard work has been done in the past. I will continue to aim for the ideal - a sense of purpose and excellence in my chosen field." In conclusion, he told the story of Thomas Jefferson, who when presenting his credentials as Ambassador to France, received the comment, "I see you have come to replace Benjamin Franklin."
