Introduction by Governor Wetherby Keck: I have known Adron Doran for quite a few years. I first I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the met him in a school room in Western Kentucky. He was Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of princ ipal of Wingo School. From that day to this, I have this Commonwealth, and be faithful and true to the had many experiences with him. I've seen him during Commonwealth of Kentucky as long as 1 continue a citizen this period serve his fellow man. He's had a varied thereof, and that I will faithfully execute, to the best of career. He1s served as my personal representative on my ability, the office of President of Morehead State the Southern Regional Educational Board. He presided College according to law; and I do further solemnly swear over the House of Representatives as Speaker in 1950, (or affirm) that since the adoption of the present when I had the pleasure of presiding over the Senate. Constitution, I , being a c itize n of this State, have not f ought a duel with d eadly weapons within the State nor out He is a past president of the Kentucky Education of it, n or have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight Association. He is the man that I feel Morehead State a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second College needs. Itl s a real pleasure to present to you in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any per the 7th P r esident of Morehead State College ll Dr. A d r o n son thus offending, so help me God. Dor an. 8 9 We are here, then, first to honor this new leader, A TIME FOR GREATNESS this new president; sec ondly, we are here to pledge anew our allegia nce to this college ; and l a st, we are here to join to Chyster C. Travelstead gethe r with the m in surveying the road ahead - to view with since rity and awe th e great responsibility which is theirs.
As we gather here today in the heart of these beautiful The fir s t rea son, t h en, f o r our corning is to honor the Kentucky mountains, it seeInS appropriate that we should ask m an, Adron Doran . Adron i s n o w well know n to all of you. ourselves the question, Why are we here? Why are these It is n ot my intention to i ntr o duce h i m or to describe in any reporters here to write stories about this event? Why is the detai 1 an account of his very fruitful l ife. T hes e b i ograp h Governor here to preside at this cereInony? Why are you ical d e tails have been made a vailabl e to u s a ll b y the excellent stude nts here? Why have your parents sacrificed to send you college, local, a n d state newspaper s. T h e usual abilitie s here and why have many of them traveled great distances to and a ccomplishments of Adron and Mignon Doran could serve visit this campus today? Why have these alumni and friends well as the topic for a separate speech, but that can be saved asseInbled here in large numbers? Why did I drive 600 Iniles for another time. from South Carolina to participate in this program? Why are we all here? Rather do I want to talk directly to this new president from the bottoyn of my heart about this great responsibility The answer to these questions would be different in which is now his. All of us know of his great energy, industry part, but underlying them all is a basic answer which is the and enthusiasm. He is always busy - always doing things for saIne for everyone here. That answer might be stated some other s.

I would remind you some of these problems; we see today this college inviting again, President Doran, that this i s trul y a "time for g r e at and receiving a new leader -a leader whose responsibilities ness", but at the same time I would like to rep eat the words will be great, but whose 'Very record itself gives evidence of greatness.

As We ccnsider the strength and stature an ad mon ~ don of Harriet Ward Beecher, "Greatnes s lies not attained when Morehead College and Adron Doran join hands in being strong, but in the right use of strength." May God in this common venture. I am reminded of two great rivers bles s you, Adron Doran, in this noble ventures comi ng together to form an even grea ter and more powerful river which sweeps through a broad valley to give much The second reason for our corning is to pledge anew needed water to the people of that valley. our a llegiance to Morehead College.

The More head College and Adron Doran will, in their combined psalmists' words, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, strength, sweep through the valley like the mighty river and from whence cometh my help," could well be used to describe bring help to those who need it. One needs only to look at a the way people have thought about Morehead College set upon ' few of these problems and issues to be found on this road a hill.

" 12 13 The
These problems, and many more at the state and local level s, Morehead College and Adron Doran must face together in the years ahead. So big are some of these jobs, that in the face of them, many people would lose heart, and I have the faith that this college and this man, with the guidance of our Divin e Leader, can and will solve fairly those problems which face them now and in the future.
Man is inherently optimistic. With every change he holds the expectation of a better future. We are, by our very presence here today, committing ourselves to massive co operation and mobilization of all our forces with energy and ingen uity to promote better training for women and men, and throu gh them better education for girls and boys, that this gene::.-ation and future generations may attain and maintain a guali ty of living that is acceptable to God and all men every where.
In closing I would li\ 14 BEGINNING AGAIN Adron Doran have acted to elevate this institution above the level of petty, Governor Wetherby, Judge Keck, Dr. Travelstead, personal, and political considerations, and I say of him who Dean Lappin, Superintendent Butler, Members of the Board "no greater desire hath any man than the desire to him who of Re gents, official delegate s, distingui shed gue sts , students presides at this program today to place, not only this and 0 ther friends of Morehead State College.
