President McLaughlin and President Freedman, my fellow Dartmouth Trustees, Professor Franklin, Assembly President Green, colleagues from the faculty, from the staff and administration, graduates, honored guests, Dartmouth students, good friends and neighbors: It is with a sense of awe and with keen anticipation that I embrace this new responsibility at the institution I have loved and served for 29 years, under four presidents.

The summer of 1998 was a quiet one compared with the event-filled academic year that preceded it. The administrative turnover and building and alcohol controversies were followed by a restful season for those students and staff who remained on campus.

Last year, Neil LaBute's film debut, "In the Company of Men," shocked audiences with its brutal and acerbic take on sexual politics in the workplace. His sophomore effort, "Your Friends and Neighbors," similarly follows the sordid lives of six individuals with very idiosyncratic sex lives.

These are the people about whom I am writing.

On picking courses: I'm sure you all heard that the average grade for courses like Music 4 and Philosophy 8 is an A, and most of you are all signing up for them, expecting an easy A. My advice to you is: don't. I've known people who didn't do as well as they expected. To me, professors make all the difference in the world. A good professor can make Shakespeare sound sensible and the driest of subjects exciting.

Doesn't it feel like we all moved in for the summer just minutes ago? As if the bounty of the summer season was stretched out before us instead of all used up?
