letterfmm the Preyidem The Chief Justice theme this year, The Im- pact Never Fades, can be read in several ways. Obviously, Marshall University has had a lasting impact on many thousands of lives, perhaps millions, during its first 150 years. We hear daily from many of those people - alum- ni, retired faculty and staff members, residents of the community whom Marshall has touched in some way. The list could go on and on. Our Sesquicentennial observance throughout 1987 reflects Marshall's impact over many generations. At the same time, it highlights the future, lasting impact of some of today's developments. One example is the new Society of Yeager Scholars which is truly getting off the ground with the arrival of the first group of Yeager Scholars in fall, 1987. This program, named in honor of West Virginian Chuck Yeager, the daredevil test pilot who broke the sound barrier in an experimental aircraft, will have a tremendous impact. It will have an impact on the students themselves - 20 of the nation's most outstanding will enroll each year until we have a full complement of 80. The goal of the Society of Yeager Scholars is to prepare these very intelligent, motivated young men and women for leadership roles in our society. Many will remain residents or become permanent residents of out state and region. Others Will choose future careers elsewhere. But as leaders, they are going to have an impact wherever they go. There are, of course, several other programs designed to attract excellent students to Mar- shall. These include the John Marshall Scholars, the new program to provide full scholarship help to academically outstanding minority students, the Search Committee on Recruitment of Excellent Students tSCORESl and the Academic Festival which annually brings more Spouting 0,? on the Memorial Student Center Plaza, the Memorial Fountain remember: the 10:: of the fbothall team in the 1970 plane frdlh. than 3,000 of the region's best high school students to campus. All these have a very positive, long-term impact. There are, of course, many, many other ways Marshall University is having a lasting impact, ranging from the Sesquicentennial observance to the athletic fields, from those very special people presiding in our classrooms to the good things which happen as a result of our economic development programs. Most of all, we hope and believe that Mat- shall University will have a very favorable, lifelong impact on you e the student! Sincerely, Mam Dde F.
