Flanked by tin- olor guard (right). Ping steps up to the platform at the beginning of the inaugural ceremony. Minutes later he was administered the oath of office bv Chief Justice C. William O ' Neill, making Ping O.U. ' s 18th president. Ping is framed (below) by two of the entourage of University trustees, former University presidents, and other inaugural officials on the platform. Held on March 6th and employing the vastness of the Convocation Center, the first public inauguration of a university president since Vernon Alden in 1962 was attended by close to 1,000 persons. With a seeming suspense that led up to the entrance of Ping, 132 delegates from educational institutions and organizations filed in, sporting brilliantly colorful delegate robes. Superficially, it was a display of splendor, but underneath it all, trie concept was simple; Ohio University now had a new president — Charles Ping. Bill Wade Expressions of interest (left and above) were shown during Ping ' s 31-page speech.

University faculty, administrators, and former O.ll. presidents (far left and far right in front row of the platform are John C. Baker and Vernon Alden) listen and look on. RIGHT: Ping looks up to the public in the Convocation Center as he delivers his inaugural address. Splendid, magnificent, stately, and other adjectives came to mind in descriptions by viewers of Charles J. Ping ' s inauguration as Ohio University ' s 18th president. Although there were some audible grumblings over the cost of the ceremony, the expense was felt by many to be justifiable. One student said, Ping will have to prove himself, and an inauguration ceremony won ' t change anything. Thai ' s why I saw the inauguration as basically simple and done in good taste. He added, It wasn ' t blown up and pompous as 1 thought it would be.
