rAVONTICOLA. ANEW milestone of educational progress was firmly imbedded in state soil when Dr. John Roscoe Turner was formally inaug- urated the tenth president of West V irginia University on November 29, 1928 to succeed Dr. Frank Butler Trotter. The impressive ceremonies took place in the spacious new Men ' s Field House, before a brilliant concourse of several thousand persons, including representatives of more than fifty universities and colleges, state dignitaries, faculty members, leading citizens, alumnae, and students. The program which preceded the formal inauguration was so well arranged and conducted as to produce fervored approbation. The march of the undergrauates initiated the programmed events of the day. Then the colorful academic procession slowly wended its way from Martin Hall to the Field House with impressive step. The presiding chairman. Judge Edward G. Smith took charge of the assemblage in the Field House shortly after 2:30 o ' clock. After invocation by Dr. Robert Armstrong, a delightful and inspiring mus- ical program offered entertainment to the vast audience. Judge Smith then formally inducted Dr. Turner into office, and the new president delivered his inaugural address. Dr. Turner embraced the desire for immediate progress for est Virginia University in setting forth his elaborate educational program. After congratulatory remarks by Governor Howard M. Gore and Edward S. Parsons, President of Mari- etta College, Dr. Armstrong pronounced benediction, and the exer- cises closed with a short musical program by the Cadet Band. - Page Twenty-Nine
