THE INSTALLATION OF PRESIDENT RICHARD WARCH Richard Warch was installed as the fourteenth president of Lawrence University in a formal ceremony on November 29, 1979. Several past presidents of the university attended the installation, including Nathan Pusey, Curtis Tarr, Douglas Knight and Thomas Smith. Hanna Gray, President of the University of Chicago, and speaker for the occasion, challenged Warch to lead Lawrence according to its best traditions. He accepted this challenge as he accepted the position as president of the university. The lnstallation festivities included the Rededication of Main Hall, the Gala Ball and several concerts. ,,.s..- f ' ' ' , .

And we must affirm that to adhere to our traditional values is not to deny that we should also be venturesome and imaginative. In arguing that Lawrence should be constant in its purpose, l also intend that the university be bold in its purpose. We will serve our region and nation best if we hold fast to our mission in the face of the myriad distractions and distortions that will assail us in the next ten years. And we must be prepared to defend the genius of the university against those who would have us compromise that genius for short-term rewards. -Acceptance Speech, November 29, 1979 A liberal education is for free men and women. It is, in its largest and most ambitious formulation, an education that preserves and examines the tri- umphs of human imagination and experience, that values the worth and dignity of the individual, that affirms that a life of meaning involves a life of service, that believes that learned persons shape the social order in which they live. It is not an education designed to foster or pander to voca- tionalism that is merely self-serving. -Unamuno Begs to Differ, Matriculation speech, September 27, 1979 lg -Y - if I' -I V , f ill 'jar I.

Woe to our nation and to ourselves if we respond only with a self-serving value-free intelligence that professes neither competence nor inclination to render judgements. -Unamuno Begs to Differ, Matriculation speech, September 27, 1979
