tfy wonc9ty ' Dr. and ' Tftia. s4d m On May 1, 1989 the ceremonies for the dedication of the Ralph Wyatt Adams Admin- istration Building and the Re- dedication of the Dorothy Kelly Adams Universty Cen- ter were held. The Star Spangled Banner , played by The Sound of the South, sig- nified the opening of the ceremony. Bill Buchannon, director of University Rela- tions, welcomed Dr. and Mrs. Adams ' family, current and former Troy State Board members, members of the legislature, Troy State offi- cials, and students. Wallace Malone delivered he dedicatory remarks. Ralph ' s commitment to Troy State has been a labor of ove and a 365 days a year job, and because it has been a la- bor of love, it has never been a burden, stated Wallace Malone as he delivered the dedicatory remarks. Gover- nor Guy Hunt was unable to attend the dedication cere- mony, due to prior engage- ments, but he sent a prere- corded message comment- ing on how Alabama owes a great debt to Dr. and Mrs. Adams for his twenty five years of outstanding services and achievements. The Adams Center re- ceived a name change at the ceremony. The Adams Cen- ter, previously named the Ralphs Wyatt Adams Univer- sity Center, was rededicated to honor Troy State ' s first lady, Dorothy Kelley Adams. The Adams Center is consid- ered the living room of Troy State. The Adams Cen- ter provides conference space, ballrooms, and places for students to socialize, shop and eat. The Adminis- tration Building is the heart of Troy State. The building is convient and efficient be- cause students and adminis- trators can do almost all of their university business un- der one roof. The new Ad- ministration Buildings is 52,000 square feet and cost approxiametely three mil- lions dollars. During the Adams ' Ad- ministration Troy State has grown from a teachers col- lege to a liberal arts universi- ty to a international system. Dr. Adams has served as president of Troy since Oc- tober 1, 1964. At the time Troy State was a small state supported institution with barely 2,000 students, now, the Troy State University Sys- tem has 12,000 students at- tending ( lasses on campuses in Alabama, Georgia, Florida. and Europe. The progress is mainly due to the efforts of Dr. Adams and his love for Troy State. It seems onk fit- ting thai the heart of Troy State should be named and dedicated to him. Mrs. Ad- ams ' love for the progress of the social well-being of the studen ts is exemplified by the dedication of the living center of Troy State Univer- sity. With the growth of Troy State over the past 25 years, it seems only fitting that the heart of the campus and the living room of Tro State should be dedicated to two very special people who will never be forgotten. Thanks Dr. and Mrs. Adams! Lett Ralph talwns cuts the dedica- tory ribbon for the grand opening ol the Ralph att dams dminisrra- tion Building The dmlnl .tratlon Building V
