McCloy Keynotes Centennial Convocation THE Centennial Year Celebration was officially started October 4, 1962 with the Centennial Convocation, held on the Student Union lawn. Some 2500 students, alumni, faculty, and friends of the University observed the colorful exercises. After the impressive procession, Centennial Chairman, James T. Nicholson, opened the ceremony, over which President John W. Lederle presided. Greetings from the Commonwealth were extended by Governor John A. Volpe. The keynote address was presented by John McCloy, Chairman of President Kennedy ' s General Advisory Committee on Disarmament. He pointed to his alma mater, Amherst College, and the University as two institutions representing the two distinctly American contributions which this country made to the advance- ment of education in the 19th century, meaning the liberal college and the land- grant college. The latter became, he added, the answer to the needs of a devel- oping community with a still-existing frontier. Today they have to adapt them- selves to the just-as-acute problems which a highly developed society generates. McCloy joined the presidents of the three neighboring colleges to receive hon- orary degrees. William H. Ross, professor of physics, was presented the Univer- sity ' s first Distinguished Teacher Award. 23
