“This is an exciting time for me and for Hampden-Sydney College. As I assume the presidency of this esteemed educational institution, we both begin new chapters in our respective lives. While I have accepted the charge of the Board of Trustees to continue the traditions that have guided this College since 1775, the College itself is renewed by the success of our recently completed fundraising campaign, Through These Gates. Thanks to your generosity, our students have a first-class library, the finest facilities in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, and more opportunities to help pay for college.”

“You will see the Hampden-Sydney College I see. As many of you have heard me say at alumni gatherings, I see this institution as a living being with a mind, a body, and a soul. As such, its health can be evaluated; we can measure its development, its progress and setbacks, and make decisions about how to make the College a healthier and more capable institution.”
