Text: Commencement Remarks: Sunday, May 10, 1992. In behalf of the trustees and faculty of Davidson College I bid welcome to the commencement exercises in the 155th year of this institution. The first word must be one of thanks to tall who make this occasion possible: parents, loved ones, friends, faculty and staff.
A special custom of this occasion is the announcement of the names and years of services of all those members of the College family who enjoy their own "commencement" of sorts during this year as they retire from active and/or full time service. I ask that you join me at the end of the reading of this list in expressing our appreciation to each and all for what their skills and efforts have meant to the life of this institution:
