"On
this auspicious occasion we look for inspiration and guidance from the
man whose name our university bears, James Madison," said Board
of Visitors Rector Henry Harrell at the inaugural ceremony on September
17. "He was an early champion of education and he spoke out forcefully
and eloquently on the important linkage between knowledge and liberty.
... Dr. Rose is an adherent of Mr. Madison's noble ideas. He reveres
learning and scholarship. He holds a deep respect for teachers and is
committed to involving the entire university community in a collegial
approach to the challenges of the future. ...He is deeply committed
to the concept of the total educational experience for students. It
is my honor to call Dr. Rose forward to be installed as the fifth president
of James Madison University."
