Help is here .
I take it with pleasure. Following my discussion with the Trustees this weekend and now being here, at this place, this afternoon, with friends and colleagues, and reflecting upon the exciting opportunities we have ahead of us, gives me a great sense of anticipation. I am grateful for this singular opportunity to lead Dartmouth into a new century. I thank the Trustees for their confidence. I would also like to add my thanks to those of Mr. King in recognizing the contributions of President Freedman and Mrs. Freedman.
