 I tell you about the times in Ohio, in the six years at Ohio University, the enrollment on main campus had more than doubled. Graduate enrollment had increased four times. In fact, had jumped from 341 to 736. So while the time, the population had grown very rapidly and suddenly Athens, Ohio had become a very important center. Ohio University was a public university, but it seemed more like a private university. I thought to myself that we ought to treat Ohio University more like a private university, even though we're getting public funding, and I was doing private fundraising. And I had hoped there could be an exceptional place for young people to go to. We tried to control the size of it, so it wouldn't get too big. And so it turned out to be a very fine university. My father was a congregational minister, and we had a church in a small town, about 60 miles west of the Minneapolis, called Dassel, Dassel, Minnesota. And my mother did not trust the hospital there in Dassel, so she went to Chicago, where she lived, where she grew up, and I was born on April 7th, 1923 in Chicago. And then my father took a church in Moline, Illinois, and we lived right on Fifth Avenue. The war broke out in 1941, and so I went to Columbia University and got my commission as an instant in the Navy. And then I was put aboard the USS Saratoga and aircraft carrier. So we went all around the Pacific Ocean on this aircraft carrier, which I enjoyed very much. We actually didn't get into war at all, but it was nice to be on this aircraft carrier. When I got out of the Navy, I went to Harvard Business School. And then when I graduated, they asked me to become the associate dean there. So I worked at Harvard Business School for a while. In 1951, I married Mary Ann Alden, and I was invited to become president of Ohio University. So that's when we moved to Ohio. Mary Ann was a wonderful, wonderful person. Not only a good parent, but she also was a very good public person. People liked her very much, so she made a wonderful university president's wife. And I still miss her, but she was a perfect person. It was amazing that I had been a university president. And I had planned the U.S. Job Corps, and I had worked with President Eisenhower, and I'd go to Washington to help with the work on the Job Corps program and the war on poverty. Then all of a sudden, Life Magazine decided to publish an article about me, which was amazing. In a sense, it put Ohio University on the map. Because I don't know when the President of the United States had come before, but here he was in front of the whole audience. With us today, the 36th President, Lyndon Baines Johnson. Under Dr. Alden's leadership, Ohio University is setting a national standard of leadership. And attacking the problems of area economic development. Yes, I realized that the faculty was the most important element in the university. So I had to pay attention to them and get to know them well. And I got to know many faculty members quite well. And so we tried to bring in some new ones that were good and promote the ones that were very good. So I spent a lot of time with the faculty at Ohio. I said one time that the library was the most important place within the university. It serves as a resource for the faculty, for the students, for the townspeople. So I thought that the library was a very important place. So I was overwhelmed when they decided to name it after me. And very pleased about that. To keep pace with this growth, I mentioned only one building in my address. That was the need for a new library. I used the same expression that Tom Little did this afternoon that a great library is the heart of any great university. Les Rollins was a very wonderful person I got to know at the Harvard Business School. And we tried to identify people who were bright and had a nice personality. And we named them the Ohio Fellows. So we could give them a special opportunity to get to know people and to give an uprising to their career. First of all, I enjoyed athletics myself. I enjoyed baseball very much. And I thought that also people to identify colleges with sports, Notre Dame and others were well known because of their athletics. So I thought that athletics should be an important part of the university. The Hawking River went right through town. And every so often it overwhelmed with flooding. It destroyed crops for people. It destroyed houses and so on. So I felt it was very important for me to try to move that river. So I got federal funding and I was able to move and contain the Hawking River. So that was a major project which I helped to finance on federal money. We always believed in the opportunities for black and white students. And we always emphasized that we had equal opportunity for everybody. And so I tried to encourage them to get to know people well of both races. Japan was very important to me because I was lucky enough to be sent to a Japanese language school in Boulder, Colorado. So I learned to speak the Japanese language and got to know very many Japanese people. So Japan became very important to me. And I was hoping that someday I'd be able to visit Japan, which I did do. And so Japan was an important part of my life. And they also gave me a nice award, a Lifetime Achievement Award. To me, libraries are important on a campus. It's almost like the heartbeat of a campus. And so the fact that they were nice enough to name it after me still makes that library very important to me. And thousands of students go through with it there. And so I'm so proud of the fact that they just say the name it after me. Ha ha ha ha!
