 And they have named this library the Bernden-Roger Alden Library. I mentioned only one building in my address and that was the need for a new library. A great library is the heart of any great university. The library represents an opportunity to learn and grow. As an international student, I feel safe here. It's a very friendly place. The people who work here with the front desk or other custodians, they are very helpful. The reason that I come here more than anywhere else is because I cannot focus in my dorm rather than people walking around and talking really loudly while I'm trying to do something here. The mood is just let everything be and do your own thing. That's important to me. I want students, faculty, staff and members of the community to enjoy being in this building and to use this building as a part of their daily life on campus. But we also want them to understand and be exposed to some of the history that's here on campus. And for the libraries and for the university, Alden is a significant part of that history. He was an emergent leader in higher education and in the business world. He started an enormous number of initiatives, the building of the Convocation Center, the building of Alden Library. One of the main things I learned about Dr. Alden, how open he was to talking with students, he would often ask students, how was their day? Any student that would appear to be lost, he was sure to help them out. Fernan Alden had a huge impact on the university. This library is named after him. This was his place. This continues to be his place. And I think the library represents a place for students to come and learn, as well as provide support for students. The display cases which recognize and celebrate Dr. Alden were conceived for a refresh in the renovation of the second floor. I thought it was a way to share his accomplishments as president and as namesake of the library with the individuals who visit the library today. In 2011, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Dr. Alden on more than one occasion and I found him to be an absolute delight. And one really could see his energy, his engagement, his enthusiasm and his love for Ohio University. Having that personal experience with Dr. Alden made me very much want to somehow have the display communicate all of those amazing qualities that he possesses as a human being, which he certainly used in his presidency, but also shared with the university after his departure. It's an opportunity to tell the story of Dr. Alden's impact on Ohio University and particularly of his special relationship with the libraries.
