Dr Ross Paul Installed as the Fifth President of the University of
Windsor
At an impressive ceremony during the Sixty-Eighth Convocation of the University of Windsor, on Saturday June 4, 1998 at 10.00 a.m. the Chancellor Dr. Frederic L.. R. Jackman, administered the oath of office.
Dr Paul, President-Designate was escorted by the Vice-President, Administration and Finance and the Executive Dean of Graduate Studies and Research to the podium. The Chair of the Board of Governors asked the Chancellor to Install the President.
The Chancellor addressed the President-Designate as follows;
"Do you, Ross Paul, pledge yourself to perform the duties of the President of the University of Windsor as prescribed by law and by the statutes of the University and do you promise to defend the rules and promote the welfare of the University and members thereof?"
The President-designate responded - " I do so promise"
The Vice President and Executive Dean robed the President-designate.
The Chancellor installed the President with the following words:
"In the name of the University of Windsor I now install you, Ross Paul in the Office of President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Windsor with the authority and charge you with the responsibilities pertaining to that Office"
The Beadle then invited guest representatives from other institutions to convey their greetings to the President.
The Chancellor invited President Paul to address Convocation.
Dr. Paul had a simple message for the graduating students. To be successful in life, you must never stop learning or listening. "The degree that you receive today will work if you see it as a beginning" he told them, "if it represents for you new skills, a new curiosity, a new tolerance, new passions, new friendships, new networks and especially a new openness to ideas and ways of looking at the world".
He should know. He's taken his own advice. This is evident in the major position paper he released to the University community, two days before his installation as President. (See page 2)
