Ask not what Holy Cross can do for you, ask what you can do for Holy Cross.

He spoke at the 3 PM ceremony, after being installed by being presented with the mace by Fr. B. Probably about 25 minutes from the end. |

The speech was outstanding I believe all can agree, that Holy Cross has chosen a leader, who will represent the college with a gifted intellectual dignity and vision.

The Inauguration is a wonderful, historical and certainly transformational day for the College.

Very well done...both by those who set this up and by the words of our new President. May his comments have been prophetic regarding HC future.

Powerful, insightful, thoughtful words delivered with energy, commitment and as he said, hope.
I believe that the Board of Trustees has made the correct choice for a pivotal time.
Godspeed, Vincent.

I just got home from the inauguration. You telling me this was a live video?!!! What the heck did I go up to Worcester for other than to be part of history, I guess.
Actually, Vince’s speech was outstanding and I kept thinking, I hope they’ve taped this so others can see and hear. Prayer answered I guess.
An outstanding program this afternoon.

Welcome to the 21st Century......where you can even send live interactive video to your grandchildren who may reside across the globe. 😁
Glad that you were able to have experience of being physically in the arena to watch a new chapter turn in the glorious history of our Alma Mater.

Perhaps the most interesting conversation will be this one on Saturday. President's Hour Joseph N. Dinand Library, 11 a.m. Please join newly installed President Vincent D. Rougeau in Dinand Library as he addresses the College community and shares his thoughts on the Holy Cross experience. _____________________ Links to videos, photos, and full text of remarks can be found here. www.holycross.edu/presidential-inauguration |

I learned something about the French constitution! __________________________ He made a bit of an architectural dig at BC. Learned something about the French Constitution? I thought you wrote it.😊 Thanks for all the historical knowledge you contribute. Bien sur! ^^^ But that would be smarky. Nearly all the ancestors had long decamped for England (and Ireland) by the time of France's first constitution. Hugh de Neville, King John's "evil counselor", high stakes gambling partner of the King, has his name on the Magna Carta, as one of the 12 illustrious men who 'advised' the King to sign the document. And the Magna Carta is the foundation of the constitutions which came later. Hugh had fought beside Richard the Lionheart in a battle against Saladin during the Third Crusade, escaped being captured on his return from the crusade (Richard was captured by the Holy Roman Emperor and held for ransom). Hugh was Chief Forester of England under Richard, John, and Henry II. The Chief Forester administered 30 percent of the land in England, on behalf of the King, for which he was well compensated. Such a position required that the holder be literate, and two weeks worth of Hugh's household account have survived to this day. One of the entries is a payment of 200 chickens to King John, so that he, Hugh, might enjoy conjugal relations with his own wife. Hugh is not in my direct line. He was probably an uncle or great uncle in my line, about 27-28 generations back.. |

When you have a little extra time, we'd probably all appreciate getting your family tree back to the Garden of Eden and I'd ask if you were from Adam's side or Eve's but I know where that would head.  |

For those who did not know, we now know the true meaning of a commonly and overused adjective. Hugh is to blame. I dare not go further....... 😂
Every day, every hour Crossports serves as a fountain of knowledge. 🤣
