To do this, students must have some standard of judgement, some idea of good and bad; they must know, beyond a doubt, which values are so essential they ought to be preserved and guarded.”’ In stating his objective, once again, Dr. Bishop commented that he will not attempt to prepare students to adjust to a current environment, but rather to develop a better environment. Before accepting the charge given him by Chairman Billings, Dr. Bishop asked his wife, Carolyn Bishop, to come to his side at the rostrum, noting that his charge and his responsibility was not one that he could accomplish by himself. With his lovely wife by his side, he then accepted the charge given him by the faculty and staff of the college. The new President’s remarks ended in a tumultous ovation that brought the near capacity crowd in the Fine Arts Auditorium to its feet. A benediction to the inauguration was delivered by The Very Reverend Joseph L. Federal, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Utah.

Dr. Sanford is a former governor of the state of North Carolina, and was a favorite son nominee for president at the 1972 Democratic Convention. In his inaugural address, Dr. Sanford spoke of the role of society and industry in dehumanizing all levels of American life during the past decade. He addressed the thought that the complex problems of modern society could be solved only through efficiency and dehumanization. Dr. Sanford went on to say that this had quite apparently not worked and has extracted from the American people a terrible price. Now he said, “‘the nation must restructure to its entire society from education, economics, to politics. Our society needs a rebirth of humanism; we must measure progress in something more than dollars and materials. Schools can’t simply teach students how to use technology; they must teach students how to anticipate all human consequences of that use.’’ Peter W. Billings, Chairman of the Utah State Board of Higher Education, conducted the investiture to office of Dr. Bishop and. placed the medallion of office around the neck of the new President. In his charge to Dr. Bishop, Chairman Billings commented that today’s college president must be more of a crisis manager and added, “If he doesn’t have a full blown crisis on his hands he has just survived one or is planning how to meet the next one.”’ He also commented that in the discharge of his responsibilities, Dr. Bishop must keep physically fit, emotionally calm, and be innovative, responsive and responsible. ' In further commenting on Dr. Bishop’s qualifications, Governor Rampton commented; ‘‘Dr. Bishop is young enough not to have grown resistant to change, but wise enough to understand what is required of Weber State and our system of higher education ... He will make a material contribution to Weber State College, our system of higher education and our entire state.”’ In addition to representatives from the State Board of Education, the Institutional Council, faculty, administration and members of state and local governments, the Inaugural Ceremony was attended by representatives from some 200 colleges, universities, and learned societies in the United States, plus 51 student representatives. Those attending represented institutions in 46 of the 50 states and 11 foreign countries. As the actual Inaugural Ceremony began, an invocation was asked on the proceedings by Elder Thomas Monson, a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
