A Markdown version of Emerson College president M. Lee Pelton's inaugural address. The page on Emerson's website from which it was previously accessible was apparently deleted (http://www.emerson.edu/inauguration/inaugural-address), so I went to the Internet Archive and saved a permanent copy here.

As prepared for delivery

Thank you. I would like to acknowledge Board President Jeff Greenhawt, Presidents emeriti Jackie Liebergott and Richard Chapin, the Emerson College Board of Trustees, Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Tom Menino (who was with us this morning), other elected officials, Ron Crutcher, and our speaker Andy Delbanco. I also extend greetings to the Emerson College community, and our friends and family.
