MR. TERRELL:

PRES. MORGAN:

This introduction should have been
first and I apologize that we got into the
meeting a little early but I would like at
this time to introduce Mr. Terrell who is
Secretary of the Colorado Watershed Associa-
tion and to have 'him introduce to us his
boss and our host for the day, the Presi-
dent of the Colorado State University."

I

"Thank you Mr. Stapleton. It is a
pleasure to introduce to you President
Morgan, President of Colorado State Uni-
versity. He was delayed by reason of a.
long distance telephone call and couldn't
get here sooner. Is this the balance of
your prepared program?"

"No. We have a Water Investigation
Commission report, then we will go into
the "Waterhole" but I thought maybe at
this time, the President is probably a
busy man, we would like to just hear a
few words of greeting from him."

"Fine. Then it is with a great deal
of pleasure that I introduce to you Presi-
dent Morgan, President of Colorado State
University."

"Mr. Chairman, members of the Board
and visitors, I feel obliged to say some-
thing that is worth recording and I'm
afraid I don't just have it in me at this
sudden notice. Mr. Terrell explained to
you the reason for my not being here to
greet you when you arrived at ten o'clock.
I was sorry about that but I am sure that
the same thing happens to you when you
have been held up by telephone calls. If
you haven't learned about it, there is a
Legislature in session at the moment. You
have been talking money matters this morn-
ing so I think you can put those two com-
ments together and realize what I was dis-
cussing on the telephone.

I

For sometime we here at this institu-
tion have been anxious to have the Board
hold one of its meetings on this campus in
the hope that it would become a habit and
that at least once a year you would schedule
one of your regular meetings here. Why?
