Welcome back to Taunton, returning students. And to those of you that are new this fall, we are very pleased to have you. I know I mentioned this in my speech today, and I'm told repeating myself is a sign of old age, but let me again say that my door is always open should you have any concerns.

Now, I would like to announce the opening of Frost Auditorium. Parents, alumni and interested community members are welcome to attend the opening ceremony. Please note that the name has nothing to do with the temperature of the room, so please leave any scarves and mittens at home.
