Remarks as prepared for delivery on May 9, 2015


Thank you Bob, my friend and cherished professor. I know you remember all those years ago, sitting for many hours and...Franklin &amp; Marshall College offers students a hands-on education that emphasizes close relationships with faculty. Students flourish in a supportive community that treats them as an individual, and their successes continue long after F&amp;M. The College is a national leader in launching students and alumni to opportunities where they make a difference in the community and the world.</description><author>Jason Klinger</author><image><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2XxHL0cQdn4/hqdefault.jpg" alt="Richard Plepler: Stick with the Optimists"/></image><image-caption/></item>
