\u201cThis is one of the highest honors of my life,\u201d said Williams. \u201cTransylvania is an extraordinary liberal arts college, and, as a historian, I am in awe of its rich history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams, who became president on August 1, 2011, earned an A.B. in philosophy from Dartmouth College, an M.A. in intellectual history from Cambridge University, a master\u2019s of law from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in history, specializing in nineteenth-century American history, from Yale University. <\/p>\n

\u201cA presidential inauguration is a fitting way in which to celebrate the heritage of the college,\u201d said William F. Pollard, vice president and dean of the college and inauguration chair. \u201cIt honors past presidents and leaders who have helped shaped the university since its founding and marks the start of a new chapter in Transylvania\u2019s distinguished history.\u201d <\/p>\n

The inaugural symposium will be presented Thursday, April 28, at 3 p.m. in Haggin Auditorium and focuses on Williams\u2019s scholarly work. \u201cThe Civil War and Reconstruction in the Border States: History and Memory at the Sesquicentennial\u201d features four nationally recognized speakers and former colleagues of Williams\u2014David Blight<\/strong>, professor of American history at Yale University; Annette Gordon-Reed<\/strong>, professor of law and history at Harvard University; John McCardell<\/strong>, vice chancellor and president of The University of the South; and Jed Shugerman<\/strong> (moderator), assistant professor of law at Harvard. <\/p>\n

The installation ceremony, the symposium and several other events and exhibitions (listed below) are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invite the Lexington community to join us for this very special occasion and to enjoy the academic pageantry and regalia, the music and the celebration of Transylvania\u2019s future,\u201d said William T. Young, Jr., chairman of the Board of Trustees. <\/p>\n
