On campus for his 80th class reunion during Alumni Weekend, Dr. Ben James 鈥�34 enhanced his 鈥淢r. Dickinson鈥� moniker when he also became President Ben James, if only for a day.

鈥淏en and I had a conversation at the beginning of the year, where he shared with me his history at Dickinson,鈥� said President Nancy A. Roseman. 鈥淚 said, 鈥楤en, the only thing you have never been is the president of Dickinson. We need to do something about that someday.' 鈥� Someday came June 14, 2014, as Roseman and Dickinson鈥檚 Board of Trustees named James Honorary President of the Day.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 an honor, and I know it鈥檚 a joy,鈥� James said, 鈥渢o have the president of 麻豆区 give this expression of love for the college, for both of us.鈥�
