At
a meeting for faculty, staff and students on April 25, 2001, the
day after the
Great Fire, President Cormier stated, "And let me tell
you again, Longwood remains strong and we will see the
Ruffners and
Grainger rise from the ashes and
assume new life. This I promise you."
We will take another step toward fulfilling this promise on
Thursday, December 12, with the official groundbreaking for
our beloved Ruffners. You are cordially invited to attend the
ceremony, which will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Bicentennial
Park across the street from the construction site.
Refreshments will be served in the Gallery of Lancaster Hall.
This will be a very significant day in the life of Longwood, the
beginning of the rebuilding of the University's signature
building. We hope very much that you will be able to join us.
[In case of inclement weather, the program
will be held in the Gallery of Lancaster Hall.]
