I welcome you as a reader of this first publication of DOERS AND DEEDS. Its focus is on academics - the strengths of our faculty, students and programsat Western Kentucky University. The outstanding achievements reflect the high academic quality of our university.
The title of our publication grows out of the affirmation by Dr. Henry Hardin Cherry, Western 's first president, that "back of the deed was the doer - back of the doer, the dream." The "deeds" and "doers" recognized here are helping us realize Western Kentucky University's academic aspirations. I invite you to share with us in celebrating these refledions of the academic excellence that characterizes our university, as we continue toward our goal of being the best comprehensive public institution in Kentucky and among the best in the nation.
