Statement from E. Gordon Gee

STATEMENT FROM E. GORDON GEE, PRESIDENT, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

     Thursday, June 22, 1995

     "After considering a truly remarkable and unique professional
opportunity in higher education, I have decided to remain at The Ohio State
University as I have work left unfinished, and because of the extraordinary
support I and the university have received from our Board of Trustees and
our Foundation Board; Ohio State faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni
and friends; Governor George Voinovich and the Ohio legislative leadership;
state and community business leaders, and the media.  Constance and I love
the university and believe that its brightest days still lie ahead.  We wish
to be part of that future, and we thank the people of Ohio for allowing us
to do so."
