The new president of Doane College in Crete, Nebraska knows how to make an entrance. Jacque Carter, inaugurated Saturday as the 12th president of the liberal arts and sciences school, dressed in late-19th-century clothes and rode through campus on horseback Friday.
The display during Friday's ceremonial festivities was in tribute to the college's founding president David Brainerd Perry, who served as Doane's president for 40 years. His hitching post still stands on campus.
Carter succeeds Jonathan Brand, who left last summer to become president of Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Carter had been an administrator at the University of New England.
