Dr. Gordon P. Eaton was installed as President of Iowa State University on a cold, blustery day, March 29, 1987. A large snowstorm struck the Ames area the day before, dropping five inches of snow on Ames, and up to twelve inches in other parts of Iowa. Travel to the pre-Installation luncheon was treacherous, with only about half of the invitees able to attend.
Eaton's installation coincided with the 125th anniversary of the Morrill Land-Grant College Act, as well as the Centennial of the Hatch Act and the Centennial of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, which is the oldest higher education association in the country.
The installation was held at Hilton Coliseum and began with a processional of honored guests marching in academic regalia. During the installation, Eaton was honored by greetings from the faculty, students, alumni, State Board of Regents, and Governor Terry Branstad as well as a special musical presentation titled Brave Dancing, composed by Dr. Gary White, professor of music at Iowa State University, and dedicated to Dr. Eaton. The installation address, entitled "The Challenges and Necessity of Change," discussed how Eaton planned to implement changes to the University to help continue the tradition of research and education as well as serve the greater state and national communities. The program ended with the performance of The Bells of Iowa State by the ISU Symphony and the Iowa State Singers. A reception in the Scheman Building followed the ceremony.
President Eaton resigned in 1990 to become director of the Columbia University's Lamont -Doherty Geological Observatory. In 1994, Dr. Eaton was appointed by President Clinton as Director of the U.S. Geological Survey. He retired in 1997.
