After Chiang Mai University had the ceremony to set up its educational victory on October 2, 1963, came another notable ceremony of laying the foundation stone at one of the main buildings (the present day Salatham). The ceremony was presided over by Field Marshall Sarit THanarat, the Prime Minister at the time. The chairpersons speech is quoted as follows:
I am delighted to visit the people of Chiang Mai and to perform the ceremony of the laying of the foundation stone of this first regional university. Honored guests and people of Chiang Mai, you may still remember my remarks when I came to lay the foundation stone of the Faculty of Medicine on June 16, last year that I vowed to see the establishment of Chiang Mai University for our young people in the north as soon as possible. Now the project has advanced to a certain degree according to my wish
