With him is his wife Ber- mce H.. an alumni, We swing our telescope outward to see the University on its wider horizon. And in the sweep we view some personal distinctive accomplish- ments with faculty and alumni. In all of these we find inspiration. We view two professors of English as readers of English Examination Test on College Board assignments, one of whom was appointed to State Natiqnal Achievement award chairmanship. We view further several distinguish- ed alumni-a head of a multiwmillion dollar firm, who returned for Founder's Day; a civil rights attorney who went to the: Alabama State House as one of first two Blacks since Reconstruction and the first to win his seat on the regular Democratic ticket; a Ph.D. in Mathematics, 3 first from old Alabama State, who rcturned to alma mater as guest lecturer; a Ph.D. in Chemistry, at first from alumni in decade of the late sixties, who returned for Spring Ca- reer Conference. Each with academic degrees represent first Ph.D.'s for two Alabama predominately white univer- sities. and a secondary school principal who became the first Black head of Alabama Education Association. Before the pulling in of Our telek scope, as the tight wanes with the setting of the sun in late Spring 1971. we feel the vibrations of a spirit reflecting an underlying faith that Alabama State can make its bad things better. and its good things great. To that end we as her students. alumni, administration, faculty and staff in l970-7l never stopped trying.
