Despite the anxieties experi- enced by the Senior Class, the activi- ties went smoothly. And beyond a single doubt, everyone had a ball! An Honors Banquet was held on Friday niglit to honor those persons who served twenty-years or more on the staff or faculty. Later, the action switched to the Hilton Ambassador Room where graduates socialized until the wee hours of the morning. On Saturday morning, the business sessions took place after 109 seniors were inducted into the National Alumnae Association. The highliglit of the first half of the day was the All Bennett Luncheon at which time graduates made their contributions to the Loyalty Fund. This year the alumnae gave a record amount of over $65,000. Saturday included the choir concert, the President ' s Reception, and finally, the Centennial Ball which was held in both ballrooms of the Hilton Inn. Seniors are inducted into the N.A.A. Mrs. Emma Smith, president of the Delaware Valley Chapter, was one of many who made outstanding contributions to the Loyalty Fund. After the luncheon, some groups posed for pictures, as did the Washington, D. C. Chapter. Alumnae of all class years were present. 42 atuxdau 1 f £.cd2tLon unci HduIl T 4 iP. it i latj 6, jg73 Indeed, the day was beautiful. For the first time in the history of the college, the commencement exercise was held on the campus quadrangle under the towering oaks which were planted as a part of David D. Jones ' campus plan. Excitement was in the air for the culminating of what had been an exciting weekend. Parents, friends, and alumnae were all anxious for this historical event to commence. In anticipation of such intense emotions, the Music Department had arranged for the Andrews Higli School Sympho- ny to play for an hour before the ceremonies started. Then the processional began. The long line marched from the gym through the Bearden Gate to the front 45 T 1 , of the chapel. Cameras chcked until the last senior had marched to her seat. Go forth in excellence and go forth in God, charged Dr. Miller to the 109 graduates who were about to receive their degrees. The commencement address was delivered by Miss Audrey Dickerson, Program Manager for Title III, for Strengthening of Developing Colleges - Division of College Support in the Bureau of Higher Education. The address had been written by Dr. Willa B. Player, former president of the college. ' lllllJIlll JliV ' s Jax wzlIto Ouz 2i £ an THE STATISTICS Birth: Aprils, 1904 Tappahannock, Va. Education: BA.

The experience I ' ve had in the Navy is invaluable so early in my career. It ' s the kind of experience that could otherwise take years. These are the feelings of LT Trevor Bryan, a 1971 law school graduate. I was interested in the Navy Judge Advocate General Corps because of the opportunity it offered. I joined the Navy following my second year in law school and used the Excess Leave Program to finish. It wasn ' t long after I received my commission that I was working in a courtroom . . . exactly where I wanted to be. Before practicing law in the Navy, LT Bryan was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar, and while draw- ing full pay and allowances of $838.68 per month, completed an intensive nine-week course in Military Justice at the Naval Justice School in Newport, Rhode Island. Right now, my income compares favorably with that of a civilian lawyer starting out in most areas of the country. Add to that all the Navy benefits! I know of no other place that offers so much to a new attorney, as the Navy JAG Corps. You get ex- perience in both civilian and military courts. It ' s a great opportunity! This same opportunity is open to you if you qual- ify. And there ' s no need to delay your career. You are eligible to apply as a college senior or in any year of law school. Whether your area of interest is Man- time Law, International Law, Civil Law or others, the Navy has a practice for you . . . around the world. If you think you ' ve got what it takes to become a NavyJudge Advocate General, call, toll free 24 hours day; 800-841-8000 (In Georgia call 800-342-5855) or write for information today, THE NAVY ' S NOT JUST SflYIN ' IT.

Hampton Editor lOO 3€ tn cfjnni 3€ nnLU£, ±cci, ' ■ _ o ' U locLcLim ibsixtu to tnz C af2tL(j£:± The old bronze bell that stands as the symbol of Bennett College bears the inscrip- tion, Bennett Seminary From Friends in Troy, N. Y. ' To proclaim liberty to the cap- tives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. ' Isaiah LXI. These words, however idealistic, expressed the sentiments of those who had struggled to overcome the burdens of cultural prejudices. As it was described by the late David Dallas Jones: What more striking inscription could be found? What more fitting in those days as applied to men and women of our day. In addition to the quotation found, was the inscription Donated by Friends of Troy, N. Y. Those friends were believers in education. They were hopeful, no doubt, that the words inscribed on that molded metal might be pro- phetic. And so it was and continues to be, one hundred years later. We must refer to the time that Bennett was founded. After the Civil War which had succeeded in destroying social institutions built on inhuman treatment of blacks in the South, Blacks were forced to rebuild new lives in a culture totally different from their own native lands. But they were determined to make it. Religious denomi- nations from the North were sympathetic to their plight. They quickly moved to organize educational facilities for those who wanted them. The Methodist Episcopal Church was among the most effective denominations in this field. The actual task of providing educa- tional opportunities was assigned to the church ' s Freedmen ' s Aid Society which was founded in 1886. It was later called the Freedmen ' s Aid and Southern Education Society. • y V 3€ Scene of St. Matthews Church In 1916. Early classes were held here. But the dream of an institution in Greens- boro, N. C. began in what may appear to be unrelated incidents. In December of 1865, a Quaker named Yardley Warner purchased thirty-four acres of land near South Buffalo Creek, Guilford County. After acquiring more land in 1866, he transferred the ownership to the Philadelphia Association of Friends who sold subdivided lots to newly freed slaves in the area at a very lost cost. In honor of Yardler Warner, the community became known as Warnersville. Soon after a representative of the Methodist Episcopal Church arrived to orga- nize a community church. Rev. Matthew Alston, a very active minister of the North Carolina Conference, founded Warnersville Methodist Episcopal Church (now known as St. Matthews United Methodist Church) in 1866. Knowing that the Church was interested in establishing a school in the Guil- ford area, the black minister took the lead in offering Greensboro as its site. On June 18, 1873, the Greensboro New North State, the local paper made the following announcement: The colored citizens of Greensboro, and as many of the whites who are interested, are requested to meet tomorrow (Wednesday) night, at the Warnersville Church to consider the question of the establishment in Greens- boro of a colored Normal School or College. This institution will be established under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church North, somewhere in the state. The object of the meeting is to advocate the claims of Greensboro ... And so on July 23, 1873, the paper announced: A Normal College for the education of colored teachers, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church North, will be established at Greensboro. It will be put in the course of construction this year. The school held its first classes in the • x X - : U .

Morgan were instrumental in acquiring funds to erect this structure through their appeals to the Black community for money. Lyman Bennett made possible the acquiring of the bronze bell which to this day has rung the start and ending of Bennett cam- pus activities. It is said that Bennett con- tracted pneumonia during his efforts to raise money for the 257 pound bell in Troy, N. Y. The bell was delivered to the campus in December of 1878. During the year 1878-1879, an unusually large number of students, 250, reported to the school for its three courses of study: English, elementary levels; Normal, teacher preparation; and Theological, studies pre- scribed in the Methodist discipline. It is interesting to note that teacher prepa- ration covered a wide range of subjects: physi- ology, philosophy, Latin, Algebra, history, physical geography, map-drawing, book- keeping, and the Science of Teaching . In this same year preparatory and college courses were being offered. The students displayed not only intellectual maturity, but there was marked improvement in their personal habits as was reported in an interesting Society report in 1879. It is a pleasant sight to watch the gradual change which comes over a student who comes to us fresh from his log cabin in the woods. His hair soon gets an extra touch, his linen and his clothes soon show and breathe a little more of the air of civihzation and often 3€ • x y a few months find him stepping ahead of his city cousins in daily tasics. But best of all is to see strong young men bow at the altar as penients and raising promise to go back to their companions at home and tell of Jesus. The Rev. Wilbur F. Steele became principal in 1881. During his eiglit years as principal, the institution continued to develop rapidly. Steele was the father of Wilbur Daniel Steele, the famous short-story writer, who was born on campus in May of 1886. He cited two examples of the determina- tion displayed by blacks who symbolized the Black man ' s struggle to overcome the ele- ments which sought to hold him back. He stated: ... a most energetic student making fair progress in five studies, is a mother with five children and six stepchildren, whose husband ' s wages are five dollars a week, and who apologized to the preceptress for a poor lesson as on the day before she washed eighty sheets for a hotel, besides her other duties. Again, a young minister, now here with his wife, walked 180 from the mountains to reach the school of his church, and now sus- tains himself by walking to and from the appointments of liis circuit, after receiving as the fruit of a big collection sung out of the people ' s pockets, not over seventy-five cents. The faculty of 1888-1889 appeared to be well qualified. Three had masters ' degrees: Rev. Steele, Greek and mathematics; Preceptress Clara Lunt, natural science and history; and Charles H. Moore, Latin and En- glish. Rosa B. Steele instructed the music pro- gram and Silas A. Peeler, the other English classes. Two significant events occurred during Hl CTj oLL cjs: £ 2£tc7£d tfd ( ha tsLZ Steele ' s administration. First there was the estabhshment of Kent Model Home to teach girls and young ladies how to make a perfect Christian home. In 1884, the Woman ' s Home Missionary Society decided that such a home should be established on Bennett ' s cam- pus. By 1886 the building was completed and one year later it was dedicated in honor of the husband of Mrs. Anna Kent. It was fortunate that Bennett was the only non-college with whom the WHMS affiliated with. In fact Bennett sponsored such a program dedicated to teaching normal and industrial courses to Black girls six years before the state opened a similar school for white girls which is now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The second significant event was the chartering of Bennett Seminary into a college by the state. The school became Bennett Col- lege on March 11, 1889. Among the sixteen trustees were Rev. Steele, Prof. Charles Moore, and Rev. C. N. Grandison. The appointment of Dr. Charles N. Grandison as president of Bennett College in 1889 was a significant event for Bennett, as well as for Blacks. He was the college ' s first black president and the first of his race to be president of a Freedmen ' s Aid and Southern Education Society school. It also meant the president of Bennett ' s campus had acquired more prestige and more responsibility. Up to this time one building housed the library, a chapel, and dining room while serving as a dormitory and classroom building. A new dormitory was begun under Grandison. During this time, James Corrothers, the instructor of physical culture, introduced the athletic program to the college. It was one of the few black schools in the south with such activity. The Baseball team was very popular in the black community. The team played those of the few colleges who were lucky enough to have teams like Hampton Institute. The next president was Dr. Jordan D. Chavis who served from 1892 to 1905. He had been a 1885 graduate of the school. ' ' i ( - ' ■ ' •mE TS % ' ' ir rr ItiU Bennett had one of first black organized collegiate athletic programs. Although Cluivis and Gr;im.lison agreed on the necessity for intellectual and industrial development for blacks, Chavis considered the ability to think, not the ability to grow economically through skills, as the key to the advancement for Blacks. To this end he stressed the need for higher education: The power to think will rule forever . Grandison firmly believed in the need for industrial training as the answer to Black development as he stated: With his own skilled hand, guided by a richly furnished and thoroughly disciplined brain, the Black man of the South must carve out his material fortune, and thus take his place alongside of the civilized people of earth, in industry, thrift, economy, and wealth, and the much mooted Negro problem will have found its only abiding, true solution. The Rev. Silas Peeler had been an Englisn instructor at the college before assuming the presidency in 1905. His philosophy was a combination of Grandison ' s and Peeler ' s. He believed that education taught the student to think for himself, after which he would be able to work out what he has thought out. However, he placed more importance on Christian ethics. Peeler added a course in Agriculture to the curriculum which accounts for the comment by many that the center campus was a farm. He directed this model effort himself. The students at Bennett followed a strict schedule. An example of one which was activated in 1912 was: BaBy- 5:30 a.m. Rise ■ 7:15 a.m. Brcal(fa.sl 8:00-8:30 a.m. Study Hours 8:30-9:00 a.m. Chapel exercise 12:00 noon Dinner JH 5:00-6:15 D.m.

After 1912, the boarding girls were re- quired to wear a school uniform to classes, public events, and social activities. During this time the major co-curricular activities were the YMCA, YWCA, The Samuel Crowther Friends of Africa, and two literary societies, the Cornelian Ring, and the Bennett Literary Society. Dr. Peeler displayed aggressive leadership and was described as being quite outspoken which may account for the fact that the Freedmen ' s Aid and Southern Education Society at Cincinatti saw some reason for relieving him of his office. He was succeeded by Prof. James E. Wallace. During his administration several signifi- cant developments occurred. A home for the president was erected during the year 1914-1915 and an industrial building was completed in 1916. By this time the first four dlementary grades were eliminated. During the early 1960 ' s students throughout the country were bellowing for the addition of Black Studies for the college curriculums. Bennett had long recognized the need for such classes. A 1915 catalogue announced a course entitled The American Negro . This sociology course required col- lege juniors to undertake organized efforts for improving the conditions of living and the social conditions of the American Negro . President Wallace left the College and the administration was briefly in the hands of Prof. W. B. Windsor. However, in the fall of 1917, Dr. Frank Trigg became president. Unknowingly, he stood at the end of an era in Bennett ' s development. Born a slave in the Virginia Governor ' s mansion, he had toiled hard after the Civil War by driving a scavenger wagon to earn money for a college education which he finally received from Hampton Insti- tute.

Wilbur Steele Hall was also completed that year. It served as the recfectory and was built on the old site of Carolina HaU. So, by 1922, the campus consisted of eight building. In 1919, a new grade building of four rooms was completed. But as fate will have it. another building, Carolina Hall, was destroyed by fire which left the boys without lodging and the school without needed classroom space. Again some classes were held at St. Matthews Episcopal Church which was more than a mile from campus. Until suitable accommodations were made, after 1921 boys and girls lived under coeduca- tional arrangements for a year. A new girl ' s dormitory was completed in . pril of 1922. That dormitory. Robert E. Jones Hall, was built at a cost of 580,000 to accommodate In 1925, a new classroom building was erected. Known as the Academic Building then, the three-story structure contained nine large rooms of which three served as scientific laboratories. Today that building is called Jolm H. Race Administration Building. Carnegie Library was built on the comer of East Washington and Macon Streets during the 1923-1924 school year. The facihty did not belong to the college. It was funded by the Carnegie Foundation and maintained by the city as a public hbrary for Blacks. Today, the facility is owned by the college and serves as an office building. . k iK A lfe :i?

Sixty young women graduated from this separate curriculum with Elementary A or B certifi- cates from the State Department of Public Instruction before 1925. A new dimension of student activities be- gan in 1924 with the organization of the Crown and Scepter Club which souglit to recognize and encourage excellence in scholar- ship, character, and service. In 1926, Bennett College underwent a major reorganization. The background for this change was based on an extensive study done by the Board of Education and the Women ' s Home Missionary Society. A survey taken by the Phelps-Stokes Foundation in 1916 recom- mended that Bennett College be turned into a college for women. It was decided after much deliberation on the part of the WHMS that an institution was needed for the higher education of Black women. Lynchburg, Va. had been selected as a possible site and the name Carrie Barge Seminary had been given. However during the January meeting of 1926, they were approached by the Board of Education of the Methodist Church wliich was considering the estabhshment of a women ' s college in Greens- boro, N. C. The WHMS was invited to join in this endeavor. Dean Thomas Holgate A joint committee was appointed to study the matter. They concluded that a college for women should be established in the city under the joint auspices of both groups, al- though it would be supervised by a Board of Trustees, eight named from the Board of Edu- cation, and eight from the WHMS, and five at-large. Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkfield was named as chairman of the newly appointed Board of Trustees with Bishop R. E. Jones as vice-chairman; Dean Thomas Holgate, of Northwestern University as chairman of the Committee on Faculty and Courses of Study. In June of 1926, the Board of Trustees met in Greensboro to organize and survey the campus. The campus was composed of over thirty acres and had nine buildings. Jones Hall and the refectory were in good condition. President David D. Jones The old administration building and the boy ' s dormitory were in bad shape and unsuitable for a women ' s college. This struc- ture was torn down with the exception of the chapel wing. It became known as Carrie Barge Chapel. The next step was the naming of a president. David Dallas Jones assumed this office in September of 1926. Bishop W. P. Thirkfield made the following comment about his appointment: He is a Wesleyan man with large executive and educational experience in the Young Men ' s Christian Association; and with his broad contacts through the Interracial Com- mission, together with liis strength of charac- ter and adaptation - he will bring success to the college from the start. During the first year the course of study President Jones and Mrs. Annie M. Pfeiffer was planned to meet the requirements of a standard junior college, covering four years of high school and two of college work. There were seventh and eighth grade instruction under state supervision. As the preparation and demands of the students warranted and funds were made available, the last two years of college training were added. David Dallas Jones was formally inaugu- rated on May 25. 1927. It was the start of a new Bennett College. When he came to the campus in 1926 the campus had ten students, four buildings, and about 35 acres of ' campus ' planted in corn and turnips. However, with fareful planning and great leadership, David Dallas Jones built the campus into one of the most attractive 40 acre institutions in the country with 30 buildings and a physical plant that was worth 2.5 million dollars twenty five years later. During the course of his inaugural address, Dr. Jones stated very clearly his position on the development of Bennett. Bennett College for Women does not as- pire to be a college of numbers. In this first year of our operations, we have definitely limited our numbers and have taken only such an enrollment as would allow us to know personally our students, and in measure give individual guidance. Our policies for the next years are so formulated that our increase in size will be very gradual. We are more anxious about the quahty of our students and the help that we can give individuals than we are about mass production. From the very start. Dr. Jones sought to get prominent individuals to the campus. He succeeded in attracting the attention of the leading educational foundations which in- cluded the Rosenwald Fund and the Pfeiffer Foundation. Over the years the Pfeiffers alone contributed over a million dollars to the development of the college. They made possi- JlJ nnM lzadition± y [ak£: Di LLniaus. May Day Activities (1935) ble the erection of Pfeiffer Residence Hall, Merner Residence Hall, Pfeiffer Memorial Chapel, the Heating Plant, the David D. Jones Student Union, Black Hall, and the Little Theatre. One of the earliest special events initiated as a traditional activity was the Homemaking Institute which emphasized the importance of good home living. The first was held in April of 1927. Since that date, each institute has carried out in one way or another various subjects on the arts and science of home- making. Each year prominent personalities were invited to lead seminars or to address the student body. Under the direction of Dr. Jones, the col- lege accumulated a stock of traditions which gave the school a unique atmosphere. Some of them, like the ringing of the bell, are holdovers from the days when the school was coeduca- tional. The bell traditionally sets the time for classes and meals. During the Jones ' years, the girls had to be in their seats when the bell stopped ringing. It was an honor to be ap- All-Bennett Luncheon (1972) pointed bell-ringer. Among the other traditions were those which involved dress. Whenever a Bennett girl went downtown she dressed and with ' hats and gloves. ' Slacks or shorts were only worn on hikes or recreational activities, to work and breakfast. This was true of the campus until the middle 1960 ' s when students went througli a period of protest. Certainly one of the most beautiful events was the Campus Illumination Ceremony which symbolized the moving up of each class: freshmen burn green bows, sophomores accept junior status, and seniors pass caps and gowns to juniors. President Jones set the tone for the two presidents which followed him. Unlike most universities and colleges, the president of Ben- nett College has been very much in touch with his students. Dr. Jones made a practice of knowing all his students. It was no surprise to be called out of the crowd by him as he casually strolled along the campus or to see him sitting on the steps of the chapel cliutting informally with several students. Many stu- dents remember being called in to his office for reprimanding, often on the verge of being sent home. However, due to such experience most went on to succeed in their chosen fields. The ' Bennett Family ' was closely-knitted due to an enrollment that was kept purpose- fully small. Small classes. Dr. Jones believed, enabled the student to obtain individual as- sistance and informal instruction. Under the theory that each girl should feel herself a part of the school. Dr. Jones re- quired all students to perform a certain a- mount of the work. The girls were responsible for the upkeep of their own rooms, cleaned President David D. Jones, a great educator. Dr. and Mrs. Jones took a personal interest in the students. and dusted the dormitory lounges, and took turns waiting the tables in the dining hall. Beauty Work was received with mixed emo- tions. Some parents resented that their daugh- ter ' did the work of maids. ' However, as one graduate recalls, It did make us more respon- sible in what we did in the residence hall. Students were, perhaps, more aware of the importance of being tidy when they were responsible for the housekeeping. We shined the brass work in the parlors. Most graduates of the Jones ' era, fondly remember Ma Mac , Mrs. Mamie McLaurin, who was director of the residence halls. She would check the rooms quite often, especially for dust under the bed. If she found an untidy room, you really were embar- rassed. After an investigation by the Board of Trustees, one faculty member was dismissed because her iuisband had been convicted in 1953 of violating the Smith Act. Even though the faculty person had been a marcher, CORE and the NAACP denied that the couple had any leadersliip role. A former instructor of the college, Mr. John F. Hatchett, stated, The Jerome Inci- dent was good because it solidified efforts of the students to integrate. It was because of regional prejudices that students were indoctrinated with the firm belief that a Bennett woman is something special. Dr. Jones instituted a strict dress code in 1931 and included it in the Bennett B ' s. Be neat. Neatness is the basis of all beauty. Being neat suggests cleanliness, sin plicity, order, and refinement in every phase of everyday life. The Home Economics Department provid- ed a Clothing Clinic in order to advise students on appropriate attire; repainnent of garments; and the construction of new gar- ments. Many prominent guests visited the college from the very start: Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, Tliurgood Marshall, Roy Wilkins, Constance Baker Motley, Dr. John Hope Franklin, Dr. Martin Luther King, Rep. Juhan Bond, Whitney Young, Richard Harrison. Rep. Shirley Chisholm, Vernon Jordon, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Rep. Charles Diggs, and many others. The predessors of Dr. Jones shared his be- lief in the emphasizing of extra-curricular ac- tivities: It seems especially important to us here at the college that the religious and cultural life, so intimately tied up with the morale lJ xominEnt j should be carried forward with renewed cre- ativeness. Tliroughout the development of Bennett College for Women, many techniques have been used to promote sohdarity and unity. Dr. Jones knew each student by her first name. As he walked the campus he would often stop them to chat. Prexy would sit down on the top step of the chapel altar. Then he would slowly tell us that someone had marred the reputation of the college. Everyone would feel so guilty, especially the culprit, as Dr. Jones pulled out his handkerchief to dry the tears from his eyes, one graduate recalls. Dr. Isaac H. Miller has continued to take personal concern for the welfare of Bennett students. Many nights has he gone to the dormitories to solve problems or to rush someone to a doctor. His home has been the- scene of many confrontations of anxious par- ents trying to locate a daugliter who forgot to sign out. Dr. Willa B. Player is the only woman to have served as president of Bennett College. She assumed that office in 1955 when Dr. Jones became seriously ill. She had served in several capacities before, including the Director of Admissions. Some of the higlihghts of her presidency were the gaining of full membership in the Southern Association as the only private, black college in 1957; the initiation of the Saturday School for latent high school stu- dents; the start of the National Science Foundation for talented high school students during the summers; and the establislmient of numerous academic committees to improve the academic program. Dr. Player was formally installed on October 14, 1956 by Bishop Edgar A. Love. Dr. Player returned for the 1969 commencement. J n.E Eaicfi lyoT ctt -:J oj J z±ids,nt By the end of her term of office the value of the campus had increased with the erection of Laura Cone Hall, the Ida Haslup Goode Health and Physical Education Building, and the beginning of a new science building. Dr. Player resigned on March 1, 1966 to become Director of the Division of College Support in the U. S. Office of Education of H. E. W. The finding of a new president was by no means an easy job for the Board of Trustees. Tlie youth of America, especially of Black America, were cauglit up in a revolution. Hair styles, dress, and actions symbolized their re- bellion against the Establishment and the status quo . The youth became more vocal. Tliey de- manded more voice in the homes, the com- munity, and especially in the schools. Colleges became the centers of violence and protest. Tlie Trustees sought a person who under- stood the changing times and who also realiz- ed the value of the Bennett Experience. A selection was made. Students questioned traditions Protest was seen in dress. Hairstyles symbolized change. y ' ' ' Militant attitudes were prominent T Dr. F. D. Patterson, Board led the search. ex-Chairman of the Trustee Dr. Isaac H. Miller, Jr. was their choice. His selection marked the first time in the history of the college that faculty members had been involved in the establishing of criteria and in the selection of a new president. Dr. Miller was associate professor of bio- chemistry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee. However, he was no stranger to this area of North Carolina or to Bennett College. His father had served as the Academic Dean of Bennett from 1923-1926. His childhood was spent on several college campuses and he had attended Livingstone College. After World War H, he continued his Dean Chauncey G. Winston served as acting-president. education at the University of Wisconsin and received his doctoral degree in biochemistry in 1951. During this time, he also tauglit at A. T. State University. Under the capable leadership of President Miller, new programs have been established and plans have begun for the expansion of Bennett College. Cooperative Education, the Bio-Medical Research Program, the Interdis- cliplinary Studies Program, and other cur- riculum changes have occurred to prepare stu- dents for the everchanging society. For the first time in its history Bennett has an active alumnae association. d Dr. Miller often walks along the campus and chats with students. Dr. Isaac H. Miller, Jr. was inaugurated on October 12, 1068 as tiie tcntii president of Bennett College. Alter receiving his investi- ture of office from Dr. F. D. Patterson, chair- man of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Miller told the assembly that Bennett College stands as an eloquent testimony to the wisdom of lier founders. and pledged tiiat Linder iiis admin- istration Bennett would continue to go forth in excellence. Tlie inauguration culminated a week of outstanding events such as a concert by pianist Raymond Jackson; a concert by the college choir; performances by graduates of the college; the dedication of the new science building; and a two-part symposium. Part One of the symposium was entitled The College Woman in Today ' s World. Par- ticipants included the Honorable Constance Baker Motley, Judge of the U.S. District Court, Southern District, New York City; Dr. Jane C. Wright, A.ssociate Dean and Professor of Surgery, New York Medical College; Mrs. Joan F. Bishop, Director of Placement, Wel- lesley College; and Mrs. L Maynard Catch- ings. Assistant General Secretary, World Divi- sion, Board of Missions. Tlic second session was entitled Tlie Negro Woman Faces Special Challenges. Par- ticipants included Dr. Kenneth Clark, president of Metropolitan Center for Child Development; Mrs. Charlotte M. Hubbard, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Cul- tural Affairs; Vernon E. Jordan, lawyer and Director of Voter Education Project, Southern Regional Council; and Dr. Dorothy Brown, member of the Tennessee State Legislature and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery, Meharry Medical College. Judge Baker chats with Angeline Johnson ' 69 Development of strong alumnae program The observance of Bennett College ' s 100th anniversary serves not only as an opportunity to recognize Bennett ' s contributions to intel- lectual and cultural development, but to project its programs for a second century of service. Students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and Re-emphazing of cultural contributions administration have pledged themselves to the support of Bennett College. They are engaged in shaping a consortium of experiences which will better prepare the Bennett woman for today ' s societal needs. 1973 is a very significant year in the devel- opment of the College. It marks the start of Bennett College ' s second century of service. New programs and the existing ones are being evaluated as the plight of the private, black institutions is being debated. Because Bennett is black and a women ' s college, its future existence is dependent upon its alumni, the church, and private foundations. Bennett College has been many things to many people. For most of its students, it has been an opportunity to develop a wholesome life. For the faculty it has been a testing ground to place new theories into practice. For the black community it has served as cultural center and referral service. For Greensboro and the nation, it has been a symbol of dedication to the betterment of the society. The second century shall see a more determined Bennett College — a true chal- lenge for tomorrow. Plans for the expansion of the College are being finalized. Projections point toward (1) a health center, (2) an expanded Media Center, and (3) a service center. These are only several of the planned projects. Over the next ten years more plans will be in the making and the campus will bun with the sound of progress.
