Founders ' Day We did not recognize the magnitude of our Founders Day speaker until he addressed the assembly. Unfor- tunately most of the student body lost a great opportunity to hear a great man. Dr. Howard Thurman, speaking at the 104th Convocation, spoke on the theme, A Faith For Living. He urged students to become more responsible for their deeds and their reactions to natural social forces. It is very difficult these days to have faith in one ' s self because there seems to be a con- spiracy in the modern world ... to make it more difficult for the in- dividual to have experiences in which he or she mav confirm her- self or himself. Dr. Thurman, a scholar and author, added, The ability to ad- mit one ' s action is the most authen- tic and profound way to express my faith in me. He noted that the individual still has the power of certification and veto in the face of impersonal social forces. A graduate of Morehouse College, Dr. Thurman stated that too many alibis have been given for not tak- ing responsibility for our actions. I may not be able to change anything, but I don ' t have to say yes as long as I affirm that I am a free spirit. I can wait and wait because life is on my side. The con- tradictions of life are never final. Dr. Thurman is the author of 22 books which include his most re- cent publications, The Search For Common Ground, A Track to the Water and The First Footprints. During the Founders ' Convocation, the library opened the Constance Hill Marteena Room which holds special collections. It houses the Afro-Women ' s Collection, the Norris Wright Cuney Collection, the Rare Books Collection and a special art collection. Featuring Howard Thurman Mrs. Blanche Raiford. former French professor at Bennett, chats with Dr. Howard Thurman. S.G.A. president Shawn Humphries watches proceedings. 28 MUSBBU
