PRESIDENT JAMES WARD SEABROOK A.B., Ped.D., Johnson C. Smith University; A.M., Columbia University; further study: Columbia University, University of Chicago, New York University. President James Ward Seabrook has rendered his services at Fayetteville State Teachers College for 28 years. He first acted in the capacity of Dean of Students and later succeeded the late Dr. E. E. Smith to the presidency of the institution. During his reign as president he has tried to inculcate in the minds of faculty and students alike, the virtues of courage, honesty, and love of fellowmen. Due to the democratic ideas of President Seabrook, the first student council was inaugurated at the institution in 1950. It is the profound opinion of the Class of ' 50 that any institution or organization can only prosper under the guidance of James Ward Seabrook. Herbert K. Spruill A MESSAGE TO OUR GRADUATES I salute the editors of the 1950 Yearbook and congratulate them upon the energy and initiative manifested in its compilation. May the future years mirror personal achievement and public service on the part of those whose photographs appear here. May fond memories return as the alumni and alumnae turn these pages in future years.
