Howard University - Bison Yearbook (Washington, DC)

Page 8 text:

 The purpose of any yearbook is 10 help, in some small way, to preserve the memories of one’s years in college. With this in mind, we have endeavored to make the ’63 Bison a true book of memories. We realize, of course, that it is impossible to capture the true atmosphere of Howard with mere pictures and words, for this is something intangible-something one must experience to understand and appreciate. Still, we would like to believe that within these pages, something, however small, of the atmosphere and memories that represent to all of us HOWARD— is captured and preserved. With our aim expressed, we invite you to join us on our journey along-the Long Walk.’’ THE EDITORS

DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF E. FRANKLIN FRAZIER 1894-1962 'That man is great, and he alone. Who serves a greatness not his own. For neither praise nor pelf: Content to know and be unknown: Whole in himself. Owen Meredith, A Great Man May 17. 1962, marked the passing of Dr. Edward Franklin Frazier, professor of sociology and former head of the Department of Sociology at Howard University, and signaled the end of a brilliant career as a teacher, scholar, and author of the highest order. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 24. 1894. F.. Franklin Frazier had an outstanding school career which began at Baltimore High School, continued through Howard and Clark Universities, and culminated at the University of Chicago where he obtained his doctorate degree in Sociology in 1931. Because of his unique insight into the nature of the great social problems confronting contemporary society and his expansive knowledge of the nature of race relations. Ins talents gamed for him immediate recognition. He was awarded fellowships by the American Scandanavian Foundation to Denmark, and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to study the Negro family in Brazil, and the West Indies. Dr. Frazier was a prodigious and indefatigable writer whose works included The Negro Family in the United States which won for him the Ainsfield Award, and the monumental Black Bourgeosie. for which not only did he gain the Maclver Lectureship but he also received worldwide acclaim. The tradition of Howard students enrolling in Sociology 198, and the presence there of a large number of visitors to this class was a strong indication of the impelling influence which Dr. Frazier exerted over his students. For it was his forthrightness and fearlessness in presenting his views on the Negro in America' w hich commanded the interest and respect of his listeners. In effect, he held up a mirror to society and thus provided it with all the means necessary for self-scrutiny and improvement. In his passing. Howard University has suffered the loss of one of its most distinguished alumni and teachers. The staff of the 1963 Bison is honored to dedicate this volume in memory of this great man. Michael Winston, president of the Liberal Arts Student Council, 1961-62. presents citation to Dr. Frazier at special program in his honor.
