In the history of any college, there are always those whose influence and contribution have out- distanced mere responsibility and whose memory will remain indelibly stamped on the mind and conscience of all who come in contact with them. At Johnson C. Smith University such a person is Dr. Winson R. Coleman. Dr. Coleman may be seen between classes with briefcase in hand and head bowed, as he saunters across the campus. He appears solely as a man of culture — precise, detached, impersonal ; a scholar and an academician. In class one will always find him reading- a magazine if the class has not begun. At the proper time he stops, takes out a rolebook from his briefcase and thus becomes the Socratic Demon. He requires a student to do his best — and better. His detachment is actually the tendency to withhold commendation until de- served. He applies this constant demand for improvement to himself, a factor which perhaps above all wins him the respect and admiration of everyone associated with him. Thus with sincere gratitude for what he means to us, the Senior Class of Johnson C. Smith University dedicates the 1962 edition of the Bull to Dr. Coleman.
