i ii “4“p KDHNSQNG UNIVERSITY SMITH To the Class ot 1989: A very wise nan once wrote that the goals of a university are threefold: first, to expand the horizons of its students; second, to sharpen their intellectual skills; and, third, to deepen their understandings about the world of which they are a part. During the post several years, the faculty and stall of Johnson C. Smith University has attempted to meet these goals for you and we trust that you leave the university a far more learned, compassionate and prepared person than when you entered. Your class has been privileged to have been able to prepare yourselves for the leadership demands of the 21st Century. You are a part of a world that grows smaller daily - and in which men are finally beginning to understand the interrelationships between nations and people. Although our civilization has made much progress toward the twin goals o: equality and opportunity :n recent years, there is still much to be done. Thun, we hope that we have prepared you well to load our society forward; to droan bold dreams; and to commit yourselves to assisting those less fortunate than you. Ar. you leave Alma Mater, please know that you have our every best wish for success. I also hope that you will always remeber that as one of our best and brightest, you are one of the select persons described by the late black scholar. Dr. W.E.B. DuBois as the talented tenth. This implies that because of your special opportunities, you also have special responsibilities. Use your talents well and wisely for the betterment of mankind and you will receive rewards and satisfactions beyond your wildest dreams. Finally, as you pursue your dreams and experience the success you so richly deserve, please be mindful of the words of the remarkable young talent, Bobby McFernn, who urges us to be happy. With deep thanks and appreciation for the opportunity to have been a part of your lives, I am Very sincerely yours, medtt QMmMt Robert L. Albright President 3
