HOMECOMING PARADE 14 Miss Livingstone College (Denise Hlackwell) Escorted by President of Student Government Association ( Vergel L. Lattimore, III) Historical And Descriptive Livingstone College is located in Salisbury, the county seat of Rowan County, North Carolina. This institution is regularly chartered by the Slate of North Carolina. Incorporated in 1879, its first sessions were held in 1880 in one room of the parsonage of the late Bishop C.R. Harris, who was then a minister in Con- cord, North Carolina. The idea of instituting an educa- tional enterprise for the training of Negro youth was the result of a conference of Negro ministers who wished to promote a type of education which would make for self-reliance in their race. They believed that Negroes as a race should do something on their own initiative to supplement the generous benevolences of white friends, and they were confident that such an en- terprise could be made to succeed with the coopera- tion of loyal and Christian Negroes guided by uns- werving faith in themselves and in their God. Organization was more definitely completed two years later and the institution moved to Salisbury, where work began the first Wednesday in October, 1882. The new site consisted of one building and 40 acres of land. The school opened with three teachers, three pupils, and a matron. It was named in honor of David Livingstone, the great Christian missionary, philanthropist, and explorer. Such was the beginning of Livingstone College. Chartered as a college in 1885, the institution has grown until now its students come from many States in the Lnited States, and from Canada, Central America, the West Indies, South America, and Africa. Its physical plant has been increased to twenty-one large brick buildings and 272 acres of land with a total valuation in excess of $4,000,000. The college is largely supported by the A.M.E. Zion Church, but its academic operations are entirely non- sectarian. To a greater degree possible than any other institution in the South, it represents the idea of Negro self-help in education.

O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! Thy dear old name we sing, While memories cluster thick and fast, And closer to us cling. Beneath they maples and ihy oaks The zephyred breezes blow, Jusl as they will in years to come, No matter where we go. O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! When thou art old with age, Thou, too, shah hold a noble place Thai ' s bright on mem ' ry ' s page, And in the sky no cloud shall be — Instead, they sun shall beam, Prosperity shall live always Amid its golden gleam. 0! Livingstone, My Livingstone! Thy students come and go, The moments fly, the years go by With all their weal and woe. Along with fleet and nimble feet Oh, hasten on they way, And fling the light of wisdom out Across the Wand ' rer ' s way O! Livingstone, My Livingstone! Upon they campus wide, In numbers many students roam — Some from the other side; And still they love; we can but hope That they may e ' er be true To both they names and colors too — The modest black and blue. my Fonvielle- Richardson

As we think of the past, we are reminded of moments of happiness, success, and victories in- terspersed with sadness, and failures which will spear us to make the future surpass the achievements which have been made. The staff of the Livingstonian is Moving Along in the Right Direction. Time changes many things and later the meaning changes along with time. The staff has tried to cap- ture some of the moments that have been instrumental in building the memories of the past year at Livingstone. To each of you these memories will have a different meaning, but basically the meaning will be one that will live forever in the hearts of true Livingstonians. Here is your Livingstonian. May it bring you as much happiness and inspiration as it has brought those who have worked so industriously to present it to you. The Livingstonian Staff
