Four years in pursuit of a Bachelorhs degree is not a long time. At the end of the four years we find that there were all sorts of things we wanted to do with them that we never quite got around to. There are all sorts of mis- takes we made with them and put in the drawer to correct, that we never quite got around to correcting. Iths no use getting upset, though wehve searched the place up and down and sideways, and there isnht a shred of those whole four years to be found. Appar- ently they leaked away somehow. For the class of 1970 there is a brand-new fresh-from-the-factory life, still hlled with unexplored possibilities for good and bad, stiII unopened, still unused. 1.53. 3. . . 3.3 ...

Harry T. Burleigh, an excellent composer and a singer, who had appeared before crowned heads in Europe, was able to achieve fame for his arrangements of Negro spirituals but not for his fine original compositions. His rich hari- tone voice was heard only on Sundays at the downtown New York churches at which he appeared as soloist. He was forced into editing music while his own abundant output was ignored. Will Marion Cook, a pupil of the German violinist Joseph Joachim, abandoned all hope of a career as concert violin. ist and turned to another of his talents, writing bright and interesting musical shows that toured the backwaters and never found a. home in metropolitan centers of entertainment. A later generation of Negro musicians, thtough similar circumstances, had their careers redirected into teaching at southern Negro colleges. It was a twist of fate that changed the entire cultural life of the Negro race in the United States. Of this group of young musicians, the one destined to remain for the longest period in the South and to exert the strongest and most penetrating influence throughout the nation, was Kemper Harreld. Kemper Harreld was born and educated through high school years in Muncie, Indiana. His musical tutors there were respected and welltrained musicians who invested in the gifted boy the amount of time and loving attention needed to give him the proper launching. A type of versatility that would be extremely important to him during later years was fostered by these early teach- ers-Vida Cassidy, a young violin teacher just out of conservatory training, and Birt Summers, an able English musician who taught the boy to play the organ and piano, trained him as his apprentice in organ tuning and repairing, and who furnished him with an excellent background in theoretical subjects. Later he studied at Stern Conservatory of Music in Berlin, Germany. An old German hand musician living near the Harreld home taught him to play the flute. Far-seeing parents sent him to Chicago where he enrolled at Chicago Music College. Chicago was at the time a flourishing musical capital that attracted numerous young people because of its good opportunities for instruction and for general enrichment. The young musician seized upon every opportunity for development. He was an avid coneerbgoer and increased his musiaal knowledge in numerous self-enriching ways. He became a member of thhe music eolllege's orchestra and ap- peared as performer and conductor with choral and instrumental groups in the city. But substantial permanent posts and apprenticeships or teaching positions were unattainable for the Negro aspirant. He decided to join musical friends in New York who were hoping to carve a niche in the entertainment iield. Again, there was challenge but limited opportunity. A telegram from his mother sent to him early in October 1911, urged him to get in touch with John Hope, presi- dent of Morehouse College, in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Hope oEered him the position of director of music at the cola lege. He accepted with the mental reservation that he would remain only until the end of the term. Teaching young men to perform music and to love and appreciate it became an exciting and wonderful career. The city of Atlanta recognized his exceptional ability and welcomed him with open arms. He was given freedom by the college to continue his activities as a concert violinist. Through these tours and those made with his various college music organizations, he was able to introduce line pro- grams to many audiences and communities. Back in Atlanta, he became involved in a multitude of assignments: studio teaching, a community orchestra, inter- collegiate concerts, choral conducting, and the organization of a Fine Arts Study Club. Of vital import was the en- couragement of other concert artists for whom be arranged tours and to whom he offered hope and appreciation. These were the agencies for a type of musical evangelism that has had far-reaching and significant effects. In 1927 he joined the faculty of Spelman College and was the joint head of the Morehouse and Spelman music departments. In 1929 he became a solid link that welded together musical forces at the newly-created Atlanta Uni- versity center as the person in charge of all musical activities. In this capacity he helped to strengthen the concept of the enlarged and self-nourishing academic community. The thousands of young people trained or influenced by Kemper Harreld during a period almost sixty years long, have settled in all parts oF the United States and many have travelled much beyond it. From their various positions, they are in turn contributing to a functioning and vital national culture. Kemper Harreld left the Atlanta schools in 1958 and moved to Detroit. He has continued to teach and to influence young people, helping them to further plans, to implement programs, and to give meaningful expression to their abilities. He belongs to the group of rare oetogenarians who are vigorous in advanced years, who accept life as being con- tinuously zestful, rich, and fruitful, and who are inHagging in the pewer to view the time ahead as hopeful. - Josephine Harreld Love Sadie Gray Mays 1900-1969 VI- Mrs. Sadie Gray Mays, served for 27 years i1940-1967i as First Lady of the College and was well known as a social worker and a teacher. She studied at Paine College in Augusta, Georgia, and received her bacheloris and masteris degrees from the University of Chicago. Her career as a social worker began in St. Louis, Missouri; she later worked with the Urban League in Tampa, Florida, with the Georgia Study of Negro Child Welfare, with The Juvenile Protective Association in Washington, D.C., and was Director of the National Youth Administration for the District of Columbia. She taught at South Carolina State College and the Atlanta University School of Social Work. After her husband became President of Morehouse College, she did some part-time teaching, but the greater part of the time left from her duties as official hostess of the college she gave to church and community activities. She was largely responsible for the establishment and success of Happy Haven Horne and served as Chairman of the Home's Board of Directors until her death. The Morehouse Man from 1940-1967 sees Morehouse through the eyes of Sadie Cray Mays. She had molded the character of these men. For 27 years she took the typical poor boy from the backwoods of Georgia with red clay be- tween his toes and cotton buds in his hair and transformed him into a gentleman's gentleman, a Morehouse Mann; a leader, ambitious and broadminded among his fellow men. Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep nor shall your tears run down. Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourn- ing for the dead. Bind on your turban and put your shoes on your giving feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of mourners. Ezekiel 24:16-17 28 memoriam Walter R. Chivers, uPop Chiversh as he is remembered by his students, was a retired Professor and Chairman of the Department of Sociology at Morehouse College. Professor Chivers graduated from Morehouse College in 1919, and was One of Only three men to graduate from the institution that year. He earned the Master of Arts degree from the New York School of Social Work and did further work at the Universities of Chicago, Wisconsin, and New York. In 1967 he was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature by Arkansas A.8:M. College. His teaching career spanned half a century, beginning at Morehouse in the early 192015 and continuing until his re- tirement in 1968. During his professional career he also served on the faculties of Atlanta University, Dillard University, Alabama State College and South Carolina State College. He was associated professionally with most of the great American sociologists. Among them must be included many of his own students who now distinguish themselves as chairman of departments of sociology in leading American and international universities, as consultants to governments, as research scholars, as teachers, and as college presidents. In 1947 Dr. Chivers established the Morehouse College Annual Institute on Marriage and the Family. He was a pio- neer in the area of family planning, and long before such thinking had received wide acceptance, he was including semi- mars and discussion groups on family planning as standard components of his Classes, institutes, and workshops. Besides being in constant demand as a speaker and consultant, he was a frequent contributor to scholarly journals in the Held of sociology, education, and family life, and served for a time as a regular columnist for the Negro Press? Pop Chivers will long be remembered as one of the fathers of the Morehouse Man.

Hugh Morris C105 ter, President president gloster: an open letter to the class of 1970 Fellow Morehouse Men: I am pleased to have the opportunity to congratulate you upon your successful completion of your undergraduate work at Morehouse College and to extend best wishes for your future life and work. After you leave Morehouse this June, I hope that you will contribute to the character and charisma that make More- house College and Morehouse men so unique and so distinctive in our society. It is the peculiar quality of Morehouse to produce men who succeed in college and in life, men who are loyal to each other and to Alma Mater, men who have self-confidence and self-respect, men who cherish the humanities as well as the natural sciences and the social sciences, men who apply Christian and democratic concepts in the solution of personal and social problems. If you will develop your life within this great tradition, you will help Morehouse to serve in the futurwas in the present and in the past- as a world-famous training-ground for the development of wise, able, honorable, and courageous leaders who are so dmperatelly needed in this confused and confusing world. According to a recent study of American college men, the four leading problems of the contemporary world in order of hnportanee are race and class division, crime and lawlessness, poverty and slum conditions, and conflicts and wars. I sincerely trust that each member of the 1970 graduating class will contribute in some way to the solution of these prob- lems. Best wishes for success in your personal life and in your social contributions as you establish your Own foundations and embark upon the stormy seas of the future, and may the record which you establish bring you, your parents, and you: Alma Mater, much credit. 35 Above Left: Dr. H.

The theme of this yeafs edition of the Torch is: Enlightenment thru Involvement. Depending on haw you gaze through the educational spectrum at Morehouse in the time that yen have been here, you have either been indoctrinated or edu- cated, perhaps both. However, only you can interpret your experience at Morehouse. There are many things a man can be. But there is no greater sin than to put on indiEerence, embrace apathy, and allow his once active self to fondle the instruments of uselessness as he sits in the chair of apathy. It is just this spirit of apathy, uselessness and indifference that many Morehouse Men select as their cloak while here at this noble shrine of academe. Those who sow the seeds of indifference will reap the fruits of despair. With such a perception I find myself more than disturbed. Like President Emeritus Benjamin E. Mays, I am disturbed about Mani But more significantly, I am dis- turbed about the hMorehouse Man'i I am disturbed about what he is, and is becoming. The cogs of our once beautiful machinery long for the active oils of yesterday. Perhaps the best prescription for the salvaging of the reputation of Morehouse Men is the resurrection of the active Morehouse Man and the renaissance of the concerned and involved hMorehouse Man . We are so engulfed by our personal aspirations that we have become buzzards that feed upon the aspirations of our brothers. Parallelly, we are caught up in many contemporary and pseudo-relevant movements that do not necessarily project the ideals of Morehouse and tend to do more harm than good to the advancement of the traditions of More- house. Each ttMorehouse Mant' represents a separate entity that is unable to see another mMorehouse Man in need of a helping hand. We are bogged down in the mud and mire of hseleh-sluggishness . Instead of helping we stand aside and watch him fail, then we come to the force of the fore-front with our tardy suggestions and belated hints that defi- nitely tend to impede any further progress. Now that you have completed your pictorial journey through the events of the 1969-70 school year, stop and think a minute. If after this short period of thought and recollection you ascertain that your school year leaves much to be de- sired, your contributions were few, and you received even less in return, then if the Yearbook does nothing else, let it serve as an incubator of new ideas and ideals, in addition to being a motivator of your soul.

A little desolate Morehouse man . . . a little girl. Though we appear to others to be more miniscule than we really are we must realize that ours is but a fraction of the universe . . . What we know as a nation, as a people is but one idea of many . . . What we have learned of ourselves is but a finite entity of experience that we share with the thousands and hope to leave to still thousands yet to omne. What we as individuals in our limited community search to find, to conquer, to use is but a pebble in the vastness of the universe. As a fruitful goal let us strive together for a unity of millions which will never scorn the voice of one. Let us not he so hesitant to cry at a sad symphony or to laugh at a crony joke. Let us en- lighten our neighbors and find out why they would kill each other Over dogs and not protest to the lives of their husbands and sons who are being killed abroad. We have tried to bring you in the past few pages the view of our immediate community as we see it. Our world is small and we appear to be small in it but one must begin small to one day become big in our Enal light. Johnnie Simmons see v.5; y if -. ' 55 171 Man is heterogenesis by nature.

Some are large, some are small, and some are classified as haverage . What is average? No two people are identical in form and intellect. What is called correct and just for one may be the converse of the needs, desires, and total satisfaction of another. The individual has no juris- diction for attempting to pressme his own convictions upon another. Neither does he have the right or privilege to deal with anothefs personal affairs. To stick onefs foot into anothefs pitfall is only to be caught unprepared and off guard and to land in a pitfall of one's own. To attempt to fit into an opening which is nut shaped to fit onehs phalange is only to become a part of fraud and indiscretion.

Each as opposite as the seasons of a year. This year has brought its disappoint- ments and pains as well as its moments of happiness whether they were heating or prolonged. Life exists in a never ending cycle. The first bud of a spring Hower grows in promise of a. blossom for summer. Just to fold in to the slow deterioration of autumn, to enter the bleakness of winter only in promise of another spring.
