He was graduated from the Park- ersburg High School, and later entered Howard University where he completed part of his collegiate education. He transferred to Morgan College and completed work for his A.B. degree in June, 1923. Immediately after gradua- tion from Morgan he was appointed principal of Garnett High School, Chestertown, Maryland. After serving in this capacity for one year, he was promoted to the super- visorship of Colored schools in Kent County, Maryland. Professor Grant was called to the principalship of Morgan Academy in the fall of 1925. In 1927, he earned the M.A. degree at Columbia University. When Morgan Academy was discontinued, Professor Grant was transferred to the College Faculty as Head of the Department of Education. He served in this capacity until he was appointed Acting Dean in the fall of 1936 to succeed Dean John W. Haywood. Professor Grant studied at Columbia, 1932-33, on a fel- lowship from the General Education Board. During this year he completed the residence requirement for the Ph.D. degree. Dean Grant has had a very successful year at Morgan. He has the type of personality that inspires the students to greater heights. John Wilfred Haywood, S. T. D.. was born in Waxaha- chie. Texas. After having been graduated from the high school of his town, he entered Lincoln University in 1899, where he was graduated as valedictorian of his class (B. A. degree) in 1903. Between the time of his gradua- tion and 1908 he was public school teacher in the rural and small towns of Texas. From 1908 to 1911 he was an instructor of Greek and Latin in Lincoln University where lie also simultaneously pursued graduate and Theological courses. In 1911 he was awarded the M. A. and the S. T. B. degrees at Lincoln University. He served as Dean and professor at Wiley College in Texas, 1912-1919. In 1920 Dr. Haywood was called to the principalship of Morgan Academy, preparatory department of Morgan Col- lege which was discontinued in 1926. In 1924 he was elevated to the Deanship of Morgan College where he served faithfully and efficiently until the summer of 1936. He is now President of Morristown College, Morristown, Tennessee. Dr. Haywood has been honored by many in- stitutions with honorary degrees in recognition of his out- standing work in the fields of Education and Religion. The Class of 1937 will ever remember ‘‘Dean Haywood” as a man who works for the joy of working, who thinks clearly and without prejudice through all problems which confront him, and who represents our ideal of an intelligent man. 8
