Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1950 volume:

ALMA MATER c¥ait Jlotyan Fair Morgan,‘we love thee, so tried and so true, Our hearts at thy name thrill with pride; We owe thee allegiance, we pledge thee our faith A faith which shall ever abide. Fair Morgan, as onward the years swiftly fly. And thou livest in memory sweet, We bring thee our laurels whatever they be. And lay them with joy at thy feet. We pledge thee our love, we pledge thee our faith. Whatever the future may bring, And thus our devotion, fidelity, too, And homage we pay as we sing. MORRIS A. SOPER LIBRARY 3 205fl 004Mb 704 THE PROMETHEAN Pui ishcd (he Senia i [iass of MORGAN STATE COLLEGE BALTIMORE, MARYLAND Ctttneqic a This ivy covered building is the hub of activity at Morgan. It now houses the offices of the Registrar, the Dean, the Business Manager, and the Accountant. Teachers’ offices and classrooms are here. also. In the basement of Carnegie are the unforgetablc “rabble rooms where many a dewv-cyed freshman has come not knowing how to play that popular game—pinochle, but has left Morgan as a master” of the art of playing this game. The Carnegie Corporation gave a consider- able sum of money toward the erection of this build- ing; hence, the name of the building became Carnegie Hall. Almost every student at Morgan will go in and out of this building at least three times a week. Some of the students literally live in Carnegie. When you want to know what is going on on the campus among the different organizations just go to the lobby of Carnegie. If one should pass among the students in the lobby, one might hear the “solutions” to all of the problems confronting Mr. Truman, the State Department or the Labor Unions. If you have any social problems, someone in Carnegie can help you. If one is looking for a pal, then Carnegie is the first place to go. That's just how important Carnegie Hall is to Morganites! ft j ?orz : '’attttnf st J fruOZ sdh sdtuZfa s fw (fasaSfk 4fft' fj sfy. t?u£ xffru fyvu, safr ii. %£ften ,fX.' t€Zr StzZ cfr uz e ’ rt XtfSif zZ tuMy. jff 4 x 4tfM€y AfZa rC fatfc Ax4'f trZ 6 s nt' ' - {4 4 -j '£€? r 4J 4, Wstf4 rt£s $ £ y€ uuf ff fctO t€s sm€4 u jp. f tZc (Z S C s trf (y T fZftZ fUfr ftSTW ,zfrfs e tfz- J p£ -s tr? s €'. s f??z- zsU , fe €sZ- 0 frj£ 4rt£ yr7PU2 ' 4t4 H 4 y$Zl€y 4U . fusz Z n st td caZlfTZ s TZ STSts trH ffry£ 6Z$ ( Wa t r?iy rlS Cfr7? t ,y£ sCfT ts fivfaZtwtgc yca f, 2 tf jXa - rzf. srrHrt - s tsCs Z t K rfe £s Zzk Cirrrtt. xZ J r7Z 42 s 'sprt tifr t frt4x£s 4f 4r?rt f pr t . frlrt zZ4 44AfrZ4d s s rif s€ ty_ 4ZC PV 4 4cZ rts 'ff ff £ 4jf £s • • • Sfence,t flail This building was named in honor of the late John O. Spencer, Ph.D.. IX.D., who served as Morgan’s Presi- dent from 1902-1937. It houses science classrooms, laboratories, and offices of some of the members of the science department. Grants by the Governor and Gen- eral Assembly of the State made possible the erection of this building. Now Spencer Hall is as popular as the lobby of Carnegie Hall. Why? The reason is that our new Canteen is located in the basement. Pennants of the rival schools in our C. I. A. A. conference are about the wall; paddles of our Noble Greok-letter organizations are placed in the most noticeable positions. There is dancing space for our 1 iep-cat co-eds” to do the ‘apple- jack and the “bug.” Knotty-pine scats and booths are attached to the walls. So when the guys and gals are feeling kind of low after failing an exam or two or if they want a snack, it’s to the Varsity “M” Canteen they’ll go. The Home Economics Department is also in Spencer. It has a very modern apartment with the latest in bed- room, living room, dining room, and kitchen furniture. It isn’t at all strange to go through the apartment and find two or three two-year-old babies running about, be- cause here the girls learn home management and child care. tfo iewoftd This book, which you arc now opening, is the summation of four years of activi- ties of the class of 1950. Although our dreams and those of our parents have ma- terialized, it is sentimentally difficult to bid farewell to Morgan. The “rough profs, the star sport teams, the rabble rooms, pinochle games to the wee A. M. hours, fraternity and sorority initiations, construction of new buildings, the sudden death of Big Jim Turpin, overcrowded classes, and evenings in the canteen will always be perennial memories. Each phase of campus life has been consolidated in the PROMETHEAN, but the staff confesses that many of the experiences are excluded, for it is impossible to inculcate sentiments of over two hundred graduates in one volume. Nevertheless, it is hoped that throughout these pages one will find a picture or phrase which will recall some detail of the past years. For three or four of us, the preparation of this book has required spending end- less nights working, grouping pictures, typing copy, and doing the small tasks so es- sential for a publication. This involved sacrificing week-end dates, relinquishing free periods, and losing hours of sleep. I would like to thank all those persons who worked tirelessly and patiently. These include the photographers, the proofreaders, the typists, and secretaries. Specifically, my deepest gratitude is extended to Brenda Lewis, who stuck bv me through “thick-and-thin”; Hilda Perry, who never knew the word “NO ; and Wilbert Walker for his accurate handling of the finances. Elizabeth Frances Johnson Editor-in-Chief Jtmoual fte ectoty Morgan, like most schools. lost a number of men during the draft of the early war years. Little did any of us dream that so many of our fold would not return. However, at the end of the war we found that we had not paid a tribute to those men and women who had helped make it possible for Morgan State College to continue as a free school unmolested by horrors of war. Therefore, when the state made possible the erection of this building, this proved a fitting time to honor and pay tribute to them; hence, it was named Memorial Refectory. The cafeteria in this building is the most modernistic in the Hast. It has two serving tables which does away with standing in long lines. There is also a faculty dining hall. The basement houses the offices of the R. O. 1’. C. The rifle range has attracted many a would-be sharp shooter.” As a matter of fact, we now have one of the few Negro rifle teams in the city. Major Burke says they do rather well for amateurs. This building was opened in September 1949. Since that time it has been in constant use by civic and campus organizations. GF.ORGE C. GRANT Dean Jiessaqe (e (he (jiaJuadnq Chass Greetings and so-long to the Class of 1950. What a pleasure it has been to watch you gradually mature year by year, step by step. You have grown in stature, in self-confidence, in awareness of problems, and in ability to solve these problems. Perhaps, the time will come when you will forget the steps by which you have reached maturity, but if the college has done its job well, you will never be rid of the vision, the intellectual curiosity and the will to do and succeed, which are indirect outcomes of classroom work. Please note that you are graduating in 1950 which is the end of the first half of the 20th Century. Many things have happened to our people over the past fifty years. Many more must happen the next half century. World events have hastened the realization in America that Negro citizens must lx granted the same opportunities to contribute to American Democracy as all other citizens. Your stay at Morgan has been wasted unless you individually and collectively are ready to help make society better; unless you are ready to seize upon opportunities for hastening the integration of our people into American life. We cannot expect the ordinary man in the street, who has not had your educational advantages, to assume the leadership in our struggle to make democracy work. The task rests entirely upon your shoulders. Never feel alone, because the spirit which is the real Morgan encompasses you and me and all of us. and will do so until the end of time. So long. Class of 1950. Come back and tell us of your successes so that we may rejoice with you. Confide in us when you fail to live up to your highest potentialities and we will try to help.

Omega Psi Phi 49 rlass of UPSiO, $0 tic Class of 50 Since the lime of your entrance here in September 1946 and your departure in June 1950, there lie the wrecks of great empires, social and political systems, ideas and old established relations. Before us there is a perilous promise of new forms of human organization, new political, dip- lomatic and economic structures, new powers over material forces, new knowl- edge over the physical world and perhaps also, of our behavior and psy- chology. Before us and around us there is an enormous creative energy of many kinds which will lead to many changes today in the shape of human society. How these historic factors will combine, or to what ends, no man can say. Forces within our own democratic society are as great a threat to Ameri- can freedom as is the tyranny of Fascists and Communists from the out- side. The prowlings of the Klan. the tendency to dodge on racial and other discriminatory issues, the refusal to grant all Americans the actual right of a free ballot, the tendency to disguise a selfish interest as an altruistic appeal to principle, and the tendency for totalitarians and certain other extreme reactionaries to misuse the symbols of democracy for undemocratic ends are striking examples. I know you will use your talents and training as a vanguard against the encroachment of malevolent practices antithetical to the democratic- process. 'Fhe two basic goals of our democracy are: first the freedom, dignity, and moral responsibility of the individual human being with the equal opportu- nity to make the most of his personality as a potential son of Cod and brother of all men; second the welfare of the people. Members of the class of 50 know that the freedom of the indivi- dual must not be at the expense of the general welfare. The general wel- fare must not mean the loss of the free- dom of the individual. The fair freedom of the individuals contributes to more general well-being and the wholesome welfare of all people contributes to a higher freedom of the individual. I am confident that you will dedicate your lives to the service of humanity. Roar.RT Lewis Gill Class Advisor Jtcssaqe to tic C ss oj 50 This moment at the turning point of the 20th century, must hold for you as it holds for me. profound meaning. As you read this, you have completed or in a short time will successfully complete, your undergraduate training. In this your hour of triumphant joy, and climax to four years of patient work and hard study, I salute and congratu- late you. You have indelibly made your im- print upon Morgan. You have broken many records and set precedents. A glance through this volume of your yearbook will evince this fact. I must express my sincere thanks, first, for your confidence and faith in elevating me to the leadership of our class during both the freshmen and the senior years, and secondly, for your cooperation, criticism, and diligence in getting a jobdone. In this connection I have the highest praise, gratitude, and admiration for those who formed a part of my administrative family and in particular for Miss Frances Johnson and her staff, whose untiring efforts have pro- duced this monumental 1950 edition of the PROME- TIIEAN. It is my hope that these attributes of cooperation, criticism and diligence in getting a job done will go with you from this campus into the community, our state and our world. This Year of Jubilee presents us with a mandate for spiritual rejuvena- tion and offers a challenging opportu- nity for us to act and stand up and be counted on the political, economic, and social issues of our day. Against all that is unequal, unjust and malicious in our society, let us strike a blow. We stand here upon an auspicious promontory of time. With thousands of others like us, we view a world of confusion, complexity, intrigue and tumultuous change. What will be the vistas of this world, the second half of this 20th century? To us, posterity has bequeathed the tools of the master painter. It is for us to paint the picture that we will. Clarence W.

Those who assisted in trying to beat the deadline found a great deal of trepidation in their work but equally as much companionably mirth. Elizabeth (Frankie) Johnson, the boss lady, kept her whip shined but never used it. Brenda Lewis, the Managing Editor, acted as a jack of all trades and helped Frankie shine her whip.

Wilbert Walker kept a deadly watch on the accuracy of the financial books making a receipt book part of his normal dress. J. 1'. Moore could always be seen with speed-ball pen in one hand and drawing paper in the other trying to make his deadline for art work. All-in-all, there was never a dull moment. It has been the desire of the staff to give the student body a book that will serve in recalling and reviewing the friendships of classmates, professors, of sports and cam- pus scenes of a particular college year that cannot be erased from our minds. I This was the refrain heard throughout our college career. Each and everyone of us belonged to one or more organizations.

Most of the men and women interested in the recreational and potential possibilities of dancing have become active members of this club.

Under the command of Major Clinton Burke, the Morgan ROTC has been working hard during the past year to keep up its honor rating of the first year. Under the guidance of Colonel West Hamilton, this new department was added to the campus in 1948. Military Day was held in the early spring. Included in the activities were competitive drills and matches, demonstrations, handling of weapons and other military specialties. Morgan’s ROTC Band provides much more than just marching music for the unit; it also furnishes a musical outlet for talented students. It is. however, made up of ROTC students only. Because of the exact precision required in the execution of its marching duties, the Band has to spend more than the usual amount of time in drilling. Credit for its precision and fine playing may be given to the Bandleader- Rutherford Hayes St rider. During the commencement exercises, six cadets will bo commissioned second lieutenants. This will be the first graduation class from the Department of Military Science and Tactics. Other students in the advanced section will attend a summer camp during the coming summer for six weeks. The following arc members of the ROTC staff: Major Clinton Burke. P.MS. if T.; Captain John Harlin, Associate Professor M.S. hr T.; Sgt.

Tennessee. He has built outstanding organizations in many cities including I-cxington and Covington, Kentucky. Alabama A and M College, Alcorn A and M College, and Georgia State College. Mr. Strider was a Chief Warrant Officer during the second World War, and he received special recognition from the War Department for his work as Band- Commander of the 340th ASF Band which served as Headquarters’ Band at Fort Bragg. N. C. He also organized and directed the 317th Aviation Glee Club, Drum Corps, and Orchestra while an enlisted man at Courtland Army Air Base. Courtland, Alabama.

II It T� istoru Of The (School 4 � � � • Let’s reminisce a while about dear “ole” Morgan. It has ex- perienced a phenomenal growth since 1867, when it was founded by five men as the Biblical Institute. In 1890, Dr. L. F. Morgan made an enormous contribution to the school to provide for the inclusion of college preparatory courses; hence, the name Morgan College came into being. The next move was the use of the old Edmondson Avenue site which later became inadequate; then a tract of land was secured at Hillen Road and Arlington Avenue. From time to time additional acreage was secured. In 1939, Morgan embarked upon the third phase of its history. Through the continuous efforts of Dr. 1 lolmes and others it became a state institution, and the name was changed to Morgan State College. A master construction program was launched. Beautiful buildings such as Truth House, Soper Hall, Tubman House, Memorial Refectory were completed. Plans for other buildings are being drawn up. Morgan has seen eighty-three years of glorious progress, and it is to “ole Morgan that we shall bring our laurels. 88 SeniM Mary Buddin Adams 2109 Rupp Street Baltimore, Maryland Linwood H.

Nathaniel Young 1152 Carey Street Baltimore, Maryland A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian spring; For shallow draughts intoxicate the brain. And drinking deeply sobers us again. Pope’s Essay on Criticism But O! whate’er my fate may be. And time alone that tale can tell. May you be happy, blest, and free From every ill! My colleague, farewell! Yes, the summer of life passes quickly away. Soon the winter of age sheds its snow on the heart, But the warm sun of Friendship, that gilded youth’s day.
