MORRIS R. SOPER LIBRARY 3 2056 0044b 7122 1955 PROMETHEAN Published by the Senior Class of Morgan State College Baltimore 12, Maryland T r 'J' - T_ ' f -i u i FOREWORD Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp. Or what’s a heaven -for? —Andrea Del Sarto by Robert Browning With the world on the verge of what ap- pears to be self-inflicted disintegration, young people of today ore confronted with challenges that are comparable to the greatest of those presented to the youth of any other age. College and universjty students, cognizant of these chal- lenges. are willing to share the responsibiilty of helping to solve them. The problem of our as- suming such responsibility lies, however, in the question of whether or not we are equipped with the training needed to do the job effectively. We believe that Morgan has given us the basic training needed for successful participation in the kind of world in which we are living. We propose to present in the 1955 PRO- METHEAN reasons for our belief. The growth of the college, the growth of our minds and bodies, and our broader insights into problems of human relations should support our confidence in the educational program at Morgan.

Originally chartered in 1867 and known as the Centenary Biblical Institute, the school offered in- struction somewhat irregularly in the lecture rooms of various Baltimore churches to young men de- sirous of becoming ministers. Two years later, the Institute obtained more suitable facilities and was formally opened at 44 East Saratoga Street. By the late I870's, the enrollment of students had increased to the extent that a larger build- ing had to be acquired. Dr. and Mrs. John F. Soucher gave the Institute a lot. located at the intersection of Fulton and Edmondson Avenues, upon which the first permanent structure was erected—a building now known as the Maryland Workshop for the Blind. During the next few years, other changes became necessary. Normal and academic courses were added to the cur- riculum. and young women were admitted to the institute as students. Morgan's second phase of development began in 1890. when a generous endowment by Dr. Lyttleton F. Morgan made possible the offering of courses on the college level. The name of the school was changed to Morgan College in honor of the benefactor. In time, the build- ing at Edmondson Avenue became inadequate for the increased student enrollment and the expanded educational program. In 1917. a new site was purchased in the Govans section of the city, known as the Ivy Mills property and the Morton Estate. Many older alumni will remember nostalgically the dirt roads, peach trees and buildings of that early Morgan campus. With particular interest, they will remember Washington Hall which, if rumor be true, had been a tavern during the latter decad- es of the nineteenth century.

Dr. Dwight O. W. Holmes, the final phase of Morg- an's development began. By an enactment of the General Assembly. Morgan became a state institution. Its name was changed to Morgan State College: and. with state support, the school has continued to grow physically and academically. Morgan is now identified with a beautiful campus, functional buildings, and modern educational fa- cilities. These are. however, the external signs of the growth of the college. Academically. Morgan is identified with well-trained personnel, high scholastic standards, and opportunities for personal and inter-personal growth, based upon Christian, democratic, and liberal arts traditions.

Murphy, Chairman 14 DEAR MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1955: Yours is the unique distinction of being the first class to graduate since the history-making integration decison of the Supreme Court of the Unted States. Greatly increased are your opportunities—equally great is the increase in your re- sponsibilities in a freer world. Much as we have disliked the restrictions under which a considerable sector of our citizenry has been forced to live, yet it cannot be denied that too often many individuals have been inclined to use those very restrictions as a convenient lean- ing post from which they merely watch the flow of progress rather than attempt to plunge in and breast the tide. During your stay at Morgan, competent and friendly people, working from many levels, have striven to equip you with the tools necessary to achieve and hold a position of security in the new phase of life upon which you are now entering. We shall watch with keenest interest to note how effectively you use these tools and skills which have been acquired here. Heartiest congratulations upon your progress thus far, and best wishes for your abundant success as you embark upon a new and challenging adventure. Cordially yours. George C. Grant, 3 ea„ TO THE CLASS OF 1955: Once more we say au revoir to a group of students who have inextricably woven themselves into the warp and woof of Morgan. What the college has done for you is not represented by your diploma. Indeed, what we have done for you cannot be revealed all at once. The characteristics of sensitivity to human relations, intellectual curiosity, de- termination. cooperativeness and good citizenship will unfold more and more as the years pass by. We desire for you vision, imagination, and independence of thought and action. There is much truth in the adage, Ho who does only what he is told to do will never be told to do big things. Therefore, in these exciting times think big and act big. You have many friends bound together by the spirit that is Morgan, who will remain interested in you every step of the way.

HUMANITIES The humanities represent studies of the life of man with respect to his language, his philoso- phy. his music and other arts. Such studies should make for the rounding out of the individual so that he is prepared to interpret adequately and find meaning in all of his experiences. The Division of the Humanities extends to each member of the Class of 1955 warmest greet- ings and the hope that life for each of you will be filled with deep reflections and fruitful exper- iences. W« study language! to help us understand the people. 21 £ 22 SOCIAL SCIENCES The Division of Social Science, through its various departments, has aimed toward building social consciousness and a unifying philosophy whereby the graduate may have attained not only coordinated facts but a method for effective use of the data of human experience. It is hoped that thought initiated in the cour. ses offered will have been so deeply rooted that the mature personality will have become at once an interpreter of history, an ameliorator of cul- tural pressures, a wise economist, an efficient bus- iness technician, and a constant learner. It is hoped that these competencies will have been so integrated that behavior will reflect wisdom: that the results of behavior will reflect social prog- ress: and that effective impress will be made on the dramatic problems of this vibrant age. Th staff in session. A class in sociolo9y, studying mony aspects and their implications of the human family unit in modern society. 24 Learning to live with a natural forca NATURAL SCIENCES The Division of Natural Sciences is composed of eight departments: Biology. Chemistry. Health and Physical Education, Home Economics. Math- ematics. Physics. Psychology, and Science Educa- tion. In this Division, the student is provided the opportunity to develop proficiency in any of the above named fields of human knowledge. Many of the courses in this Division provide cultural or liberalizing experiences. The student may choose a curriculum that will prepare him to enter his vocation immediately upon graduation. The aims of these curricula are to train high school teachers in the various fields of these natural sciences as laboratory and medical technicians, public health workers, junior profes- sional assistants in federal agencies, athletic train- ers. dietitians, home demonstration agents, recrea- tion workers, playground supervisors, and research assistants. Students may also obtain preparatory training for the following professions: college tea- ching, medicine, nursing and many others. Staff meeting of the Division of Natural Science .

STEWART Infantry Rifle Team Leern to Lead The Military Science Department of Morgan State College has many characteristics of individuality, not the least of which is its subject matter. Of particular significance is the fact that the Department crosses all other deparmenfal lines of the college from the standpoint of its main objective, the development of leaders. We emphasize the military concept of discipline— that standard of personal deportment, work requirement, courtesy, appearance, and ethical conduct, which inculcated in men, will enable them singly, or collectively, to perform their mission with the optimum of efficiency . The relationship of this concept to the Departmental objective is gratifyingly reflected in the progress our graduates are making as military leaders. The Department is privileged to ex- tend congratulations to all members of the class of 1955 with anx- ious hopes for the tull success of every member of the class. t AWN TO LEAD' nf 29 The whole structure of our education is built around the knowledge obtained in our classes. It is here that we are given our perspectives and foundations upon which we construct our separate pursuits. Ever cognizant are we that class room instruction cannot fill all the gaps of knowledge that we have sought here. To bridge the gaps so that the kaleidscope of our educational experience will fall into place we will make use of the throe most important tools obtoined in our classes: logic, reason, and thought. These tools were indispen sible to on understanding of the areas of study we have pursued while at Morgan. They will bo of no lesser importance in our daily lives than we found them in our classes.

At that time the second year of the Korean conflict had start- ed, and our minds and vocabularies were filled with terms that were famiiar to everyone, such as Pork Chop Hill, Old Baldy” and 'Heartbreak Ridge ' — all gauges of the uncertain, turbulent times in which we were living. The capture or loss of these hills in Korea held special significance for us and the entire world, indicating the number of lives lost or saved in battle maneuvers. Particu- larly close to us was the realization that the troops in Korea were boys of our own ages who were or might have beon our friends and relatives. Despite the unsettling influences of the inter- national scene, we proceeded in the conventional activities of all college freshman. After conquering our fear of upperclassmen and becoming acquainted with our dog and bunny caps: we elected Leroy Coles as our class president. Shirley May. our freshman queen, represented us in the Homecoming parade: Ernie Garrett roccivcd the A O A key for having made the highest average in the class. We proudly pre- sented the famous Freshman Five,' who played basketball with distinction to themselves, to our class and to the college. The five players were Spider Murphy. Ernie Garrett, Deke Wells. Big Mc- Millan, and Rosy Roseborcuqh. During our sophomore year, the slogan, We like Ike. haunted us. for we had lived all our lives under a Democratic Administration. Suddenly the familiar pattern was threatened and finally chan- ged when General of the Army. Dwight David Eis- enhower. was elected president. Thus, another anx- iety was added to the previous one. The new Pres- ident. however, offered us hope in the fact that he promised to end the Korean conflict and bring our boys home. Future changes at Morgan occurred that year. Lemuel Lomax.

History HISTORY The campus became a muddy thoroughfare with the beginning of the erection of new buildings. Gone was the beautiful shrubbery, lining the old familiar road through the campus where doublo wolf lines of boys sat watching the girls as they walked to the dormitories, as if they were on parade, from the Refectory and Carnegie Hall. That year Peachie Proctor was our sophomore queen and Edward Smith was the president of our class. Our junior year found us a bit moro com- placent about the world situation because inter- national affairs had settled down to potentially dangerous but steady argumentation in the United Nations with local flare ups here and there in the world. Perhaps we were becoming hardened to threats of war. Most important of all was what was happening here at home. The Supreme Court declared that segregation in schools was uncon- stitutional, making us even more cognizant of the importance of ' our reach exceeding our grasp. ‘ We were honored in our junior year by being given a day that was our own. and was appropria- tely called Junior Day. at which time we paid honor and tribute to outstanding juniors and sen- iors. Joseph Berry, our junior class president, was master of ceremonies for the occasion. In sports the Flying Four represented us well in Europe with Josh Culbreath setting a Brit- ish record in hurdles in England and Mexico. Gar- rett was high scorer at home in basketball. Grace Ewell was the highest ranking junior with an averago of 2.6. Delaphine Faucette was our junior class queen. Now that wo are loaving Morgan at a time when there is still dissatisfaction in the world, it begins to appear that the last four years are indica- tive of the tension that may surround us all of our lives. At least at the present moment, no im- mediate, peaceful solution seems apparent. ULYSSES S. STUBBS Adwijor to Junior Clan MISS JUNIOR Leah Calherina Hill Class of 56 This class numbers approximately two hundred and fifty. Its members have not yet achieved those goals which they seek here, but with three fourths of the journey covered they are veil on their way toward the realization of their ob- jective. It is our hope that the class of '55 will excel or show positive progress in the execution of its plans and projects. 68 s a o i n n r a MARION L. GREGORY Adviior to Sophomore Clast Clast of '57 The sophomore class is composed of over three hundred who have sought earnestly to stimulate fuller participation in class activities. As the class passes through its transitory period, from gen- eralization to specialization, its members should reorientate themsolves: first, in torms of their responsibilities as members of the class of '57: second, in terms of their responsibilities as Mor- ganities: and lastly, in terms of their responsi- bilities as students. MISS SOPHOMORE Janice Williams rm m MISS FRESHMAN Sandra Jone� ISAIAH A. WOODWARD Advlior to Fr ashman Clan Claw of '58 To the Class of ‘58, we of the 1955 PRO- METHEAN underscore Dr. Martin D. Jenkins' statement of welcome to them: We welcome to Morgan State College high school graduates who have the ability to do college work and the determination to utilize the college years for self-development. FRESHMAN -— TOE ■ Organizations at Morgan provide workshops for students to oxecuto democratic concepts, as they apply to self government, and creative tech- niques which have been learned in the classroom. By participating in the various activities, students gain valuable experience in the responsibilities, as individuals and as a group, of insuring good gov- ernment by participating actively and harmonious- ly in elections of capable, sincere officials for the Student. Pan-Hellenic, and Dormitory Councils and in the fraternities and sororities. Further, they are given opportunities to create significant illusion on the stage, to create beauty and harmony ot sound and to crystallize ideas and community op- inion. it GEORGE H. OUTEN President of tho Student Council STUDENT COUNCIL As tho most important student policy-deter- mining organization on the campus, the Council provides opportunities tor experiences in self gov- ernment and sets tho tone for high scholarship among students. This year the Council has end- eavored to stimulate thought and expression by sponsoring Fireside Chats' , at which students and faculty have participated in discussions of age-old and current problems. In addition, the Council has invited prominent speakers to share their views and mature experiences with the stu- dents. It is the hope of tho Council that the foster- ing of scholastic achievement will continue long after the tenure of its present administration has expired. Further, it is hoped thot the Council will have mado an indelible impression upon the atti- tudes and actions of the Morgan community to the extent that student government will grow stronger and more effective in the future. 78 These two groups assume the responsibility for good student government in the College dormintories. Both Councils conduct weekly room inspections and take disciplinary action for student infractions of the established rules and policies in the dormitories. i 77 . m DRAMA HAITI, by William DuBois — Odette sorrows for her suicide father, tho Haitian patriot, Jacques, es General LeClerc glowers his chagrin.

MUSIC The organizations featured on these pages are typ- ical of the many groups connected with the musical train- ing offered at the college. Music, in the opinion of the staff, is the most humanizing of the Humanities on many levels of experience. Participation, either actively or pas- sively. stimulates the imagination, gives opportunity for creativity, and permits an individual to invite his soul . Under the guidance of the music faculty, students are given practical knowledge. The are qualified for mem- bership in the national organizations which have been es- tablished to protect the creative works and economic con- ditions of musicians and which permit teachers of music to explore and experiment with methods of making musical experience significant in the classroom.

Prometheus, it is reported, brought fire from Ol- ympus to comfort and be a blessing to man. Such is the symbolism of the education students receive at the the college. Further. Promethean fire sym- bolizes creativity, replenishment, and bold orig- inality. The Spokesman is the official voice of the Morgan student. It exists to perform the service of expressing the ideologies of the Morgan soci- ety and to give direction to the ethical and scien- tific principles of democracy, freedom of express- ion and freedom of action based upon free access to truth. Truth may remain undiscovered unless channels and media of communication provide all with an unrestricted flow of public information and public opinion. The Spokesman has grown in scope and in quality. It has come from a small pamphlet size publication to the present four to eight pago, AA- rated newspaper. One of the newspaper's major projects this year is to bring a press conference of college edi- tors to the campus. The staff olso plans to award honor pins to the most proficient reporters at the end of the semester. We can be proud of our newspaper because it is very well known in many colleges. It was com- mended by the Mayor of Baltimore City. Thomas D’Alesandro. as a timely and well written: inter- esting and informative newspaper. Excerpts from the Spokesman are often quoted in nationally syn- dicated Negro newspapers. 84 The Pan-Hollonic Council is composed of two representatives from eight of the fraternities and sororities on the campus. The participating groups are Alpha Kappa Alpha. Alpha Phi Alpha. Beta Sigma Tau. Delta Sigma Theta. Zota Phi Beta. Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Beta Sigma. Omega Psi Phi. The major purpose of the Council is to foster activities leading to wholesome, cooperative fra- ternal experience and to encourage high scholastic standards among college students. Dean George C. Grant is adviser to the Council.

This aim is manifested in the frat- ernity's affiliation with the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The Beta Sigma Tau frat- ernity participates actively with the Committee on Racial Equality in its fight against segregation. Though still a young organization, the program of Beta Sigma Tau is rapidly expanding, bringing national recognition to the fraternity. MEMBERS Horace Ashby.

Pi Beta Sigma aims to develop a friendly spirit, encourage leadership, and to promote greater cooperation and understanding among social, religious and national groups. Re- cently, the organization sponsored a benefit dance at Crownsville State Hospital. Each year during Christmas and Thanksgiving, baskets are prepared for the needy. During the polio drive, the group assisted the Jack and Jill Club in helping to raise funds for polio victims. Those are some of the projects which Pi Beta Sigma sponsors in an ef- fort to make campus and community life more wholesome. 2)efta Chapter Sylvia Bean Camilla Booth Mary Boulwaro Sarah Bowers Mattie Brooks Barbara Brown Ruth Bryant Edith Burgess Jonnie Clanton Romaino Coleman Minnie Coles Mary Elbert Margaret Erwin Gladys Ford Gloria Ford Delaphine Faucette Jean Gaither Carleza Gregg Delores Hall Bettyc Harris Juno Harston Shirley Hayward Catherine Hill Nancy Holmes MEMBERS s4fpla 2beAa Chapter Carolyn Hughes Miriam Hughes Joan Lightfoot Doris McNamara Mordino Mallory Shirley May Patricia Percival Joesther Praileau Audrey Rheubottom Evelyn Roberts Anne Shervington Doris Spry Bessie Sumner Shirley Taylor Dolores Thompson Jean Turner Jean Walton Lorraine Waters Doris Wheeler Janice Williams Laura Wilson Muriel Wilson The oldest Negro sorority.

Mothers' Day Tea. Sweetheart Ball, and the entertainment of the boys at Boys Village. Kappa Alpha Psi is more than a social organization: it seeks to encourage young men to strive for and achieve a place of usefulness in the college and the community. KAPPA ALPHA PSI The many and varied activities at Morgan give further evidence of the opportunities avail- able for students to gain valuable experience in living together, to develop leadership abilities, to acquire professional and vocational proficiency, to develop a personal code of Christian ideals and ethics, and to learn how to use leisure time wisely. Equally important is the encouragement given to students to strive toward high scholastic standards. DEBATING The Dwight O. W.

SPORTS FOOTBALL In the early days of Morgan, then called the Centenary Biblical Institute, it was difficult to find enough men to make up squads for sports activities because the school had such a small enrollment. Frequently, it became necessary to draft men to maintain adequate athletic teams. Not always has Morgan been so fortunate as to have a suitable place in which to play football games. There are still some peoplo who can re- member Goose Hill whore contests were for- merly held. Morgan did not have a trained and experi- enced coach until 1922 when Lucien B. Ayers was employed. He held the position until 1926. From 1926 until 1928. three other men coached Mor- gan's athletic teams. In 1928, Coach Edward P. Hurt took over the coaching position. Under his directorship and assisted by members of his staff. Morgan has boon generally regarded as having the ability to produce championship teams. The Bears have won 138 games, lost 33. and tied 14. amassing 13 CIAA grid championships and several national championships. This season the Morgan team has provod it- self to be more threatening than surmised by cer- tain of its adversaries. Morgan defeated West Virginia in the Capitol Classics in the last three minutes of play, after having tied the score in the same period. The final score was 32-26. A and T was defeated also in the final sixty seconds of the game with a score 6-0. Each of the games played this year presented exciting moments as the Bears exhibited superb strategy, form and teamwork. r r U 8 8 tli X ear with the yyjor an d3ear 108 Ill Morgan player goat lor short gain.

Morgan's track men have successfully displayed their special talents in many countries and have dominated the C.I.A.A. meets for many years. Morganites will recall for- mer outstanding stars. Bob Tyler, George Rhodon, Art Bragg, Bill Brown, and Sam LaBeach. who reigned on the cinder paths in former years. Pre- sently. such athletes as Josh Culbroath. Otis John- son, James Rogers, and Herman Wade are con- tinuing in the tradition set by former trackmen Ask yourself the question, why are Morgan track men great? You are likely to find that great athletes in conjunction with excellent direction and qood cooperation may be part of your answer. They must not only exhibit the qualities mentioned, but must also possess the desire to compete and the heart to win.

Tennis is thought by some to be a derivation of the game of handball, which originated in Ire- land as early as the I Oth century. Others believe it dates back 2 to 3 centuries when royal fam- ilies were great sport devotees. The popularity of the game spread rapidly. Today, it is an important part of the athletic program. The game of golf as it is played today had its origin in Scotland in the early 14th century. However, the origination bf the game has been ascribed to many peoples and many lands. Prob- ably a gamo of striking a ball or pellet with a knobbed stick is as old as the spirit of play. Though Morgan doesn't as yet have a varsity golf team; it does have many amateur enthusiasts.

Intramural and recreational sports for mon and women are conducted and supervised by the Department of Health and Physical Education. The management of intramural athletics is under the control of the Intramural Council, a group of nino students who are appointed by the president of the Council. This group is composed of one male and one female student from the senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes, and one member from the Student Council. Students and faculty members alike enjoy the privilege of participating in intramural activities. This aspect of the Morgan curriculum allows every member of the college community the opportunity to engage in some sport or some form of physical exercise for the fun derived from participa- tion or for the advantages obtained from exercising the body. The indi- vidual who deserves the most credit for promoting and executing such a splendid program is Mr. Emory Bowie, a Morgan alumnus, a former varsity football and track star, and after gaduation a competent coach.

Socialization is as much a part of our education as any knowl- edge obtained in classcoom instruction. Our ex- periences outside the areas of formal instruction are of primary importance. We are provided the opportunity to put into practice much of the information and precepts we've learned. For this is the real test. Campus life is an integral part of our educational development. The challenge for us is to integrate this phase of our development with that phase which may be labeled strictly academic. The end product should be a mature and well rounded personality. Our dormitori provide many � p ct of horn life. JOAN C.
