SAILUTATOIRY As we of the Class of 58 prepare to leave Morgan, it is natural that we take a backward glance of appraisal of some of the major accom- plishments which the institution has realized. Most easily perceived and evaluated is Morganis physical growth. While the increase in the size and dollar value of Morganis plant is by no means the most important of the College,s achievements, it is significant that over the past four years great emphasis has been placed upon expanding the facilities of the College. We are most impressed, however, by the fact that Morgan is winning greater recognition nationally for the strength of her Faculty and the quality of her graduates. When we arrived on campus in 1954, the physi- cal plant consisted of 16 buildings standing upon 88 acres. Today the land holdings consist of 117 acres, and there are 22 buildings. Among the new structures are Calloway Hall, dedicated October 27, 1954; Woolford Infirmary, which was opened in September of 1955; and Soldiers Armory, com- pleted and dedicated just this spring. Extensive renovating of older buildings has been completed. For example, Soper Library was en- larged and renovated during the academic year 1956-57; and this year the Power Plant was made larger and a new heating unit installed. Paved parking lots have been established, walks laid along bordering streets, campus lights installed, and a modest tree planting program completed. In all, capital improvements costing more than $4,- 000,000 have been made during our four years at Morgan. Proud though we are of Morgan,s buildings and grounds, we are most proud of our Faculty. The 112 member Faculty of 1954 now numbers 150 full-time persons and 30 part-time instructors and lecturers. There are 55 major Faculty members, 4-7 possessing a doctoris degree. Increasingly members of the Faculty are publishing books and scholarly articles, receiving grants to carry on re- search, being elected to head national professional organizations, and being asked to serve on impor- tant state and national committees. Increasingly, too, Morgan graduates are readily gaining admission to the nation,s top graduate and professional schools, often being awarded fellow- ships and assistantships. Morgan graduates are sought for numerous kinds of positions as never before in the history of the College. Our pride in Morgan State College relates to her plant and Faculty. More specifically, it is pride in the total environment and in the new serious concern for the higher educational values that characterizes Morgan today. Such a concern is the foundation for Morganis continued progress . . . the progress to which the Class dedicates the 1958 Promethean.
