Special Programs at Morgan | f In ihc photograph above, Mr. J. Walter Fisher, Assistant Pro- fessor of History, confers with Dr. Roger K. Williams, who took leave of absence this year from his position as Professor of Pay- chology and Head of the Department to direct the Independent Study Program, financed by a $27,000 grant from the Ford Founda- tion's Fund for the Advancement of Education. The experimental program was designed to increase and make more effective the amount of independent study done by students, with the hope of thereby conserving faculty time. The photograph below is of the administrators, faculty, and students of Morgan's First Summer Institute for High School Teachers of Science, June 24—August 16, 1957, made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation and directed by Dr. Thomas P. Fraser.

Morganite William Proctor is the eloquent advocate of the return to the virtues of the “Old Morgan.” Mr. Carter is the “Grand Young Man” of Morgan. He antedates the College, with reference to its present location, arid in point of service is its oldest employee. Mr. Carter was horn just about 75 yards south of where the Old Power Plant was later to lie constructed. Graduated from Morgan in 1916, Mr. Carter was immediately employed by the Col- lege, and he has been here ever since. When Morgan moved in September of 1918 from downtown Baltimore to today’s site, Mr. Carter, who was then the staff, returned to the place of his birth. 22
