SERVICE OF TRIUMPH Talmadgc Layman Hill, “Marse”, professor emeritus, coach, athlete, orator, and true Morgan Man, departed this life March 8, 1982. Born May 19, 1902 in East Orange, New Jersey, the second of three children, he was the son of Anslem Artis and Eliza Ann Tynes Hill. He was educated in the public schools of East Orange, New Jersey, “Marse entered Morgan College in 1924 and there began a “Love Affair which never ended. Starring in football and basketball, his talent for leadership emerged in a dynamic way. His coming to Morgan and his performance and expertise began an era of recognition in intercollegiate sport activities. Graduating from Morgan in 1928, Talmadgc Hill embarked upon the study of Law at Columbia University. This program of study was interrupted in 1930 as his services as Assistant to Coach Edward P. Hurt, who was Head of the Athletic Department at Morgan, were sought. Under the presidency of John Oakley Spencer, he commenced his teaching career in the sciences under the revered Milton L. Calloway. In 1932 he married his collegiate sweetheart, Frances Cornelia Berry and to this union were born Talmadgc Layman Hill, Jr. and Freddie Emily Myra Hill. On August 31, 1982 their Golden Anniversary would have been celebrated. The Master of Arts Degree, from Columbia University, in the area of health and physical education, was earned in 1938. From 1930 to 1972, at which time he retired from active coaching. Coach Hill helped mold the Morgan Bears into a gridiron powerhouse. A bond that forged champions, prodigious exploits, and a sterling friendship, became known as “Hurt and Hill . He became head basketball coach in 1947, inspirationally guiding that team for a host of years. Often referred to as the Demosthenes of the coaching staff, because of his oratorical ability. “Marse retired as Professor of Health and Physical Education and from the directorship of the College’s Infirmary and Health Services in 1972 after 42 consecutive years on the Morgan Faculty. Through his unceasing and unselfish contributions to coaching, teaching and athletic administration, “Marsc stood tall in Morgan’s rich traditions of excellence, courage and success. His service to his college, to the field of athletics and to the community has become a legend. He was a pioneer in the area of black college athletic post-season enterprise, and architect of the C.I.A.A. Basketball Tournament. As a black on strategic councils of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, Hill broke barriers and fostered broader black participation. In quest of major college competitiveness and recognition. Hill was a major factor in founding the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (M.E.A.C.), serving as its first president. A “giant” in the tradition of Morgan, a proud, dedicated and honorable man. Coach Hill gained the respect and dignity of all. To him came the Morgan State College Athletic Award in 1933; the Afro-American Honor Roll Citation in 1940; the Morgan Football Coach Award in 1944; the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Achievement Award in 1949; the Pigskin Club of Washington.

Miller, Jr. c Mr ?7y tm EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Morganites, Careful planning has gone into the design of this, your 1983 yearbook, compiled with you the reader in mind. Each stage in the preparation of the yearbook was inspired by the 1983 Student Government Association theme. A Move in the Positive Direction”. With this theme as our guiding light we were able to overcome all obstacles thus producing this labor of love. We now desire to share with you an opportunity to take an adventurous journey through it’s pages and explore, with us, the wondcrous history of Morgan and those events that you fostered as part of Morgan’s history for the year 1983. We have envisioned that you will carefully and continuously read and reread these pages from cover to cover. We further hope that in so doing you will discover the meaning of Promethean and all that it exemplifies. After this discovery, ask yourself if you as a Morganitc fully understand what exemplifies a Promethean character. As you share this book with your friends. 6 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ .

Sincerely, Andrew Billingsley, President 9 MORGAN’S HISTORY Over 115 years ago from 1983, in the basement of Sharp Street Methodist Church, what is now Morgan State University today, was started. It began as the Centenary Biblical Institure to provide education for the emancipat- ed slave. The objective was to prepare young men for Christian ministry. The growth of the school was marked by the increase in curricular offerings (normal and academic subjects especially, were added), the admission of women as students and the establishment of two branches. The first, Princess Anne Academy, was established at Princess Anne, Maryland in 1886. This school is now the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore. The second branch school, established in 1891 at Lynchburg, Virginia was called Virginia Collegiate and Industrial Institute. It was destroyed by fire in 1917. In June 1917, Morgan became located on the site we presently occupy largely as a result of a large sum of money donated by Dr. Lyttleton Morgan, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees. His endowment enabled the school to offer courses on the collegiate level for the first time. The name of the school was changed to Morgan College. On November 20, 1939, another name change occurred when by an Act of the General Assembly. Morgan College officially became a state institution and named Morgan State College. The present name change took place on July 1, 1975, when the Maryland State Legislature granted University status to Morgan State College. As a University, Morgan is governed by a Board of Regents whose members are appointed by the Governor of Maryland. Organizational structure provides for President, four Vice Presidents and the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Management, the School of Education, the School of Urban Studies and Human Development, the School of Continuing Education, and the Graduate School. Morgan has a strong tradition and orientation as a liberal arts college and has students from many ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, including 26 foreign countries. The University is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and by the Department of Education of Maryland. It is also approved by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, by the American Chemical Society, the American Medical Association and the Maryland State Board of Accountancy. The academic year at Morgan is divided into two semesters: Fall and Spring Semesters. Under the Division of Continuing Education. Morgan operates an Evening College and a summer session. THE ALMA MATER “FAIR MORGAN” 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. Chorus We pledge Whatever the future And thus our devotion, And homage we faith Fair Morgan, as------------ And thou livest in memory sweet, We bring thee our laurels whatever they be, And lay them with joy at thy feet. '12 1) 14 15 16 1? MISS MORGAN 1982 MISS PAMELA WHEELESS Dear Seniors. We can see how far we have come. We have grown in more areas in four years than in our whole life. We arc a Blessed generation to have the opportunity to come to an institution that encourages people to be proud of their heritage. Proud to be Black! However, many have not taken advantage of the opportunities available. There arc three things that I desire for us as a race. That is. 1 hope that we have learned to examine ourselves honestly. 1 hope that we have learned the true meaning of self confidence and self esteem. Most of all. I hope that we have learned to endure sufferings. Always remember that life is a decision making process. There arc many choices, however, it is up to the individual to choose yet to be mature enough to justify his decisions. As you read this letter. I want you to look at yourselves closely once more. Ask yourselves arc you ready for the real world, a world of different nationalities, races, cultures, and values. Do you have this confidence that you need to confront these different challenges? By confidence. 1 do not mean the type that will put one on an “ego trip.” nor make one feel he is better” than someone else. It is the type of confidence that will enable a Black person to approach a person from any nationality or economical status and say with a smile, I am Somebody. I have just as much right to be here as you.” Seniors, 1 leave you with this advice Sever give up. Regardless of how the road looks, never give up. You may be one step way from achieving your goal. Be determined as a dove. Farwell seniors. May God richly Bless you in all your endeavors. Try seeking Him. He will make your path alot smoother and your life more worthwhile. I salute you seniors Be little doves! Love, Pamela M.
