FOREWORD This edition of the Hornet is dedicated to our beloved and esteemed late President. |)r. O. R Reuben, who departed this life on the eve of the fall convocation. Suffering pained bereavement, the College community, notwithstanding, continued the year's work, as he would have had it no less so. And though we sorely missed the warm, outgoing friendliness and interest this elegant, gallant. Christian gentleman-scholar extended as he walked among us each day, all facets of the College community strived to maintain the functions of the College. These tasks were made easier through the capable administration of Dr. Henry I Hardin, a distinguished scholar, able administrator and associate of the late President from his college days, who was appointed Acting President. Exercising high caliber administrative ability and educational leadership, both of which were undergirded by dedication and loyally to the college. Dr. Hardin successfully guided the academic year to a close. The 1970-71 Hornet, therefore, represents the effort to show what Morris College was like during the academic year. As a matter of fact, it includes the bitter as well as the sweet, and if a theme had been designated, it would simply have been I ife at Morris College. 1970-71. l or helping me develop this record. I extend my warm thanks to the staff members who worked diligently to make it a reality. Those members are Perry Smith. Assistant Editor: Minnie Glover. Sylvia Trappier, Ida Dash. Boiscy Sweeney. Edward Mason and Clarence Alston. Thank you for every thing gang. Without further delay we invite you to share with us the experiences of the past year. George W. Hampton.
