DR. LUNS C. RICHARDSON Dr. Luns C. Richardson A. B., M. A., Ped. D., L.H.D. The Reverend Doctor Luns C. Richardson is a native of Hartsville, South Carolina and graduated as Valedictorian of Butler High School of that city. He entered the ministry at the early age of eighteen years, under the leadership and guidance of the late Dr. H.H. Butler, prominent educator and Baptist leader, and was given further inspiration and guidance by Dr. M. S. Gordon, Sr. Doctor Richardson graduated Magna Cum Laude from Benedict College in 1949 with the A.B. Degree and from Columbia University in 1958 with the M. A. Degree in Higher Educational Administration. He has studied further at South Carolina State College, Rutgers University, and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. He has been awarded the Honorary Doctor of Pedagogy Degree by Benedict College and the Doctor of Humane Letters by Morris College. He served as Dean of Men and Chaplain at the Denmark Technical Education Center from 1949-1964. From 1964-1966 he served as principal of St. Helena High School, Frogmore, South Carolina; and from 1966-1967 as principal of Wilson Senior High School, Florence, South Carolina. He served in various administrative capacities at Benedict College from 1967-1973-the last sixteen months as Acting President. On July 1, 1973 he became Vice President of Voorhees College and served until July 1, 1974, when he became the ninth President of Morris College, Sumter, South Carolina. He has served as pastor of Thankful Baptist Church, Bamberg, South Carolina, since 1958, and is a strong supporter of local, state and national Baptist conventions. Among the many honors and recognitions received by Dr. Richardson are listings in Outstanding Educator of America, Personalities of the South, and Outstanding Young Black Americans. In March 1974 Thankful Baptist Church honored him by naming its educational building for him and placing his portrait there. In 1974, Dr. Richardson was selected for inclusion in the Dictionary of International Biography, Volume XI, 1974-1975. On January 24, 1975 President Richardson was initiated into the University of South Carolina Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, national men's education fraternity, as one making a viable contribution to education. Dr. Richardson came to Morris College because he saw a lot of potential for growth and development. He feels that he can play a substantial part in that growth and development. Dr. Richardson has an open door policy to staff, faculty, and students. His main goal is accrediation by the Southern Association of Schools and College by 1976. Dr. Richardson brings with him a zeal to put Morris College at the top of the list in America's Small Colleges. We, the Senior Class of 1974-75, say to Dr. Luns C. Richardson, President of Morris College, 'Thrust Forward', for where you lead we shall follow. 5 This edition of the Hornet we proudly dedicate to our new President.
