TROY S THOUGHTS ON HERITAGE AS IT RELATES TO TOMORROWS DREAM Heritage is what we have as a gift from the dreamers of past generations. Heritage is generally defined as being something transmitted by or acquired from a predecessor; a legacy. Upon graduation many of you will become an intricate part of this college’s heritage. Our heritage begain in 1908, when the Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina established Morris College for the Christian and in tellectual training of Negro Youth. Our heritage was extended in 1911. a year in which the certification of incorporation was granted. Our heritage reached another milestone in 1915 when the Bachelor of Arts degree was conferred on the first two graduates of this newly established institution of higher education. Our heritage reached its most important peak in 1979 when Morris College received full accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Fellow students, we are a special breed. Today, we have opportunities in education that our forefathers, and in some instances our mothers and fathers, were unable to experience. Therefore, we must remember, that education is our main weapon against inequality of opportunity and oppression. The capacity to think can never be seized or stolen. 27
