This year has seen the passing of our founder and late president, Dr. James E. Shepard; an interim period during which a highly efficient committee administered the affairs of the college, and the ap- pointment of Dr. Shepard ' s successor. Dr. Alfonso Elder. During this historic year fifteen North Carolina College instructors were awarded grants-in-aid by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and three others received fellowships from the General Education Board. Carnegie Grant recipients were Doctors Robert S. Beale, Helen G. Edmonds, W. E. Farrison, Ernst Manasse, J. S. Lee, J. S. Himes, J. Neal Hugh- ley, A. I,. Turner, Percy Young; Mrs. J. W. Harris, Mrs. O. R. Livingstone, Stewart B. p ' ulbright. Earl W. Phillips, and Mrs. Ann McAden Johnson. Fellowships went to Professor Raleigh Morgan, Mrs. Clara Reid and Prof. L. T. Walker. The first days of October witnessed the passing of Dr. Shepard on October 6, his touching funeral and memorial service in B. . Duke .Auditorium October 9 and the appointment of an Interim Committee to administer the affairs of the college on October 13. Members of this committee were Dean A. E. Manley of the undergraduate scTi6oT drirrTs and sciences; Dean Ruth (,. Rush, .lean ,,( wdrnin. and Dr. A. L. tlirner of the . . ( ' . C. Law .School. It was also in October that the North Carolina College male quartet was presented in recital at the Carolina Hotel in Raleigh. The Eagles lost to Mor- gan 19-6 at the Polo Grounds, New York; to Virginia State 19-0, and Virginia LInion University. The Roland Hayes concert was the highlight of October. November got ofif with a bang with home- coming on the first day of the month, Miss Grace Coley reigned as homecoming queen and thousands filled Durham Athletic Park to see the Eagles drop a thrilling game to Tennessee State 21-6. North Carolina College won over J. C. Smith but lost to West Virginia State and Shaw L ' niversity. Con- certs were given by Benno Moiseiwitsch, Marian Anderson, Mary Catherine Goetz, and a speech was made by Dr. Benjamin Mays, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia. December 6 featured the radio broadcast of the annual football classic between the Eagles and A. T. College. The Eagles won 16-0, and there were half- time speeches made by Dean A. E. Manley, President F. D Bluford of A. T., Coach William Bell, A. T. and Herman Riddick, N. C. College football coach. President John V. Turner of the Student Council announced to the student body that the Interim Com- mittee had agreed to e.xtend the Christmas Vacation period through January S. December also marked the beginning of a series of warm-up trips for the basketball team. January, 1948, will be remembered whenever the history of North Carolina College is discussed at any time in the future, for there was on the 20th a meet- ing of the Board of Trustees and Dr. Elder had his dinner interrupted to be told that he had been selected to succeed Dr. Shepard as president of North Caro- lina College. He began his duties the following morning and immediately launched a campaign for a more democratic administration featuring a recog- nition of the unique worth of every individual. In the sports field the North Carolina College track team starred in the Evening Star Track Meet in Washington, D. C. February featured the crowning of .Altamai John- son as Queen of Hearts following the Union Versus N. C. C, basketball game, on February 14. The Kappa .Alpha Psi ' s .Musicale rocked B. N. Duke .Auditorium February 27. Eight brilliant students qualified for Alpha Kappa Mu Honorary Society. The highlight of April was a beginning of a series of student-faculty meetings in which they discussed with Dr. Elder recommendations for liberal changes in the campus code of living. The time was winding up when May rolled in. There were rehearsals for the senior pla ' , concerts by senior music majors, preparations for the junior- senior prom and thousands of preparations for the commencement exercises. The track team started off the month by winning the North Carolina College relays on May 1. James B. James, Jr., became the next president of the Student Council on May 5, and on the same evening Ruth Morrison gave her voice recital. Later during the month there were piano recitals by Pauline Marsh with Doris Jackson and Musa Steele presenting joint recitals. April 17 was athletes day and former Coach Bill Burghardt returned as guest speaker; 65 athletes received their letters for excellency in sports, and a good time was had by all at the dinner and dance which climaxed the affair. Our most historic year ended Monda , May 31, when 226 masters and B. S. degrees were awarded after listening to an address b ' Dr. .Alonzo F. Myers of New York University. IN MEMORIAM Dr. James Edward Shepard Nov. 3, 1875 — Oct. 6, 1947 Founder and first president of North Carolina College at Durham. AS long as there is a North Carolina College and as long as there is educa- tion in the United States, the name of Dr. James Edward Shepard will be spoken in reverent tones, and his memory will be cher- ished, not merely for sentimental reasons but out of utter respect after unbiased appraisals of the many contributions he made through- out his lifetime. The students and staff of North Carolina College were joined by the entire nation in their love and respect for this great man who earned for himself eternal life in the hearts and minds of those whose lives he touched and influenced. Among the most fitting tributes to be paid to Dr. Shepard from B. N. Duke Audi- torium was by a speaker who said, Dr. Shepard was admittedly one of the nation ' s busiest men, but he always kept a part of himself from his formal work and bestowed that part freely upon humanity. DEDICATION Dr Alfonso Elder THIS year ' s Maroon and Gray is dedicated to the president of the college, Dr. Alfonso Elder, who assumed office January 20, 1948, succeeding the late President James E. Shepard, founder of the institution. During the few months Dr. Elder has been at the helm, he has endeared himself to all of us through the actual practice of what he believes about democratic administration and genuine respect for the unique worth of every individual.

The graduate school includes also the Law School, School of Public Health Education and, School of Library Science. 14 THE LAW SCHOOL has for its purpose the training of young men and women for careers of public service in the administration of justice, and to make more proficient those persons engaged in business or other pursuits in which a knowledge of law is a valuable asset. Faculty members shown here are Joseph Sansom, H. Wilson Gray (extreme left); Dean Albert L. Turner, (extreme right) William B. Harris, (beside Dean Turner) and Frank L. Caldwell. Graduate School The graduate school of public health education offers the masters degree in public health. In the top photo the class is participating in a panel discussion and all contributions are being recorded. In the center picture the group is viewing health films, and the lower photo illustrates the selection and evaluation of health education posters. 15 w. GRADUATE SCHOOL Here is proof that the library science school of North Carolina College is steadily and rapidly growing. These are scenes from different phases of the course in library science. These pictures represent ways of bind- ing books, checking on references, using the files, a classroom scene and other phases of library science. 16 The Senior Class NS .... 17 FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE CLASS OF 1948 In September, 1944 the class of 1948 came to North CaroUna College for Negroes. Junior representatives assisted by Mr. Charles Holmes helped us elect class officers, and we soon had a very substantial treasury. Class officers were: Harold T. Epps, president; Allayne C. Turner, vice president; lvian Austin, secretary; Pauline Marsh, treasury. Under the leadership of our president and by the cooperation of the class members the freshman class gave a banquet for the fresh- man fellows leaving to join the armed forces. September, 1946 found us running as sophomores. This year the Campus began to look like a co-ed campus as the fellows returning from the services were gladly welcomed by all. The class dance ended the sophomore year and we left college to spend a restful summer vacation. Later lovely Miss Grace Coley was chosen Miss Homecoming to reign over all home- coming activities. It was October 6, around 6:45 p. m. that we heard the tolling of the bell and we were informed that Dr. Shepard had passed. Mere words cannot express our feelings, for we all realized we had lost a great friend, leader and educator. A memorial ceremony was held for the student body October 9 in B. N. Duke Auditorium initiated by the Student Council, John Turner, president. The question, who would be the next presi- dent was a much-discussed one while we saw an efficient Interim Committee named to serve until the new president would be announced. On January 20, 1948, The Board of Trustees announced that Dr. Alfonso Elder would be our new president. History was being made and right here on North Carolina College-s campus too. Our class president and another law student filed applications for admission to the Universit ' of North Carolina law school where there are no Negro students. The time has come when we must say fare- well to our instructors and friends and to North Carolina College. We must leave the sloping hills, the verdant green and give up our places at this institution of higher learning to other joung men and women desiring to further their education. Meanwhile, we will follow our motto and go ad adpera per aspera — To The Stars Through Difficulties. 18 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Hahold T.
