ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This year ' s edition of the eagle is being dedicated to Dr. Helen G. Edmonds on behalf of her numerous personal and university affiliated accomplishments. Some of these accomplishments include the position of Dean of the Graduate School (19641971), and Professor Emeritus of North Carolina Central University (1971 -1977). Dr. Edmonds has been a motivational and inspirational leader to students and administration alike for a number of years and continues to be active in University related affairs. I am sure I speak for the entire university community by stating that her undying interest in the future growth of the student body, not only in sheer numbers, but in the quality attained by the students are greatly appreciated by all par- ties concerned. According to Dr. Edmonds, The Eagle is no ordinary! So, we as students must strive to fulfill the ideals of our highly distinguished alumna. Dr. Helen G. Ed- monds.

When he was 35 years of age, he founded the institution; for the remaining 37 years of his life he carried its respon- sibility, directed its course, secured the funds for its operation and extension, and molded its course. Dr. James E. Shepard was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, November 3, 1875 to Reverend Augustus Shepard and the former Hattie Whitted. His father, a Bap- tist minister served as pastor of the White Rock Baptist Church of Durham. Being of a religious family background, James Shepard was raised to love Jesus. He was baptized at an early age. He was educated at Shaw University, one of the oldest Black Institutions In the country, which had been founded in the early wave of interest in Black education by Major Tupper. James E. Shepard was trained as a pharmacist and opened the first Black drug store in Durham. Later, he became a licensed preacher, in order to present the needs of his school from the pulpits of his brethem. In his druggist days, he became interested in politics and was appointed deputy collector of internal revenue, with offices in Raleigh. He was considering the campaign of Congress as successor to Representative Cheatham, last black to represent North Carolina in the national legislature (at that time), when he accepted appointment int to a post in the office of the Register of Deeds of Washington, D.C.
