He served for sixteen years as a princi- pal and teacher of vocational agriculture in the high schools of Mississippi. In 1947, he was called back to Alcorn as in- structor in agronomy and manager of the college farm. In 1951, he was asked to be- come head of The Utica Institute. In his short stay at that institution. he has in- creased the enrollment from 300 to near- ly 600, the employees from 16 to 47, and the physical plant to about S700,000. He has paved the streets. built a football field, and installed modern lights on the campus. Within five years after he be- came head of The Utica Institute, it was fully accredited by the Southern Asso- riation of Colleges a nd Secondary Schools.

Negro History Is Ubserved At Utica Institute Negro History Week was observed by Tiapel programs, classroom discussions, nhl- bulletin board displays. Dr. John Eubank, professor of social 1-ience at Jackson State College, de- ivered a very informative and inspiring message concerning the Negro in this present society. The dramatic club pre- sented a pageant that symbolized the Negro's heritage. The tenth grade English classes listen- ed to various speakers during the week who spoke on the Negro's contribution in their fields of concentration. The speakers were: Messrs. Robert Anthony, Dennis Sweet, Arthur Kinnard, Walter Tilles, James Bolden, Henry Purnell, and Moses Howard.
