The invocation was given by theReverend Robert E. Lee, D.D., min¬ister. Lutheran Church of the Re¬

deemer. and the prayer and bene¬diction by Dr. Lafayette Harris,Ph.D.. D.D.. Bishop of the MethodistC h u r e h. The Atlanta-Morehouse-

Spelman Chorus, under the directionof Dr. Willis L. James rendered two

songs by Mendelssohn.Dr. Henry Van Dusen, President

of Lnion Theological Seminary, NewYork City, was the speaker at thejoint Atlanta University, MorehouseCollege and Spelman College Bacca¬laureate service on the precedingday. The noted religious spokesman,who was recently honored as one ofTime Magazine cover leaders, is oneof the most distinguished world au¬thorities on secular affairs.

Dr. Van Dusen made an impas¬sioned plea for mature religion tohold a place in each graduate’s life.

(He was addressing himself specifi¬cally to the graduates, but addedthat he had no objection to alumni,faculty, parents and friends eaves¬

dropping.) He defined mature reli¬gion as '‘a religious dedication togoals and faith, a dedication toachieve those goals which are soundand which are achievable, but whichare never completely achieved; afaith in truth, that truth which one

knows to be true but which is never

wholly proven.” However, the speak¬er warned that “this dedication to

goals and faith requires patience,optimism, hope, steadfastness andcourage.”

Noting the changing world tidesin human rights, Dr. Van Dusen de¬plored the passive and negative reli¬gion, which he said should be “in¬creasingly social and imprudent.

Dr. Clement. President, AtlantaUniversity, w'ho introduced Dr. Van

Dusen. told the audience that thefirst joint baccalaureate service washeld in Friendship Baptist Churchin 1929 and that the three institu¬

tions had cooperated annually sincethat time.

Sisters Chapel was packed to ca¬

pacity for the baccalaureate serviceand the crowd spilled over into thecampus. Dr. Benjamin E. Mays,President. Morehouse College, readthe scripture, the Reverend AllisonF.

ATLANTA-MOREHOUSE-SPELMAN PLAYERS

I lie annual Spring musical. “KissMe, Kate.’ was presented by the At-lanta-Morehouse-Spelman Players onMarch 14, 15, and 16. Dr. BaldwinW. Burroughs directed and Dr. J.Preston Cochran served as choreog¬rapher. Albert Perkins w7as in chargeof the music.

Cole Porter’s musical, looselybased on Shakespeare’s “Taming ofthe Shrew, affords wonderful op¬portunities for acting, singing anddancing. The Players grasped everyopportunity — “Kiss Me, Kate,”provided an evening of pure delight.Alberta Foster literally starred in therole of Kate and Katherine, and Al¬bert Perkins gave her full supportin the leading male role. The sup¬porting cast, the singing and danc¬ing of the chorus, and the comedyprovided by the two “thugs” wereexcellent. In fact, “Kiss Me, Kate,”maintained, if not surpassed, theusual high standards of A-M-S mu¬

sicals.

The last production of the seasonwas Jean Anouilh’s adaptation ofSophocles’ timeless classic, “An¬tigone,” on May 9, 10, and 11. Dr.Cochran directed, the stage was man¬

aged by David Fraction, B. VanWilliams designed the costumes, andDr. Burroughs supervised the light¬ing.

Atlanta-Morehouse-Spelman Players in "Kiss Me, Kate."

The modern version of the ancient

Greek tragedy was written and pro¬duced in Paris in 1943, during theGerman occupation of that city. b\Jean Anouilh, one of France's most

prolific and outstanding contem¬porary playwrights. Later, LewisGalantiere adapted Anouilh's versionfor an English speaking audience,and his adaptation was first pro¬duced on Broadwav in 1946. In thetitle role, Andrea Perry Jackson por¬

PRESIDENT CLEMENT

VISITS ALUMNIASSOCIATION CHAPTERS

Dr. Rufus E. Clement, President,Atlanta University, has been visitingalumni associations around the coun¬

try this year in an effort to:

1 ) bring the alumni up-to-date onrecent developments at the Uni¬versity

2) encourage the activities of thealumni associations

3) strengthen the ties between theUniversity and its graduates and

1) keep the alumni informed aboutplans and progress for the Cen¬tennial Celebration in 1965.

In December, Dr. Clement visit¬ed Louisville, Kentucky, where MissF. Louise Mathews made the ar¬

rangements for his visit. Dr. Ger¬trude R. Rivers and Mrs. Cernoria

M. Johnson contacted alumni in the

Washington, D. C. area, preparatoryto Dr. Clement s visit to that city inJanuary. Dr. Charles Stewart andMr. John Clair were responsible forthe arrangements in Detroit, Michi¬gan, on March 2, and on March 3,Mrs. Jesse Trippe arranged the meet¬

ings in Chicago, Illinois. On May 19,during Dr. Clement’s visit to NewYork City, Mr. Albert A. Edwardscontacted Atlanta Universitv gradu¬ates in that area.

Dr. Clement plans to make addi¬tional trips to as many cities as pos¬

sible in the near future, in the hopethat his visits and what he has to

say will stimulate graduates to eitherorganize or revitalize chapters of theNational Alumni Association.

THE BUILDING OF

STRONG ALUMNI

ASSOCIATIONS

Dr. Aaron Brown, class of 1933,Educational Projects Direct o r.

Phelps-Stokes Fund, has listed some

suggestions for Alumni attitudes andresponses, as follows:

1. Alumni should deeinphasize thedates which they attended and/orgraduated from Atlanta I niversit\and remove any other considera¬tions w hich divide them.

2. Alumni should set in motion a

working Association by organizingthemselves into metropolitan groupsin the larger cities.

3. Alumni should decide the best

ways by which they may becomemore aware, individually, of the ex¬cellent work which is currently be¬ing done at Atlanta University.

4. Alumni should place the Uni¬versity in their schedule of giving.

5. Alumni Associations should

adopt some plan by which the Uni¬versity can keep its Alumni recordsup to date and correct. (This is es¬

pecially true with women who mar¬

ry, and other persons who move andfail to notify the University). Noti¬fications of changes in records shouldbe the responsibility of the individ¬ual and not of the Universitv.

6. Alumni should place the Uni¬versity in contact with able students,i.e. persons who are academically, aswell as financially, able to attend

the institution.

Dr. Brown feels that if these sug¬

gestions are followed, it will he pos¬sible to build better and strongerAlumni Associations.

34 Atlanta University Bulletin

AS A RESPONSIBLE ALUMNUS SUPPORT UNCF

It is the quality of the alumni thatdetermines the reputation of a col¬lege.

A college exists to educate the manand prepare him for useful partici¬pation in society. If he fails, his col¬lege feels the failure. If he succeeds,his college reaps its share of glory.

History will record this period ofAmerican growth as a time of tre¬mendous forward strides by Negrocitizens. Access to high-quality high¬er education has been opening thedoor. Certainly, many of the alumniof the United Negro College Fund’smember institutions have met theneed for responsible leadership thataccompanies a break-through.

To assume continuing responsibil¬ity throughout the post-college ca¬reer distinguishes true leadershipfrom a momentary flush of success.The significant strides toward realopportunities in industry and gov¬ernment — formerly inaccessible —

mark only the beginning. Many moreNegroes must be prepared to graspthese opportunities; too few are col¬lege-educated. The demand for qual¬ified people far exceed the supply.

It is up to you — and your college —

to enlarge upon yesterday’s terrificspadework. In the last few years,UNCF colleges and universities haveoften earned acclaim for the miraclesthey perform. For instance, this yearUNCF graduates are enrolled foradvanced work in 70 top-ranking

July, 1963

graduate schools of the nation’sleading universities. Because of poorearly schooling, many of these stu¬dents would not have been acceptedas freshmen in the undergraduatecolleges of these same universities.

If We Won’t - Who Will?

If UNCF colleges do not work withtheir freshmen to overcome theiracademic lags —what other collegeswill?

This is the 20th consecutive yearthat the United Negro College Fundhas appealed to the conscience of allAmericans on behalf of its memberinstitutions. Money raised in the an¬nual UNCF campaigns has liftedthem out of the struggle for survivalinto the quest for academic excel¬lence. Largely because of the helpthe general public has given over theyears, all UNCF colleges are nowaccredited. They are members oftheir official education associations,subject to the same stringent stand¬ards all other accredited colleges intheir geographical regions mustmeet.

As fine, independent institutions,searching out talented Negro youthand developing them into construc¬tive leaders, the UNCF colleges aremaking a significant contribution tothe nation. That is why you, as a re¬sponsible alumnus, are asked to giveyour time, your effort and your sup¬port to the United Negro CollegeFund’s 1963 appeal.
