IN MEMORIAM
Dr. Charles Dubois Hubert
This tribute can but be meager when
compared with the work of the man it
eulogizes, but it is with a sense of priv
ilege and with sincere affection and deep
appreciation that we, the class of 1944,
pay honor in this last issue of the
Campus Mirror to the memory of Dr.
Charles DuBois Hubert, who departed
from us January 26, 1944.
Dr. Hubert was graduated from More
house Academy in 1905 and from the
College in 1909. In fulfilling his great
desire to become a minister, he studied
at Rochester Theological Seminary in
New York, was a member of the class of
1912, and continued his education at the
University of Chicago.
While in Rochester he was the pastor
of a church from 1914 to 1916. In At
lanta he was the pastor of Providence
Baptist Church for the fifteen years up
to the time of his death.
Dr. Hubert may well be thought of as
the “students’ friend.” Throughout his
life he was one from whom a helping
hand materially as well as spiritually
could always he received. Anywhere and
everywhere he was able to give inspira
tion to and to inject courage into young
people not only by his teachings but
also by his actions. He was acting presi
dent of Morehouse College for three
years, director of the school of religion
for eighteen years, and teacher at More
house College for twenty-eight years.
During this time all of the many students
that came under his tutelage received
something intangible, something that be
came a part of them to be expressed in
living and performing on a higher plane.
Mere words will never adequately ex
press our true respect and admiration
for him nor the similar sentiments of
hundreds of others who knew him. We
remember him as a minister, a teacher,
a respected citizen, but most of all, as
a valued friend. His memory will live
with us forever.
