money for their construction.
Haven-Warren Hall, the admin
istration building-, was named in
honor of Bishop Gilbert Haven
and Bishop Warren, two Meth
odist Bishops whose interest in
the early development of Clark
was never lacking. Thayer Hall
bears the name of Reverend E.
0. Thayer, the seventh presi
dent, and is the only building on
the present site which still bears
the name of a building from the
old campus.
In the seventy-five years of
its existence, Clark has had sev
enteen presidents. Of these,
three, including the president in
office, were Negroes. Clark has
been fortunate in that its admin
istrators have served and still
serve with an uncanny power of
love and devotion for the insti
tution. The administration of
the college was placed in the
hands of Doctor James Philip
Brawley in 1941 upon the resig
nation of Doctor Matthews
Simpson Davage, for whom the
auditorium is named. He re
signed to become Secretary of
the Methodist Education Board
for Negroes. Prior to Dr. Braw-
ley’s election as president he
served the institution as Dean of
the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences for fifteen years. In the
years since Dr. Brawley’s elec
tion Clark has been strength
ened through its endowment,
faculty, and students. Although
the world is torn asunder in
strife, the future of Clark does
not seem doubtful.

such activities as the Men’s and
Young Women’s Christian Asso
ciations, Vesper and chapel serv
ices, the Philharmonic Society,
college band, all forms of ath
letics, The Literary Symposium,
Business Forum, Debating,
French, Spanish, Mathematics,
Social Science and Dramatic
Clubs, the Alpha Delta Alpha
Scientific Society, N. A. A. C. P.,
fraternities and sororities, the
Mickies and Minnies and the
Tokyo Clubs and several other
organizations I have not men
tioned.
The sources of education are
as varied as the life of man.
Such an education is not gained
in a few years in school; it is a
lifetime enterprise for which
formal schooling gives one a
good running start.
Finally, my friends, in your
endeavors to develop yourselves
spiritually, culturall, morally,
physically and socially, ask for
Divine guidance in the choice of
those activities which will en
able you to live a life embody
ing our motto: “Culture for
Service.”

Congratulations!
Miss Riley
Although it is our loss we,
the members of the Clark Col
lege Family of more than five
hundred and fifty strong, extend
our heartiest congratulations to

leaves after thirteen years of
service as Librarian. After serv
ing as an instructor in Library
Science at Tennessee A. and I.
College, Nashville, Tenn., Miss
Riley was offered the job as Cat
alogue Librarian.
Miss Riley will be missed in
many places, as she was active
in the social and religious life of
this institution. She was the ad
viser to the Junior Division of
the W. S. C. S. and the Library
Club in addition to being a mem
ber of many of the organizations
organized for the promotion of
wholesome student life while on
the college campus. In the 1942
session of the Alpha Kappa Al
pha Sorority, Miss Riley was
elected as Southeastern Region
al Directress. She was also ac
tive in civic and religious activ
ities of Atlanta with church af

done with the utmost efficiency.
