Alumnus Thompson
Crogman Lecturer
Sociologist Daniel C. Thomp
son, Clark College alumnus and
chairman of the Social Science
Department at Dillard Univer
sity, was the speaker on May 5
when Clark College presented
the 1959 lecture in honor of the
late Dr. William H. Crogman,
former Clark president.
Using as his subject “To
Whom the Future Belongs,” Dr.
Thompson urged his student au
dience to look -into the future as
they prepare for years ahead
and be guided by two important
patterns—“a broadening of the
concept of democracy and an
unquenchable desire for freedom
on the part of millions who have
known slavery, oppression and
exploitation for centuries.
Citing numerous parallels be
tween: Dr. Crogman’s life and
his own advice to youth today,
the Clark alumnus outlined three
prerequisites for success: faith
in self to overcome obstacles,
preparedness to make significant
contributions to the age, and
willingness to sacrifice in order
to attain desired goals. .
