Continued on page 3 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. .
