News Of The
Philharmonic
The air was suddenly filled
with music as the members of
the Philharmonic Society began
to lift their voices in song on
the day that the school year of
1962-63 began.
The society lost many beautiful
voices with the departure of the
graduating seniors in June, but
the group has been strengthened
by the freshmen members who
joined veteran members.
Other assets to the society this
year are Miss Barbara Washing
ton, pianist and organist, and Mr.
Bernard Hunter, college organist.
We are certainly happy to wel

So look forward to hearing
great and classic music from the
Philharmonic Society. They shall
be singing your way!

Phi Beta Sigma
Notes Members In
Peace Corps
We, the Brothers of Phi Beta
Sigma fraternity are happy to
announce that the summer va
cation proved itself to be pro
fitable as well as educational for
all of the Brothers of Psi Chap
ter, Clark College.
Two brothers, James Doans,
and Robert Travis are rendering
their services to the Peace Corps
in Ethiopia. Bro. Mark Sullivan
is teaching. Along with him is
Bro. J. Strozier. Bro. Smith was
inducted into The United States
Army School for men. Bros.
Prince Martin and Russell Wil
lingham spent their summer in
summer school. Bro. Willingham
was off to Quebec, Canada to
study at Laval University. He
Said, “By mingling with the
people of Quebec and living with
them in their homes, “I learned
more French in seven weeks
than I did during my first year
of college.” He hopes to complete
his studies for his masters de
gree at Laval, also.
There are only two Sigmas on
campus at present, however, one
Sigma man can always be no
ticed in a crowd because he
exemplifies Brotherhood, Frater
nity, and Intellect.
Warm Reception Given
Clark’s Freshmen
On September 9, 1962 Clark
College warmly received the new
members of her family. They all
had one common opinion — so
this is college!
This year the members of the
Personnel Department introduc
ed a new program which en
abled the freshmen to make a
beautiful transition from high
school to college. This included
lectures by members of various
departments and a period for
questions by the freshmen.
Dr. Wiley S. Bolden, Chairman
of the Department of Education
and Psycohology; Dr. A. A.
Spriggs, Chairman of the Depart
ment of Chemistry; and Dr.
Esther M. Jackson, Chairman of
the Department of Speech and
Drama were the lecturers for the
week.
It was pleasing to know that
the students were especially in
terested in the Religious activ
ities of the college. During the
evaluation meeting, most or all
of them commented on the mid
week prayer services and the
devotional breakfast.
In view of the fact that “All
work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy,” we, the Freshmen
Guides, provided the freshmen
with a minimum amount of so
cial activities which included a
dance and the annual freshman
picnic.
The annual Induction Services
ended the week. As usual it was
a very beautiful service.

THIRTY-FIVE STUDENTS ATTENDED SGA RETREAT
George Edgecomb presided over iwo-day annual planning session.
college owes it to its students
to provide them with the neces
sary training in this respect.”
The small college might be
come a center for training in the
service vocations, he said, em
phasizing the education of stu
dents planning careers in medi
cine, social work, the Christian
ministry and other areas.
“The small Negro college in
the South has served its basic
function of providing education
under duress,” he continued
“now it has as its reason for
existence the providing of a type
of education not available else
where.” This, he explained is a
type of education to reduce the
problems of adjustment in a so
ciety wherein growing automa
tion tends to distort perspective
and change values.
“The small, private college
cannot compete with larger uni
versities,” he said, they have not
the students, faculties or prestige
of these institutions and cannot
hope to receive from the federal
government or from industry any
significant financial support.” In
stead, it should involve itself
more in developing those pro
grams in the humanities, social
science and related areas which
do not require tremendous finan
cial resources. “It should not,”
he advised, “place any de-em
phasis on present science teach
ing, however, because this is
necessary in the training of
mind.
