the election was too close for
the amount of competition in
volved.
Mr. John Wyatt quoted Saul
Adinsky by saying “There are
two kinds of power, power that

Future Business Leaders of America — Phi Beta ambda, national
organization for business students, was held at the Dinkier Plaza
Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia on April 21-22, 1967. This meeting
was attended by some 900 representatives of high schools and
colleges from across the state.
Presently, only two Negro
colleges are affiliated. These are
the Albany State College chap
ter in Albany, Georgia and the
Iota Mu chapter—Clark Col
lege in Atlanta. The Clark Col
lege chapter was the only Negro
college to send representatives
to the convention.
Among the many events held
were (1) Best Chapter Exhibit
(2) Parliamentary Procedure
Contest (3) All-State Spelling
Relay (4) Vocabulary Relay
(5) College Poster Exhibit and
(6) an Extemporaneous Public
Speaking Contest.
Although Clark participated

the All-State Spelling Relay,
Clark Observes
Crogman Day
Clark College observed Crog
man Day on Thursday (May 4)
in honor of William H. Crog
man, the first Negro President
of the college.
The principal event of the
observance was the annual Crog
man lecture. This year’s speak
er was Dr. Marion M. Curry,
chairman of the education de
partment at Huston-Tillotson
College, Austin, Texas. He gave
the Crogman lecture at 11 a.m.
in Davage Auditorium on the
campus. The topic of his address
was “Moments of Truth: Hints
to Their Resolution.” In the
afternoon seminar, Dr. Curry
spoke on the topic, “Teaching
Education in the Profession of
Teaching.” A question and dis
cussion period followed.
Dr. Curry is a 1938 graduate
of Clark. From 1947 to 1951
he was athletic director and
head coach at the college. He
also has been a teacher and
coach at David T. Howard High
School here.
Crogman Day has been ob
served at Clark since 1924 and
the Crogman lecture was estab
lished in 1958. President Crog
man, a native of St. Martin in
the British West Indies, was
born in 1841. After an adven
turous career as a seaman, he
decided to secure an education.
He enrolled at Pierce Academy
in Massachusetts and later stud
ied at Atlanta University. He
joined the Clark faculty as pro
fessor of Greek and Latin in
1876, the same year that Atlanta
University awarded him the
master of arts degree. He served
as Clark’s eleventh president
from 1903 to 1910. He was the
first Negro to head the college.
College Poster Exhibit, and the
Extemporaneous Public Speak
ing contest—the representatives
in two of the contests won
second places. Miss Ivy Sims, a
senior majoring in Business Ad
ministration and minoring in
Economics was second place
winer in the college poster con
test. The title of her poster was
“The Business Intern Program
Goes Hand in Hand With Busi
ness.” Mr. James Mays, a
sophomore majoring in Business
Administration won second
place in the extemporaneous
speaking contest. The title of
Mr. Mays’ speech was “The
Role of Government in Educa
tion Today.”
All of the aforementioned
events were held on Friday,
April 21. A banquet was held
Friday night at which the Hon
orable Porter Carswell of
Waynesboro, Georgia was the
guest speaker. The banquet was
climaxed by the presentation of
numerous awards, at which
time Miss Sims and Mr. Mays
were cited. Other awards pre
sented were the Sears-Roebuck
Foundation Awards, Southern
Bell Awards, Callaway Gardens
Awards, and the Sperry-Hutch-
inson Award. The meeting
ended the following Saturday
morning with the installation of
officers for 1967-68.
Although this is the first year
that Clark has been affiliated
with Phi- Beta Lambda, all of
the members of the organization
have been inspired to work even
harder in improving the business
program. By so doing, at next
year’s convention, the members
hope to enter more of the con
tests and possibly run candi
dates for the various offices.
Congratulations should go out
to this department for a job that
is being well done.
