ADAMS, T5, DELIVERS FOUNDER’S DAY ADDRESS “Civilization today, as in the past, rests on four pillars— art, science, law and religion—and no social order may long endure nor perpetuate itself without these funda- mentals,” Alumnus James B. Adams, pastor of the Con cord Baptist Church, of Brooklyn, New York, declared in his address at the 67th anniversary of the founding of Morehouse College. A large gathering of students, alumni and friends of the college heard the inspiring Rev, James B. Adams, T5 address delivered by Dr. Adams, who graduated from Morehouse College in 1915. “No one, or two, or three of these pillars can support or perpetuate a civilization,” he declared. “If all are not considered, then the pillars will not endure, but the order will topple over. We cannot, and must not, discredit any one of them, for salvation can be had only by a full knowledge and measure of the whole.” From history, Reverend Mr. Adams drew the examples of Greece, which developed its arts and sciences only to discover that its culture could not save it from vice; and of Rome, which set the pattern for law and government but discovered that law alone could not ward off destruc tion. Of America he said: “No period in American history has been so flourishing as that following the World War. And yet in that period our national government wit nessed more corruption than in its entire history. Our city governments became a stench in civic nostrils. New York City buiit schools, unequalled in history in the money invested in them, at a time when the operation of city affairs was most corrupt. Why? “Because we emphasized achievements for arts and science and left off due regards for law and religion. Our wild rush to reap fruits of our experiment and investment was untempered or unseasoned with the ethical theories of law and religion.” It is the business of the Christian college to secure, protect, and safeguard these pillars, Mr. Adams asserted. Morehouse College, he said, has done much to stabilize these eternal values by training and sending out men who “have made a thousand deserts blossom like the rose.” Negroes, he declared, have been granted a share in the fine arts, have participated in the sciences, and en joyed to some degree the beauty and glory of a pros perous age, but they have been rigorously denied their share in the field of economics. As long as this condition exists, he said, “we shall remain in the desert.” Happy reminiscences and timely remarks from Presi dent Archer, President Hope of Atlanta University, and from Mr. Maynard H. Jackson, Alumni and Endowment Secretary, added to the already enthusiastic “Morehouse Spirit” that prevailed throughout the Founder’s Day celebration. L. R. Bailey delivered an oration in behalf of the student body. Following the exercises Sunday, February 18, a recep tion was held in honor of the speaker and other visitors in the President’s residence. The celebration of Founder’s Day was continued when the alumni gathered for their annual banquet Monday evening, February 19. In the afternoon a basketball game between the alumni and seniors was staged in the college gymnasium. MAJORITY OF ’33 GRADUATES OF MOREHOUSE ARE EMPLOYED Three out of every four men in the last graduating class of Morehouse College are known to be either gain fully employed or to be engaged in graduate work, ac cording to a survey made of the whereabouts of the members of the 1933 class of the college. Of the 32 men who completed their college work last June, the survey showed that ten are engaged in teaching, seven are in recognized graduate schools working for ad vanced degrees, and three are in business. Two graduates are working as laborers. One is employed in relief work, one is a librarian, and one is in newspaper work. Seven of the recent graduates are either unemployed at present, or not known to have located jobs for them selves as yet. “Considering the vast amount of unemployment throughout the country, and the difficulty that trained and experienced men have in getting and holding posi tions, I think the record of the Morehouse graduates of 1933 is very encouraging,” President Archer said in making public these findings. Five of the men who are teaching hold positions in
