If this is your first year at Morehouse, welcome. You have come
to continue a tradition.
Throughout the 110 year history of this institution, it has
attempted to produce leaders from among our race hy supplying
her students with the means of becoming great. In no way does
Morehouse make you great. Morehouse will be to you what you
are yourself. It acts as a crucible to separate those with potential
greatness, from those who really don’t care.
Morehouse does have problems as do all colleges in the United
States today, but we feel that these problems will soon fade away
from existence with a cohorted effort involving the ad
ministration, faculty, students and alumni. Until this happens,
though, it must be remembered that the primary goal of the
student is to learn.
That cannot be done by spending more time at Spelman than
at Morehouse. Nor can it be done by not going there at all.
There are indeed many things that you must learn about
Morehouse as well as the world. The 1977-78 Maroon Tiger in
extending this formal welcome to you, also pledges to help you
through this experience at Morehouse. If you use it wisely, the
Morehouse experience will be one of the most rewarding
experiences of your life.
Welcome, Morehouse Men, to an institution of tradition but
also one of progress. Always stand up for your rights as students
and as men. When you are in the right, you will be supported. Get
the most that you possibly can. I am reminded of a formula for
success that has been repeated at countless banquets by an in
numerable amount of toastmasters.
Get all you can, Can all you get, and then get off your can and
use it. Again, I say welcome.

Perspective Hails
Maroon Tiger
by Arlin Meadows
The class of 1981 is here and
it is the obligation of every
upperclassmen to set a
desirable example for students
in the Freshman class. This
means presenting ourselves (If
we have not in the past) as
serious minded college
students with a purpose here at
Morehouse.
We are aware of many good
and had things here' at
Morehouse which cause us
often to become hostile
towards our fellow students
and this in return always has a
chain reactionary affect on
others.
Freshman students are at an
impressionable stage in the
beginning when they first
arrive. Before you find yourself,
explaining your opinion of
Morehouse .as an
upperclassman to freshman,
remember despite her faults
Morehouse has many good
points. First year students
should know the truth and
what to expect while attending
Morehouse but we should be
objective. It is very easy to in
fluence freshman students
positively or negatively
concerning Morehouse. Why
not be neutral and give a
freshman a fair opportunity to
draw his own conclusion?
The Maroon Tiger heartily
welcomes advertising from
Morehouse Students as well as
from local businesses. For
more information contact the
Maroon Tiger in the SGA
Building.
“The 1976-77 Morehouse
Maroon Tiger flies high in a
class all alone,” reads an
article in the April 29, 1977
edition of the Perspective.
The Perspective, which is
published four times a
semester by the students
enrolled in the newspaper
production class of the Mass
Communications Department
of Clark College, praised the
1976-77 Maroon Tiger and its
1976-77 Editor-in-Chief, Greg
Huskisson, for out doing all
other papers in the Atlanta
University Center for its
coverage of new and com
munity affairs as well as the
frequency of publication.
The 1976-77 Spelman
Spotlight was also noted for
its achievement in producing a
better paper than Clark’s
Panther and Morris Brown’s
Wolverine.
The Morehouse College Maroon Tiger is published
tri-weekly by the students of Morehouse College
during the regular school year.
