Morehouse, A.U. in Discord
Over Horkness Holl
The third floor has the best
and most spacious offices in
the entire building. “We can’t
vacate these offices, so the
matter will have to be solved in
the next trustee board meeting
in April.”
Until that time, the offices in
Harkness Hall cannot be
vacated so that the Medical
School may take over. The
Medical School is scheduled to

Harkness Hall
BY CHARLES E. MAPSON
Editor-in-Chief
Morehouse College’s ad
ministrative offices in
Harkness Hall are involved in
a virtual stalemate with
Atlanta University and will
not move to Gloster Hall until
May.
Dr. Hugh M. Gloster,
President of Morehouse, said
in a recent interview, “Dr.
Cleveland
President
University, had proposed that
Morehouse keep the offices on
the first and second floors of
Harkness Hall but must
vacate the third floor.”
Morehouse Needs
New Post Office
BY ROY L. HAMILTON
Associate Editor
With the completion of Hugh
M. Gloster Hall, more space
has been provided for those of
fices that were overcrowded in
the past; however, the College
Post Office of Morehouse is not
among those offices.
In a recent interview with
Mrs. Flora Lamar, Post Mis
tress of Morehouse, the need
for a larger working area was
clearly stressed. The present
conditions of the College Post
Office do not allow enough
room for the sorting of mail
and to handling packages
shipped by UPS. Mrs. Lamar
also stressed the need for more
student and faculty mailboxes.
The present location of the
College Post Office is tem
porary. It was first located in
the Atlanta University Post
Office, then it moved to the
lounge of Graves Hall and
then since August 1966 to the
basement of Sale Hall.
Because of the fact that Mrs.
Lamar is the only full-time em
ployee that works in the
College Post Office it is very
difficult for her to run the Post
Office as efficiently as it
should be. With the lack of full
time help, the service in the
Post Office is sometimes slow
and nerve-racking. Mrs.
Lamar is sometimes faced
with hazardous and em
barrassing situations because
of student dissatisfaction on
how the Post Office is run.
The Medical School will take
over the offices vacated by the
Morehouse administration in
Sale Hall. The basement of
Sale Hall will be turned into a
morgue for the Medical School
and will be located across from
the College Post Office. Now
how many students and
faculty members will be will
ing to dare venture to the Post
Office with the installation of
this morgue? “If there is
anything more needed bv the
family of Morehouse College, a
permanent College Post Office
is needed most,” said Mrs.
Lamar.
Harkness Hall.
On April 1, 1929 Atlanta
University, Morehouse and
Spelman entered a contract of
affiliation whereby it was
provided that Atlanta
University do all the graduate
and professional work while
Morehouse and Spelman
would do the undergraduate
work.
Two years later, on October
27, the American Baptist
Home Mission Society, which
then operated Morehouse,
conveyed the front campus of
Morehouse that included the
land along Chestnut Street
between Fair and Greensferry,
a distance of 375 feet long and
258.4 feet wide to Atlanta
University.

Small mailboxes and large volume of mail add to the
overcrowded conditions of the Morehouse mailroom.
Large numbers of packages and the absence of work and
storage space further provides need for a new post office.
