Eighty Six Years Celebrated Woodrow Wilson Fellows Announced by Patricia Roberts Two Spelman seniors who were Merrill Scholars last year have received the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship which finances their graduate work at any institution they wish to attend. These two young women are Bernice Dowdy and Elizabeth Jordan. Bernice Dowdy, a native of Atlanta and a graduate of Booker T. Washington High School, studied at the University of Besancon in France last year. Bernice plans to attend In diana University in Bloomington, Indiana, where she will study French literature. “I feel very blessed and just a bit overwhelmed because I wasn’t expecting such an honor, but I’m happy to have it since it enables me to go to graduate school without putting if off for a while,” Bernice says. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam B. Dowdy, and her sister, Hope, were surprised, happy and proud of Bernice’s achievement. Bernice thinks that after graduate school she will teach French on the college level and she hopes to instill in her students the same love and appreciation for French that she has developed. Elizabeth Jordan is a native of Houston, Texas. She spent her year abroad studying in Freiburg, West Germany. She in tends to continue her education here in Atlanta by attending Emory University where she will study mathematics. She says in reference to the award, “I was very surprised and very honored,” to obtain the fellowship. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil O. Jordan, and her sister, Marcelite (a 1964 graduate of Spelman) were proud of Elizabeth for winning the fellowship. Elizabeth thinks that after graduate school she will either become a college teacher or work in the field of research or industry. The Spelman student body is proud of Bernice and Eliza beth who have done much to inspire their sisters at Spelman. We hope they will have continued success in all their en deavors. WOODROW WILSON FELLOWS Above: Bernice Dowdy. Below: Elizabeth Jordan Founders Day by Yvette Savoir The climax of the Founders Day activities was the April 11th Anniversary Service with the long procession of plat form guests, faculty, and sen iors in academic regalia, and juniors, sophomores, and freshmen in white dresses. The main speaker, Rev. Dr. G. Wayne Glick, has served in ministerial and educational capacities in Virginia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and now serves as president of Keuka College for women in Keuka Park, New York. He left us with some thoughts about living with ourselves: 1) We have a choice be tween freedom and the kind of security that comes from action without commitment. 2) There is no way to avoid life’s complexity. 3) Don’t be “seduced” by knowledge or success. 4) Believe in what you say. 5) Remember you are only human, subject to ignorance and error. 6) Don’t despair — excel lence is not attained easily. The Rev. Harry S. Wright, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Bennetsville, South Carolina, and a Morehouse College graduate, was the an niversary Vesper speaker. His topic was “No Parking,” which he used to illustrate the fate of those who stop along life’s highway through their hopelessness, apathy, lack of faith, or idleness. In conjunction with the eighty-sixth anniversary of Spelman’s founding were the Know - your - Spelman contest won by the freshmen of More house South Hall, the Dance Recital presented by the phy sical education department and the Original Song contest won by the senior class.
