Founder’s Day
Grand Ballroom of the Atlanta
Hilton Hotel. On this historic
occasion governmental and
educational leaders will pay
tribute to Morehouse College
and its chief administrator.
College trustees are taking
steps to arrange the
participation of President
Jimmy Carter, Senators
Herman E. Talmadge and
Sam Nunn, United Nations
Ambassador Andrew G.
Young, Governor George
Busbee, Mayor Maynard H.
Jackson, and other
governmental officials.
During the ten years of the
Gloster administration, which
began in 1967, Morehouse has
made nationally outstanding
progress in a period of
economic stringency. Despite
the impact of recession and in
flation, the College had con
ducted a successful $20,-
000,000 fund-raising cam
paign, has enriched the
academic program by adding
nine new majors, has
expanded the faculty and
student body, has increased
the proportion of faculty
Ph.D.’s to more than 60 per
cent, has doubled the en
dowment and land area, and
has constructed nine new
buildings. While making this
progress, Morehouse has
developed the highest faculty
salary schedule among private
black colleges, has given
salary increases each year,
and has not had a deficit dur
ing the 1970’s.
Carter
Continued from page one
After the Nixon ad
ministration, Americans, in
cluding blacks, have reached
the point that they want public
officials who have an innate
obligation to do right rather
than those who feel a politcal
or occupational obligation.
Blacks are tired of northern
Liberals’ promises and are
ready to take a chance on
someone who is influence by a
personal commitment as well
as a political one.
From Ralph Bakshi,
master of animation, comes an
epic fantasy in wondrous color.
A vision of the world, 10 million years
in the future, where Wizards rule the
earth. And the powers of magic prevail
over the forces of technology in the
final battle for world supremacy.
