Dr. L. C. Dowdy, president-elect,
will preside and will issue the
following statement:
"Today, I face the greatest challenge of my life, and together, you
and I have a confrontation with
demands, expectations and opportunities, the magnitude of which
has not been seen before in the history of man. Our immediate task
here is to provide an educational
program strong enough in quality
to produce graduates who can walk
with dignity in any academic community, face boldly any challenge,
grasp fearlessly any opportunity,
and accept with complete confidence their total responsibilities
as citizens.
"This is a tremendous task, but
I face it with complete optimism
because you will share these responsibilities with me. The future
of our College and its programs
cannot exceed, in any respect, the
high aspirations, devotion, loyalty,
dedication
attitudes
ments of the faculty and staff. You
are the public embodiment of the
highest aspirations of A&T College. YOU lead the way in disseminating truth, encouraging the
love of truth broadcasting the
knowledge that is NOW, and quickening curiosity for the knowledge
that is TO BE. Our College can be
no greater than the ideas of its
faculty; therefore, one of my primary functions will be to release
the hidden talents of our faculty
and utilize them in developing an
educational program second to
none.
"John Gardner has said, 'A
society decays when its institutions
and individuals lose their vitality.'
For a society to escape from rigidity, sterility and ultimate decay,
to retain the capacity for continuous self-renewal, it must operate
through    institutions    which    are

At Annual Capping Exercises
Faculty,   Staff,
Seniors
May 2, 1964
Last Day For Paying
Cap and Gown Fee
Twenty-seven sophomore nursing students received caps in ceremonies held last Sunday in Harrison auditorium.
The speaker was Mrs. Lillian
H. Harvey, dean, School of Nursing, Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama. She was delivering the main address at the
annual Capping Exercises for the
A&T School of Nursing, held on
Sunday, April 5.
The event featured the presentation of caps to twenty-seven sophomore nursing students, who had
met qualifications to begin clinical
experience in local hospitals. It
was the largest such class in the
history of the College.
Using the subject, "The Place
Is Here, The Time, Now," Mrs.
Harvey said the opportunities being
gained today by campaigns on the
streets of America will be secured
only as the Negro meets the requirements of new adversaries in
the computer, the objective examinations and merit examinations, "the data which reveal how
you stack up in a world of competition."
She challenged the students,
"How you perform today, the time,
and at A&T, the place, will determine how you will stack up
in a new world which you will
face."
Four of the coeds were singleii
out for special praise. Debra John
son, Columbia, S. C, received the
Dr. C. C. Stewart Memorial Scholarship Award, given by the Greensboro Medical Society for superior
academic achievement. The Moses
H. Cone Women's Auxiliary Award
for professional promise went to
Augelyn Wyrick, Greensboro; Rosa
Ward, Bethel, received the Medical - Surgical Award from the
Greensboro Academy of Medicine;
and Justine Ford, Newton, was
cited with the Teloca Grads'
Award for participation in professional organizations.
Other students who received caps
were Barbara Hyatt, Badin; Ethel
Warren, Belews Creek; Carol Dixon, Burlington; Valerie A. Avery
and Gaynelle Neely, both of Charlotte; Susie Watford, Colerain;
Betty Gordon, Fayetteville; Greath-
er Savage and Carolyn Simmons,
both of Goldsboro; Bernice Mitchell, Southern Pines; Lelia Salter,
