I Board of Trustees
"The Board of Trustees of a private college establishes its purposes and policies, defines the scope and nature of its pro¬ gram, selects the president and evaluates his performance, and supervises the finan¬ cial management of the institution. Having these vast powers, the Board of Trustees determines the destiny of a college." — Hugh M. Gloster
Morehouse is fortunate in having a Board of Trustees consisting of outstand¬ ing individuals who make significant con¬ tributions in ideas and support to the Col¬ lege. They assume responsibility for pro¬ moting the work of the school, serve as advocates and spokesmen of the College in their spheres of influence, and use their personal contacts and professional exper¬ tise to develop the institution in all phases of its operation. The present Board of Trustees consists of thirty regular members, three teachers, and three students. The thirty regular members —whose names, professions, and home cities are listed below — include six bankers, five business executives, four educators, four lawyers, three ministers, two physicians, one dentist, one insurance executive, one journalist, one judge, one politician, and one religious executive. Since 1967, six members of the Board of Trustees have passed —Charles K. Brum- ley, Jr., Rufus E. Clement, Martin Luther King Jr., Lawrence J. MacGregor, John Nu- veen, and Clayton R. Yates Sr. Perhaps the greatest changes in the Board membership have come in the Fi¬ nance Committee and in student-faculty representation. The Finance Committee has lost all three of its 1967 members — Henry M. Minton by retirement and Charles K. Brumley, Jr., and Lawrence J. MacGregor by death — and three students and three teachers have been elected to the Board for staggered three-year terms.

Hugh M. Gloster Dr. Willis J. Hubert Mr. Wiley Perdue President Academic Dean Business Manager Prior to 1967 the College had the follow¬ ing administrative offices: Office of the President Office of the Academic Dean Office of the Bursar (Business Manager) Office of the Registrar Office of the Director of Personnel (Dean of Students) Office of the Director of Placement Office of the Director of Financial Aid
In 1967 the first four of the above-listed offices were over-crowded in Harkness Hall, the administration building shared with Atlanta University and constructed in 1931, and in some cases were forced to extend their operations into corridors. At Dr. Charles M. Bell Mr. William M. Nix Mrs. Alice Green that time the offices of the Director of Dean of Students Director of Personnel and the Director of Placement Registrar & Development Director of Admissions were located in dormitories, and that of the Director of Financial Aid was located in Sale Hall. In order to improve the services and operations of the College, the following administrative offices have been added since 1967:
Office of the Director of Admissions Office of the Director of the Advanced Institutional Development Program (AIDP) Office of the Director of Alumni Affairs Office of the Director of Corporate Relations Office of the Director of the Counseling Center Mr. Nathaniel Veale Dr. Allen S. May, Jr. Mr. Benjamin P. McLaurin Office of the Director of Development Director Director Director of Placement Office of the Director of Dormitory Life Alumni Affairs Public Relations Office of the Director of Federal Relations Office of the Director of Institutional Research and Planning Office of the Director of Public Relations
The construction of two academic buildings —Brawley Hall for the Human¬ ities and Teacher Education in 1970 and Wheeler Hall for Business Administration and the Social Sciences in 1976 —made it possible to convert Sale Hall and Sale Hall Annex into office buildings.

In recruiting new teachers, the College tries to employ men and women who have high academic qualifications in terms of graduate study and teaching skills. In ad¬ dition, the College seeks to obtain instruc¬ tional personnel who are successful in stu¬ dent development, scholarly research, and social service. While it is difficult to find faculty members who are strong in all of these areas of professional per¬ formance, the College attempts to employ more than just a well-prepared and skillful classroom teacher whenever a vacancy occurs.

H J i "Not too long ago black teachers were almost totally neglected by the white colleges, and white faculty members in black colleges were rarely recruited by other institutions and were frequently stigmatized. In the old days, moreover, teachers were usually motivated by service and sacrifice as 6)(j they taught ex-slaves in an unfriendly land. At present, however, teachers generally seek positions of¬ ^ I fering the best advantages in salary and security, and predominantly white colleges and universities vigorously compete with predominantly black colleges for both white and black teachers. Some predominantly white schools are seeking black teachers in an effort to right a centuries-old wrong or to get the best possible personnel. Others are seeking one or more 'token' black teachers in order to provide racial window-dressing or to qualify for Federal grants. Regardless of the motives, the black Coach Arthur J. & McAfee colleges are hard pressed to compete with richer schools for faculty and staff." Director of Athletics — Hugh M.

During the school year 1966-67 the faculty salary schedule had minimums but no max- imums for the four academic ranks; but, beginning with the school year 1968-69, a max¬ imum was established for each rank. During the past six years, when colleges throughout the country have had serious financial problems, teachers at Morehouse have received annual salary increases and have benefited from a series of improvements in the faculty salary schedule. The following table compares the faculty salary schedule during the school year1966-67 with that during the current school year:

College Constructs Nine Buildings in Seven Years
Setting a record for building construction at a predominantly black private college, Morehouse has erected the following nine buildings during the past seven years and has thereby provided first-class facilities for its students, faculty, and staff:
Name Year
Benjamin G. Brawley Hall 1970 (humanities academic building) Charles D. Hubert Hall 1970 (116-bed dormitory) Howard Thurman Hall 1970 (116-bed dormitory) Frederick Douglass Commons 1971 (college center) W. E. B. DuBois Hall 1974 (116-bed dormitory) Walter R.

Wheeler Hall 1975 (business administration-social sciences academic building) Chapel Building* 1977 (Afro-American Hall of Fame) Administration-Reading Room Building* 1977
*now under construction
The building program has moved steadily forward despite handicaps and delays caused by recession and inflation during the 1970's. For example, the cost of John H. Wheeler Hall increased from an initial estimate of $1,000,000 to an actual low bid of $1,415,471, and that of the multi-purpose chapel-administrative office-reading room building from $1,500,000 to $3,473,438.

In the Second-Century Development Campaign —which was designed to provide scholarships to meet financial needs of deserving students, to pay salaries to hold and at¬ tract an able Faculty and Staff, to acquire land to accommodate the physical expansion of the College, and to construct buildings to provide adequate facilities for efficient and creative instruction — the College had an overall goal of $20,000,000 including $15,500,000 in private contributions from Atlanta and the nation at large and $4,500,000 in federal grants for academic and administrative improvements. The campaign for $15,500,000 in the private sector was divided into two stages—Phase I, the Atlanta drive for $1,500,000 and, Phase II, the national drive for $14,000,000. The Atlanta drive was the first large-scale capital-funds campaign ever undertaken by a black college in the Georgia capital. As the following table shows, Morehouse has not only raised $23,066,481 and passed its goal of $20,000,000 in its Second-Century Development Campaign but also has set a fund-raising record for a black liberal arts college and conducted a financial drive which is nationally outstanding for a school of its size and type:

We want to use our time more constructively by tackling the problems of tomorrow. "Morehouse has not yet had her finest hour. The best board has not convened. The best president has not pre¬ sided. The best teacher has not taught. The best student has not studied. The best alumnus has not achieved. The best band has not played. The best glee club has not sung. The best team has not performed. The best building has not been constructed. "Our past, as great as it is, is behind us. Our future, as glorious as it shall be, is before us. "Let us have proper appreciation for the contributions of yesterday and the foundations which they have provided, but let us give greater attention to the challenges of tomor¬ row and what they will mean if we succeed. "Let our motto be, 'Hats off to the past! Coats off to the future!'"
" 'We greet the dawn and not a setting sun When day is done!' "
