Atlanta University’s 74th com¬ mencement on May 31, held on the open campus for the first time in thir¬ teen years, was hi-lighted by the con¬ ferring of four honorary degrees and the awarding of eighty-three gradu¬ ate and professional degrees by Pres¬ ident Rufus E. Clement. More than two thousand attended the exercises which were held in the quadrangle facing the University Library. Receiving the degree of doctor of laws were Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, director of the Negro Di¬ vision of the National Youth Admin¬ istration, who also was the commence¬ ment speaker; Walter Francis White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo¬ ple and a graduate of Atlanta Univer¬ sity in 1916; Richard Robert Wright, president of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Philadelphia and Atlanta University’s oldest living col¬ lege graduate; and Brigadier General Baccalaureate Procession in War Time Benjamin O. Davis, whose degree was conferred in absentia.

Speaking on the topic “Pledge of Faith,” Mrs. Bethune told the grad¬ uates that soon they would be called upon to risk all either on a far-flung battlefield or on the home front, and that to fight successfully, Negroes must unite their combined strength and resources with those of all other Americans and with peoples every¬ where who believe in and practice de¬ mocracy.

“Together, with the eyes of white and black Americans fixed on the common goal of universal freedom, we will march ahead until the ene¬ mies of democracy at home and abroad are put to rout.”

In closing, Mrs. Bethune told the graduates that to come into the fray with clean hands, we must rid our¬ selves of inequality, greed, and race prejudice. “We must cry out in the midst of the struggle itself and insist that we cleanse these blots from our Baccalaureate Sunday (Continued on Page 7) Clement, Tobias, King, Mays, Read July, 1943 THE ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Page 7
