BARDOLPH FORUM SPEAKER

Dr. Richard Bardolph, professor of history and political science at the Woman’s College, University of North Carolina, and author of The Negro Vanguard, addressing the Arts and Sciences Forum in Novem¬ ber. said that the momentum of the American liberal tradition had worked powerfully through the years on the side of the Negro as he has tried to erase the color line. Al¬

though Dr. Bardolph saw in Ameri¬ ca an implacable belief in uniformi¬ ty which penalizes differences, the American society is nevertheless an open or achievement society, a fact which has enabled the Negro to em¬ brace the values and institutional forms in that society. Dr. Bardolph. who in his book had analyzed the contribution of outstanding Negroes in the past, looked to the future and foresaw the franchise, which gives the Negro the balance of power in the two- partv system, and economic pres¬ sure as effective factors in accelerat¬ ing social change.

Dkckmbkr, 1960 38 To the Alumni of Atlanta University

Greetings:

At the last annual meeting of the Atlanta University Alumni Association, held in Atlanta on Satur¬ day. May 28, I960, your association unanimously and generously agreed to undertake to raise $500,000 from its members. I his is to he the Alumni support of the financial effort now being undertaken as a part of the Centennial Celebration in 1065. As the total financial goal for the Celebration is five million dollars ($5,000,000), we are already at work on plans and programs with which we expect to secure the other $4,500,000 in order to make the effort completely successful.

We have a little less than five years in which to raise this money. Since there are now more than 4,000 living alumni of the University it has been suggested that every graduate would pledge and con¬ tribute a minimum of $50.00 a year for each of the next five years to this Alumni Centennial Fund. Knowing that there may be some few (very few!) who may be unable to give this amount, it will be necessary for others, better circumstanced, to give more than the $50.00 each year — and many, for¬ tunately, are able to do this and there are those whom we hope will contribute considerably more than the total of $250 over the five-year period.

Some of the alumni can easily contribute $1,000, some can give as much as $5,000, and some can give even larger amounts. It will be necessary for every one to give generously if we are to achieve the Alumni goal.

You may ask what is to be done with the $5,000,000 we are determined to raise.

According to plans now approved by the Board of Trustees of Atlanta University this financial effort is a capital expansion effort, but — contrary to most planning of this sort — none of this money goes into physical plant. After careful study of the needs and opportunities of the University it has been decided that all of the funds raised will be invested with the income from the investments being used for three main purposes: (1) For faculty expansion and salaries, (2) For library materials and science equipment, and (3) For student aid programs (scholarships, fellowships and assistantships).

Your University has a very high rating in the academic world; it is internationally known as an institution of excellence; it is drawing students from many nations in Europe. Asia and Africa while at the same time it continues to be a place in which any qualified American may enroll for the work which it offers. Now the time has come when our program should be expanded, we must engage more highly trained faculty members, more adequately pay those who are already on our faculties and provide more aid to needy and able students. All of these things we must do if we are to keep our place in the front ranks of American institutions of higher learning. The successful completion of our financial program for the Centennial Celebration will assure this.

Every alumnus should begin now to think about the part he or she will play in this phase of the Centennial program. Soon you will be given an opportunity to let the University know what your deci¬ sion is. We are expecting every single graduate to respond with promptness and with generosity.

In my next letter I will tell you more about other plans for the Centennial Year — 1965.

With appreciation, I am

Sincerely yours,
