Dr. Gloster began his higher education at LeMoyne Col- lege, where he received a junior college diploma and in 1967 was elected Alumnus of the Year. Next he attended More- house College, where he received the B.A. degree in English, and Atlanta University, where he received the M.A. degree in the same field. Later, he entered New York University, where he received the Ph.D. degree in English.

Under his leadership the Communications Center became one of the country's outstanding college language departments. From 1952-62, he was also Director of the Summer Session at Hampton Institute. In this position, he originated Hampton's pioneering pre-college program in 1952, promoted the redevelopment of the graduate program, and established summer institutes for in-service teachers.
