Dr. Kenneth I. Brown

Dr. Kenneth I. Brown, the former executive director of the Danforth

Foundation, was the speaker at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Atlanta Uni¬ versity Center Convocation held in Sisters Chapel on Sunday, January 30.

Dr. Brown, a nationally-known ed¬ ucator, served as president of Hiram College from 1930 to 1940 and of Denison College from 1940 to 1950. From 1950 until his retirement in

1961, he served as executive director of the Danforth Foundation.

Taking as his subject, “The Other Side of the Coin,” Dr. Brown said that “Concern for the hearts and fulness of men, and maturity of heart and spirit, are equally as im¬ portant as the education of men. The coin of education has two sides, on the one side learning, and on the other may be found three words — self-awareness, sensitivity and par¬ The Platform ticipation.” Dr. Brown saw self- Party at the Atlanta University Center Convocation.

16 Atlanta University Bulletin CAMPUS BRIEFS

Dr. Clement Cited In Time Magazine In the February 11, 1966, issue of Time magazine, the editors of the Education section selected a group of fourteen who were considered to be the most powerful college presi¬ dents in America today. Included in the group was Dr. Rufus E. Clem¬ ent, president of Atlanta University. (The University celebrated its one hundredth anniversary in 1965.) Saying that “university presidents command the vast expertise of their institutions and know how to organ¬ ize intellect,” the article pointed out that as our fast-changing society in¬ creasingly values these qualities, the influence of the presidents soar as they become a kind of fifth estate, half educators and half national pol¬ icy makers. The important educators named in the article are not members of any formal organization but are “a group of men who say exactly what they mean, are competent, have a high degree of energy, are international¬ ly minded and exert leadership in a low-key, almost casual way, seeking no euphoria of power. ' Continuing the reasons for the selection of these

fourteen men, the article said that John Lee Houston, left, and Miss Annie Wimbush, right, 1966-67 Merrill Fellows. they “commit themselves essentially because the chance to use their re¬ sources for the public good is so MERRILL FELLOWS el and study abroad. temptingly sensible.” M iss Wimbush, who is majoring Also included in the group were Miss Annie Wimbush of Grain- in French, plans to spend a year at the presidents of Princeton, U.C.L.A., bling, Louisiana, and John Lee Hous¬ the Sorbonne in Paris.
