Associate Justice of the State Su
preme Court Clifton L. Moore at
tacked radical civil rights demon
strations in a speech given during
the observance of “Law Day” at
Atlantic Christian College last
Thursday, April 23.
Justice Moore explained, “The
law guarantees them (Negro Citi
zens) the right to assemble peace
fully, to march, to picket in a rea
sonable amount to give voice to
their aspirations. Such things are
not denied to any citizen or group
of citizens.”
He added, however, that Negro
citizens “in some quarters have
openly conspired to engage in un
lawful activities.” The speaker gave
Senior Class Heads
Hold Dinner Meet
Senior class officers met April 23
at Parker’s for a dinner meeting
to discuss the role of the class of
’64 as alumni of Atlantic Christian
College. In attendance were: Oden
Latham, president; David Peebles,
vice president; George-Anne Wil
lard, secretary; Janice Lamm, sen
ator; and Rex Horne, senator. Hor
ton Godwin, treasurer, could not
attend because of a conflicting en
gagement.
The discussions of the informal
meeting centered around ways to
implement communication between
classmates and between the class
and the College. The group tenta
tively decided that the present class
officers would continue to serve
the class until the first class re
union, which would be planned for
Homecoming weekend two years af
ter graduation or in 1966. At that
time new class officers would be
elected. Both of these suggestions
will be brought before the next
senior class meeting to be discuss
ed and voted on.
In order to keep the class of ’64
more informed about activities of
the class after graduation, George-
Anne Willard, class secretary, has
asked that all seniors, after gradu
ation, write her about their new
jobs, promotion, marriages, births,
etc. In turn, she will send them to
the alumni director to be placed
in the alumni publication. Scope.
Her address after graduation will

lating private property rights, inter
fering with building of schools, vio
lating school attendance laws, and
“in some cases resorting to riot
and violence.”

the Associated Press in which FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover had been
quoted as saying that a communis
tic influence does exist in the Ne-

The North Carolina Convention of
Christian Churches (Disciples of
Christ) meeting in Washington, N.
C. on April 25, approved a resolu
tion submitted by the Board of Trus
tees of Atlantic Christian College to
revise its charter to allow the ad
mission of qualified students of all
races.
The charter revision had been
given formal consideration by the
Board of Trustees for the past
two years and was sent to the
convention with its unanimous rec
ommendation.
The N. C. Convention of Christian
Seniors To Be
Honored May 12
Richard Ziglar, class of ’56, an
nounced this week that all seniors
graduating in May will be honored
at the first meeting of the Wilson
Chapter of the Atlantic Christian
College Alumni Association to be
held May 12 at 6 p. m., in Clark
Hall of the Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Ziglar is presently serving as
temporary chairman of the chap
ter, which is in its organizational
stages.
Pointing out that even though
there are more than 500 ACC alum
ni in Wilson there has seldom been
a strong alumni chapter in Wilson.
Mr. Ziglar said, “For a long time
a number of local alumni have
been interested in getting a really
strong chapter started in Wilson,
but somehow lacked the spark to
get the ball rolling. However, with
the suggestion by a steering com
mittee member that the Wilson
chapter honor the senior class
each year at a dinner meeting, a
concrete goal and purpose of the
chapter has been found.
Churches at its 1963 meeting held
in New Bern had asked the ACC
trustees to consider the charter
revision as had the International
Convention of hristian hurches in
1962.
The charter revision will be
come effective upon impleinenlation
by the executive committee of the
board of trustees.
Dr. Arthur D. Wenger, president
of the college, told The Collegiate
Tuesday that “we have worked for
this for five years and are very
happy that the convention has seen
fit to ratify the college’s charter
change in such a way as to permit
the college to accept students for
admission without regard to race.”
The convention also passed a
resolution designating Atlantic Chris
tian’s C. L. Hardy Library as the
permanent depository for the N. C.
Discipliana Library, a 16,000-volume
library containing history and re
search on the Christian Church.

Dr. William Tucker Is Author
Of History Of J. H. Garrison
Dr. William E. Tucker, chairman
of the Department of Religion and
Philosophy at Atlantic Christian Col
lege, has announced the publication
of his book, “J. H. Garrison and
Disciples of Christ.”
The years between the Civil War
DR. TUCKER IS AUTHOR — Dr. William E. Tucker, (above) chair
man of the Religion and Philosophy Departments at Atlantic Chris-
tion College, has recently written a book entitled “J. H. Garrison
I and Disciples of Christ.” The book depicts the history of .T. H.
Garrison’s association with the Disciples of Christ from the Civil
War until 1930.
and 1930 constitute the most criti
cal period in the history of Disci
ples of Christ, yet little attempt has
been made to understand that era's
most prominent leaders, one of
whom was J. H. Garrison. For over
60 years he edited and contributed
to “The Christian - Evangelist,” the
journal which became the weekly
periodical of the Disciples. An edi
tor with vast influence, he played
a significant and sometimes deci
sive role in the life of his com
munity. This book is more than the
story of one man; it is a critical
study of the turbulent and transi
tional era in Disciple history span
ned by his editorial carrer.
The value of this book is en
hanced by the extensive use which
is made of J. H. Garrison’s letters
and diaries. This rich collection of
source material has only recently
been made available for historical
research.
Dr. Tucker’s interest in J. H. Gar
rison dates back to his work on his
Ph. D. dissertation, which was pre
sented to the faculty of Yale Uni
versity in 1960. This book grew out
of that dissertation.
He holds the B. D. degree from
Texas Christian University, and the
M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from
Yale University.
The author notes that “for many
years, historians of the Disciples
have been preoccupied with the ori
gins of the movement and its early
leaders, particularly Alexander
Campbell. “J. H. Garrison and Dis
ciples of Christ” describes and in
terprets the neglected middle period
which links the ages of Stone, Scott,
and the Campbells to our time.”
