DOCTOR JAMES WARD SEA
BROOK IS INSPIRATION
President James Ward Sea-
bi’ook, known far and wide as
an educator, a builder and a
friend, is rcjnembered by his
students as an inspiration as
well. Those who know him, have
come to the conclusion that he
is found always on the side of
democracy, and on the side of
right as he sees it, regardless of
the issue at hand.
Always a busy man, he takes
(he time ,nevertheless, to know
each student rather personally
and to share fully whatever prob
lems he may face. Thus it devel
ops that the students who catch
his .spirit of helpfulness and of
fair play somehow feel his ])res-
ence in every endeavor which
they undertake. His famous three
(7s cleanliness, courtesy and
('.hristianity — take new mean
ing when the college communi
ty sees them so well exempli-

istic touch to the scene.
The members of the faculty,
informal and friendly, enjoyed
theniselves in a variety of games.
'I'be occasion was heightened by

In an interview with one of the

id progress than the average pub
lic expected in the matter of ad
justing themselves to civilian
life. This adjustment has taken
place despite the fact that many
of them returning from overseas
have been faced with meager ed
ucational facilities. The voca
tional op|)ortunities, stated the
Dean, were being denied the Ne
gro Veterans.
