Holms Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs The sponsoring of the Dormitory Competitive Scholastic Program was one of the most exciting ad ventures in which I have personally been involved during my many years as an administrator in higher education. The enthusiastic participation in this program clearly demonstrated that many students at Fayetteville State University have their values properly ordered. The special recognition awards to the twenty-one students from the six dor mitories, after achieving the highest scholastic averages in the categories of male dor mitory versus female dor mitory, of floors versus floors per dormitory, and of all dormitory residents, were not gestures of merely applauding the winners. More im portantly, the scholastic competition and the awards ceremony were expressions of the concept that one of Fayetteville State Univer sity’s primary concerns is to make every opportunity available to students in order that they can more effectively explore the various empirical, rational, and mystical ap proaches to knowledge; that they become more familiar with both inductive and deductive methods; that they ask serious questions, in cluding those to which perhaps no firm answer can be provided; that they make the discovery of how much is known and how much yet remains unknown; that they experience the various social, ethical, and other factors which are often interwoven and inherent in these ideas and ideals. From among these, students must judiciously select those activities and programs which contribute to the education of the whole person and which will assure the proper balance. Un fortunately, on many college campuses, too many students select too many activities which are merely social and are seemingly devoid of any real purpose except to amuse the witless. Fortunately, as I talked to students on this campus, I realized that this unbalanced selection of ac tivities and programs reflected the pattern choice of a relatively small group of students. Therefore, as I visited the various dormitories, I challenged you to an in tellectual contest which also encompassed other phases, such as the social and the moral. The charges were as follows ; 1. You must constantly strive to become articulate, both in speaking and in writing. 2. You must have a feel for language, a respect for clarity and directness of expression, and also a knowledge of words and phrases from languages other than your own. 3. You must feel at home in the world of quantity and measurement. 4. You must think rationally, logically, objectively, knowing the difference bet ween fact and opinion. 5. You must, when the oc casion demands, think imaginatively and creatively. 6. You must be perceptive of and sensitive to form and beauty. 7. You must know a good deal about the world of nature and the world of man, being aware of the culture of which you are a part and not being just merely “well informed.” 8. You must use what you know with judgment and discrimination. 9. You must think of yourself, your family, your avocation as part of a larger whole, as part of a purpose which you have made your own. 10. You must, whether making a professional or personal decision, act with maturity, balance, and perspective, all of which will come ultimately from the knowledge that you gain from the faculty, your peers, other problems, other times, other places. 11. You must have convictions which are reasoned, though you may not always be able to prove them. 12. You must be tolerant of the beliefs of others, because you respect sincerity and are not afraid of ideas. 13. You must have values which you communicate to others, not merely by word but by example. 14. You must have high per sonal standards; that which falls short of excellence should not satisfy you. 15. You must, above all, never be a type but a unique person, vivid in your distinction from your peers while sharing with them the aforementioned traits. I salute the twenty-one students who are the victors until the next phase of the on going intellectual contest at Fayetteville State University, or elsewhere. Remember that records are frequently broken, that you are “tem porary record holders,” and that there were many par ticipants who were not too far behind you this time. This salute symbolizes my deep commitment and con cern that all students accept the challenge of the fifteen charges. Students, “stay on the mark,” “stay ready,” and “go,” with the sound of each day as you challenge your schoolmates in the intellectual contest!
