Dr. Price Speaker At Tuskegee TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. - The Summer Commencement speaker at Tuskegee Institute last week chided Americans for developing a “thing culture’’ in which he said “we are pre occupied with tilings material, the externaltv, appendages and status symbols of our socie ty.” Dr Hollis K. Price, presi dent of LeMoyne-Qwen College in Memphis, said Americans were not too concerned about what they believe in, nor were they concerned about basic values. “A society which prized ma terial things is in away a society without values,” Price told the Commencement audi ence. “Those who do not have access to those material ti.ings are going to gain access or they will break up the ball game,” the former Tuskegee Institute professor asserted,lie called this predicament “the great malaise of the period in which we are living.’’ Because of the scientific na ture of our society, Price charged Americans with “knowing a great deal more today, but we dqp’t know the meaning of what we know.” Ho said science- lias “caused us to lose our sense of awe and wond er.” Price called for the develop ment of a “bundle of values and a philosophy of life that will be meaningful to us. The richest country in the world can no longer afford the luxury of great wealth in the midst of great poverty,” the speak er explained.
