FROM THE REV. DR. A, B. HUNTER
Honorary President
My dear Mr. Goold:
I rejoice with you in that
1. St. Augustine’s School has become St. Augus
tine’s College. The growth of Negro education
has crowded the High School grades and made it
necessary that you should provide a college educa
tion for those who have completed the High
School grades.
2. In 1930 you erected four large substantial
buildings, dining-room, dormitory, library and
nurses’s home, increasing the facilities of the col
lege and adding to the beauty of the campus.
3. In the first year of your full college course,
you have already enrolled in the college course 158
students.
4. Tlie Department of Public Instruction of
the State of North Carolina, after due examina-
tioti of St. Augustine’s College, has given it a
rating in Grade “A”.
May the child who bears the name of the great
St. Augustine, of Hippo, lead the rest of its life
according to this beginning.
A. B. IIUNTEK,
Honorary President.

(A Graduate ot St. Augustine’s)
St. Augustine’s recent achievements are in the
realm of my dream, and the dream of many of
her gradmites, a number of whom have gone home
to their eternal rcsward. We dreamed for college
standing for our Alma Alater, and pleaded with
the Trustees through a period of years that every
thing should be done possible to bring the institu
tion up to the college level. No doubt, our ap
peals were heard sympathetically, and are even
these days bearing the fruit which was the desire
of our hearts in those days.
We do sincerely congratulate President Goold
and we do not overlook the contribution which
Dr. and Mrs. Hunter made to the achievements of
these days, because, of course, they laid the foun
dations broad and deep. Yes, indeed, I rejoice
with St. Augustine’s children and grandchildren
who are now joining in the great rejoicing which
we all have for this new day at the old school,
about which I have long prayed and dreamed.
Although many died without the sight, we, who
live, can take courage as we extend our greetings
and grateful appreciation to those who have been
most active in bringing this new day to pass.
Yours very sincerely,
S. G. Atkins, President.

Reverend Edgar H. Goold, President,
St. Augustine’s College, Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Mr. Goold:
A few, days ago I read with a great deal of
interest about the new rating that St. Augustine’s
College Department has been given by the Depart
ment of Public Instruction of North Carolina.
Knowing as I do the standards that the Depart
ment of Public Instruction requires before giving
a college a grade A rating, I feel that it is quite
fitting that both the students and alumni of St.
Augustine’s ought to be justly proud of this ad
vancement of St. Augustine’s in the field of higher
education.
I am stire that many others of the alumni have
the same feeling of nearness to St. Augustine’s
that I have, and are equally as proud of this
recent advancement in the field of higher educa
tion. Sincerely,
Hubert T. Dklany,
Assistant United States Attorney.
FROM MRS. ANNIE FENNELIi BLACK

(A Graduate of St. Augustine’s)
The recent announcement of St. Augustine’s
new rating made me very happy indeed and I
want to congratulate you and your co-workers who
have worked so hard to make this possible.
