Chambers said.
"Black Americans have
long appreciated the value
of an education and I know
we can do better." he
charged.
Citing the nurse training
<* i state University and
North Carolina Central
University are positive
examples,” he said. “The
state threatened in the mid
70’s to close the programs
unless 80 percent or better
of their nursing graduates
passed the examination by
1980. In each instance the
colleges passed the test.”
“It matters not where
>ou come from, what your
background and exper
iences have been or how
much you have suffered
from past discrimination.”
he said. "Nothing can
excuse students from not
giving their best effort and
Commitment to education,”
'he said:
“Educated blacks are
often the least likely to
become involved." Cham
bers said.
“Protecting their status,
aloof from the plight of
others, minorities who
have escaped frequently
refuse to lend a helping
hand,” he asserted

“Black Americans must
become involved and
support the organizations
that protect our ireedom,
while shattering the rem
nants of the past we must
continue our strides toward
economic; social and
spiritual freedom. I trust
that you will never forget
that you are free only to the
extent the less fortunate
are free,” he stressed.
Reflecting on the words
of the great pioneer in Civil
Rights, Frederick Douglas,
Chambers concluded,
“Forty years of my life
have been given to the
cause of my people and if I
had 40 more they should all
be sacr°dlv given to the

i same cause.”
Bishop William Milton
Smith, chairman of Living
stone’s Board of Trustees,
was exuburant in his praise
of college president, Dr.
William H. Greene’s efforts
“ftr lifting-morale,
upgrading faculty and
staff, beautifying the cam
pus and handling fiscal
affairs. “He is making
every effort to bring
Livingstone back to its for
mer glory,” Bishop Smith
said.
“The trustees are also
working to help the
college,’’ he said. “They
recently raised $150,000 to
replace two roofs at the
college and approved two
property purchases during
the past year.”
The college bought Dun
can Center, which is located
across from Livingstone,
from the Salisbury City
Schools for $160,000 and
part of the estate of the late
Bishop Walls. "And we’ll
keep on buying until we buy
Monroe Street,” Bishop_
Smith concluded.
Dr. Greene introduced
the speaker earlier in the
program and challenged
the seniors in his closing
remarks to go forth and
make the world a better
~ptace for tliwe who follow.
Bachelors degrees were
awarded to 86 Livingstone
graduates during the
ceremonies.
David Badgett, a junior
from Long Island, New
York, was also commis
sioned by Bishop Alfred
Dunston as a 2nd Lieuten
ant in the United States
Army.
Three students in Hood
Theological Seminary were
awarded Master of Rel
ligious education degrees
and ten were awarded
Master of Divinity degrees.
Senior class president,
Shirley Dingle, delivered
farewell remarks on behalf
of the class while Albert

gave a farewell statement.
