In An Impressive Ceremony
Dr* William Henry Greene Officially
Becomes Livingstone’s 7th President
Special To The Post
Dr. William Henry L’vei Greene
became the seventh president of
Livingstone College and Hood Theo
logical Seminary this week during
an impressive ceremony that
followed an academic procession of
represenatitves from more than 400
colleges, universities, church and
community leaders in the United
States.
“I sense the awesomeness of the
position I have accepted," Greene
said, climaxing the Varick Audi
torium ceremony, which was simul
taneously telecast to an overflow
crowd in the Livingstone Little
Theatre.'
“If I have the strength and hu
mility for the position,” Greene said,
“it comes as a result of being born to
a man and woman, Mala chi and
Mattie Greene, who believed that
one’s present does not determine’a
one’s future. . . that one’s limitations
depend upon one’s dreams.
"Livingstone's buildings," he
said, "are monuments to soldiers
who fought a war against ignorance,
despair and discrimination. The
college is a place where men and
women can expand their horizons,
bring reality to their dreams and set
their vision of tomorrow.”
“We must recognize that Living
stone and Hood Seminary is a unique '
experience. We must know when we
sweat and toil over Shakespeare,
Milton, Plato, and Keats? l-angstnn
Hughes, DuBois and Lerone Bennett
will wipe our brows," he said.
“The philosophy of Kier Keyaard
will be given substance and soul by
Howard Thurman and C. Eric Lin
coln. The sweetness of Maria
Callus, the smoothness of Beet
hoven, the power of Marion An
derson and the emotion of Martin
Luther King will bring joy to our
souls,” he continued.
"Livingstone’s graduates," he
said, "because of their association
with the A ME Zion Church, un
derstand the historical relationship
between the black school and the
black church, and believe both
education and faith are inseparable
and necessary for a worthy exist
ence. They inherit,” he said, “a
tradition of excellence that has
evolved through trying circumstan
ces and a Promethean struggle.
“Our dreams for Livingstone
College and Hood Seminary is a
simple one....to lift higher our tra
dition of excellence so that it may be
known that excellence is embodied
in every part of the college,” he said.
In concluding, Dr. Greene said,
”Livingstone-llood is a community
of people dedicated to providing and
advancing education and who
believe that their greatest
accomplishment is always the next
one.,.a community of people who
when justice is done, when mercy is
given, will rats* their heads to the
heavens... true to our God, true to
our native land.
Greene’s administration, which
began July 1, 1989, has already
resulted in a number of major
changes.
He has secured a 57 percent
increase in the annual allocation to
the college and seminary from the
AME Zion Church, going from
9700,000 last year to approximately
11.1 million this year. He has started
an intensive campus beautification
and renovation program and an
aggressive recruitment and admis
sions program that has pushed
combined enrollment for the college
and seminary from 889 but year to
about 750 this year. Simultaneous
ly the average SAT score of en
tering freshmen is up iso points

Stress Takes Mental, Physical Toll
Durham, NC - Stress can take its
toll on anyone’s mental condition,
but many people can also be affected
- physically, according to^ a Duke
University Medical Center psychia
trist.
Anyone is likely to feel stress in
tense Jobs, social or family situa
tions, but the hard-driving, im
patient or hostile person is most
susceptible, said Dr. Redford B.
Williams, professor of psychiatry
and associate professor of medicine.
“They are the type of people who

are much more susceptible to the
wear and tear of everyday life,"
Williams said. “They often fed they
cannot trust other people enough to
be nice to them."
This “Type A” person, Williams
said, is always on guard and easily
angered. This “state of vigilance’’
affects the body’s stress-related
hormones, Willituna believes, and is
probably responsible for other L,
health problems.
Researchers initially correlated
—Type A hehavinr with a hiflher
incidence’of heart disease. '.'More
recent analyses indicate that it’s
the hostility component of Type A
behavior that correlates with heart
disease,” Williams said.
