Taylor, a member of the institution's faculty from 1926 until 1960. Dr. Taylor died Sunday, March 29, at Lincoln Hospital in Dur ham. He was born in Danville, Va., reared in Wilson, N. C, and graduated from North Carolina Central University when that school was known as the Na tional Training School. In addi tion to the B.A. degree he held from NCCU, Dr. Taylor held the Bachelor of Science and Mas ter of Science degrees from Ohio State University and was a hold er of the honorary LL.D. degree from NCCU. He had served his alma mater, NCCU, in various capacities dur ing his lifetime. He had been Dean of Men, Professor of Psy chology, and executive secretary of the James E. Shepard Memo rial Foundation, named in hon or of the institution's founder. The Board of Trustees of the school Dr. Taylor served for so long voted in January to name the school's education building for him. Dedication of the James T. Taylor Building had tenta tively been scheduled for com mencement weekend this year. While on the NCCU faculty, Dr . Taylor led the fight to equal ize the salaries of black and white teachers in North Caro lina. He was active in the North Carolina Teachers Association, serving as its president, a mem ber of its executive committee, and as chairman of a number of key committees. He ran for public office in 1957, seeking a seat on the city council. Dr. Taylor was one of the founders of the Durham Committee on Negro Affairs, serving as secretary and vice chairman of that pioneering group for many years. His last major responsibility was serving as acting chairman of the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council after the death of its first chairman, David S. Coltrane.

A&T's sophomore pitcher Ty rone Bolden of Cleveland, Ohio scattered 11 hits and struck out six in beating Norfolk State. In the first part of the cur rent season, the Aggies have un covered a wealth of batting tal ent.

Stalls worth's only loss was to High Point College in a non-confer ence game. original member of that council, named to it as vice chairman in 1963 by Governor Terry San iord. The Durham Morning Herald eulogized Dr. Taylor on its edi torial page Tuesday, March 31. In the words of that Durham publication: Dr. James T. Taylor, whose lamented death took place Sun day, left an impressive and ad mirable record in service in two important areas, education and race relations. As professor of psychology and dean of men at the institution which is now North Carolina Central University, Dr. Taylor exerted a leadership and an in fluence which extended beyond the campus limits throughout North Carolina and beyond in making education an increasing ly vital force in Negro life. An able lieutenant and associate of the late Dr. James E. Shepard, he made a significant contribu tion to the growth and advance ment of North Carolina Central | University. When he joined the faculty in 1926, it was the Dur ham State Normal School and had been receiving state support only one year. Dr. Taylor's as sociation continued through the successive name changes which reflect the institution's growing usefulness and influence in which he was vitally involved. Long before the desegregation movement came to the forefront in national life, Dr. Taylor was intimately and actively involved in promoting a better under standing and mutual good will between the races. It was fitting that his last area of service should have been as a member and as acting director of the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council. Here he rendered no table service in helping to ease tensions and to promote racial harmony. In Dr. Taylor's death, a life of eminent usefulness to the Dur ham community, the state of North Carolina, North Carolina Central University, and particu larly to Negro youth over a pe riod of almost half a century has ended: But his influence re mains, in unmeasured scope, wherever his students and their students have gone.
