'66 Bear Staff

Editor
Jose Goodson

In the 1966 Bear, campus life is portrayed can-
didly, picturing the college student and his activities
honestly and without reservations. Approaching the
book impressionistically, we have tried to create an
atmosphere typical of Shaw University as the 100-
year old institution of higher learning enters its sec-
ond century . , . always remembering how essential
each intimate detail is in the make-up of the whole.
Therefore, this Centennial Edition is dedicated to a
unique life, that of the college student.

WE HONOR THEE . .

Everv member of the Shaw family can truthfuUv say
that Mr. Gil-Smythe deserves to be honored. He has
brought much enlightenment and entertainment to the
University in the area of music.

Many teachers gain the respect of their stu-
dents, but there are few who, by their accom-
plishments and their devotion instill a bit of awe
in those whom they teach.

We pay homage to these four dedicated per-
sons who represent a total of almost a century
and a half of service to Shaw University.

Because of his contributions to the field of athlet-
ics. Coach Lytle deserves tribute. A game, in any
sport, would not be complete without his presence.

Mrs. Ernestine P. Hamhn has rendered

Office. Students always depend on her to
help them through Registration.

College is more than a place; it is a type of existence. It
is a life that places great challenges before the student,
supplies the means to overcome them, and helps to make
him an individual. In individualism there is promise of a
stronger united strength.

Between these pages you will find many
images of what Shaw means to each of its
students

Administration of a college is the system of
supporting, educating and counseling the stu-
dents under its tutelage. The demands upon the
administration are greater than those upon the
student ... yet both are engaged in the same
purpose - education. While it is the duty of the
student to find and unlock the door to the fu-
ture, it is the duty of the administration to help
that student find the key.

ASA T. SPAULDING: CHAIRMAN
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

President of an $85 million firm which is the
largest Negro-owned insurance company in
the world, director of a leading national chain
store, friend and personal emissary for the
U.S. presidents and Tar Heel governors — that
is the story of Asa T. Spauldmg. who began
life 62 years ago as a poor farm boy in Co-
lumbus County.

Spaulding. now chief executiye of North
Carolina Mutual Life of Durham, recently re-
ceived another of his numerous high honors,
and one he prizes at or near the top. He be-
came president of the trustees of Shaw Uni-
versitv of Raleigh.

Asa Spaulding is particularly proud, be-
cause this honor stems from an interest very
close to his heart — education.

It was Spaulding's intensely earnest desire
for an education that caused him to leave his
father's farm deep in the low country of Colum-
bus, and go to Durham. He'd had in his 16
years, only a few years of four-month annual
schooling, but this was enough to alert his un-
usually perceptive mind to the fact that suc-
cess would be forever elusive without
'learning", as education was called. And he
meant to be successful.

That he has attained his goals to the fullest
and then some, is proof again that '"the Amer-
ican dream" need not be only a dream. He
surely is in the forefront of those who have
made it a reality.

Asa T Spaulding,
Chairman, Board of Trustees

Reception honoring Mrs. Viola G. Turner on her retirement from North
Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company on December 31. 1965 — giv-
en at the home of President and Mrs. A. T. Spaulding. Shown are:

Mrs. Margaret Shearin (SEATED). Mr. and Mrs, E. C, Turner, and Mr.
and Mrs. Spauldmg.

The

President James E. Cheek - the name and the man are
both symbols of dynamic to Shaw University as it em-
barlcs on a bold new program and its second century of
service to the education of American youth.

Those who know him personally can attest to the fact
that here is a man dedicated to the task of developing
and enriching the future of Shaw University. Under his
administration, the Board of Trustees adopted the Uni-
versity's new educational program and has endorsed a
five million dollar Centennial Development Fund Cam-
paign to rebuild the college's entire physical plant.

Members of Who's Who Among Student's in Ameri-
can Colleges and Universities are selected on the basis

Debnam. Sterline McNair.

-LEBRITIES

Although each person has distinguished quah-
ties of personahty, it is only occasionally that one
encounters a possessor of that extra spark of
character. If that character is to be successful,
however, it must be founded on sincerity; for
sincerity is the infaUible yardstick of the public.
A Shaw-lebrity. then, must be composed of three
factors — that which he sincerely is, that which he
sincerely wants to be, and that which he is to
others.

Robbie Debnam and Danial Burrell discuss "business" dunng their
leisure time.

A gathering of "Shaw-Lebnties"

If our faculty pretended they knew all
the answers, they would become bores and
pedants. However, when they admit they
only know some of the answers, and that
students must also engage in the search for
truth, they become scholars and friends.

If teachers gave all the answers, many
needed and enjoyable hours in the library
or science laboratory would not become a
part of our college experience. For the
search for truth sometimes centers in a lab
where many hours of work may contribute
only one minute piece of information.
Sometimes it is in the library where books
must be studied for new insights. But what-
ever the source, and whatever the know-
ledge, it passes from teacher to student and
from this generation to the next. . . .

Our Faculty Is Not Divine

An attempt to praise the Faculty as a group is possible
but also quite unrealistic. To praise them as individuals is
impossible for us (the members of the yearbook stalT,
which is limited lot), but it is the only vaUd way.

If each reader would praise or commend the instructors
and administrators they know, our task here in presenting
them to you is complete.

The three necessary elements for
a complete education are the learn-
ing of facts, self-knowledge and the
practical application of both of these
to real life. It involves discovery,
amplification and improvement of
potentialities. It calls for forebear-
ance and the acceptance of the sci-
ences of life.

Above all. it demands that the
student think, for only then can an
education have perspective.

The true scholar is one who

opportunity.

In participating in activities,
the student learns to broaden
his outlook and respect the
rights of others; to form, ar-
range, and state his own opin-

work cooperatively with his fel-

on a scale with others and at-

succeeds, the advantages are

Greek organizations are societies designed for the so-
cial and scholastic benefit of its members, and is founded
upon the bond of brotherhood.

The evolvement of fraternities and sororities has been
gradual. In early stages. Greeks formed their alliances se-

cretly, since the schools banned any such group. Today,
most colleges endorse the organizations, and the fraterni-
ties, in return, have given allegiance to the schools. The
Greek organizations have become part of the backbone
of school spirit.

$10 Million Rebuilding Project Set at Shaw

Campus to Expand to Meet

By SIDNEY STAPLETON
Times Staff Writer

President James E. Cheek of Shaw University has an-
nounced the school will institute an entirely new curriculum
in September more in line with the needs of the stu-
dents it admits.

Cheek said the new curriculum is the result of more
than two years of study by the administration and faculty
at the Shaw in an attempt to enable the school to offer its
students the best possible education.

"We have such a wide diversity of ability among the

students we admit," Cheek said, "that we must correspond-
ingly diversify our teaching to enable the faster student to
go ahead with his education while giving the slower student
the additional time and instruction he needs."

Under the new program, some students may need as
much as five years to complete their degree requirements
while others may secure their degrees in the normal four
years, or in some cases, even less.

Shaw will also shift from its present semester system
to a "term system" under which it will operate on a full-
time basis the year-round. The school year will be divided
into four quarters and the student who needs to do more
work can attend in the summer.

The future new campus at Shaw University will include (1) library, (2) and (3) classrooms buUdings, (4) student lounge and
cafeteria, (5) and (6) new residence halls, (7) fine arts building, (8) auditorium and chapel, (9) music building, (10) univer-
sity church, and (11) the administration building now under construction. Other buildings are existing structures which will be
remodeled.

Varied Needs

Under the plan, there will no longer be the accustomed
freshman, sophomore, junior and senior designations for
students. They will be divided into upper and lower levels
with periodic examinations determining when the student
should be moved up.

Cheek said extensive tests administered when the stu-*
dent enters will determine which program he will enter.

While the administration drew upon recommendations
from other educational institutions for its new program,
it is basically their own idea and a somewhat revolutionary
concept.

The curriculum will also include the use of automated
teaching machines and the addition of an audio-language
laboratory.

The 32-year-old Cheek has already broken a number of
precedents at the Baptist institution since he was made its
president in December of 1%3.

At the time Cheek took over, the school was faced
with a $280,000 deficit and seemed on the verge of closing.
However, Cheek put on a high-powered fund-raising drive
among the alumni and friends of the institution and the debt
was paid in full in six months.

Cheek also completely revamped the school's administra-
tion and faculty, hiring four new department heads, tight-
ening up the lines of responsibility and authority and em-
ploying some 15 new teachers. He said an additional six
professors will be added this year.

Recently the school sold part of its West campus
to the city for street development and used the proceeds
from the sale to begin construction on a new $130,000
administration building which is about half complete.

The new building will ultimately stand in the center
cf a new $10 million campus which Cheek hopes to see
rise on the site in the next five to seven yea^.

Most of the existing buildings will be demolished in
phases to make way for the new structures. Only the
present natural sciences building, the chapel, the freshman
dormitory, and the gymnasium will be left.

Cheek said the campus will be divided into four seg-
ments with each area devoted to a specific function.
There will be areas for residence halls, teaching, fine arts,
and a multi-purpose area centered around the existing
chapel building.

First on the list to be constructed is a nine-story
women's domitory with a cafeteria and student lounge to
follow. Construction on this building is slated to begin be-
fore the end of this calendar year with the cafeteria and
lounge following early in 1966.

A new men's dormitory will be added as enrollment
necessitates.

In time a six-story natural sciences building and

library will be constructed and the present natural sciences

building will be remodeled and enlarged for new liberal

arts classroom space.

The third phase of the building program will include

President James E. Cheek of Shaw University emphasizes
the need for teaching a diversified curriculum to correspond
with the wide variety of ability among the students admitted.

a fine arts center, a building for music and drama, and a
combmation chapel and auditorium.

Later the school hopes to acquire a three block tract
to the east to develop new recreational areas. Present
recreational facilities will be absorbed by the new build-
ings.

The Baptist school was founded in 1865 and recently
celebrated its centennial anniversary. It is thus the oldest
Negro co-educational institution in the nation and has about
900 students enrolled.

Cheek himself is a native of Greensboro and Roanoke
Rapids, Va. He spent seven years in theological seminaries
and one year as a teacher at a Negro college in Richmond,
Va., before coming to Shaw.

Sports and athletics involve a formula com-
bining perseverance, thought and skill. In an
athletic contest, the players should have more
than the ability to compete well. It is imperative
that they learn the arts of teamwork and sports-
manship. They have to accept discouraging de-
feats on the same plane as exhilarating victories,
and be able to temper their emotions to both.

"In our hearts we build a shrine for
thee . . .

We hail the Queens of Shaw U. . . ."

Grace, charm, talent, personahty
and beauty are the qualifications of a
successful queen as well as a successful
human being. Here at SHAW UNI-
VERSITY, we are blessed with a bevy
of lovely young ladies with the forego-
ing qualities for being our queens. In
looking around our campus, we often
wonder, as we view the many 'lovely
lassies who were by-passed because of
campus traditions, why there could not
be at least "a dozen Queens" for each
organization.

This section is devoted entirely to
our reigning and charming queens. We
will also remember their serenity dur-
ing the Coronation, homecoming fes-
tivities, the Greek balls and many oth-
er festive affairs of their domain here
at dear ole SHAW U.

College is more than a place; it is a type of existence. It is a life
that places great challenges before a student, supplies the means
to overcome them, and helps to make him an individual. In indi-
vidualism there is promise of a stronger, united strength.

College life is constructed on four cornerstones — scholarship,
social life, self-knowledge, and school spirit. If these cornerstones
are to support the college, they must be placed upon a firm founda-
tion — quality of the individual student.

SHAW UNIVERSITY

Its History and Rebirth

In 1965, Shaw University completed a full century of
educational activity premised upon the principle that reli-
gion and learning go hand in hand and that character
grows with understanding, (knowledge)

The story of these one hundred years is studded with
turbulence, wars, depressions and with radical changes in
educational policy and practice. In a larger sense, it is
also the story of that curious American phenomenon
called Negro education, now considered anachronistic by
informed observers.

No brief account can ever hope to capture completely
the sense of drama nor reveal truly the skeins of continu-
ity connecting that long ago begmning, with the college
as it exists today. But perhaps something of the pathos
may be conveyed with the statement that upon witness of
the disorder prevalent here a scant three years ago, even
the most impartial observer would not have failed to
predict utter collapse for this embattled college. But this
prediction could not have been more wrong, for it would
have reckoned the tireless efforts of dedicated men and
women to keep ahve a worthy enterprise.

Now Shaw enters her second century of service. The
future could not be more bright, the opportunities more
numerous, nor the achievement of true excellence nearer
her grasp. For the predominantly Negro, private liberal
arts church-related college, Shaw University now points
the way to the future.

It began on October 10, 1865. A white New Englander,
Henry Martin Tupper, recently discharged Union Army
Chaplain, arrived in Raleigh at the behest of the Ameri-
can Baptist Home Mission Society to help feed, clothe
and educate the newly freed slaves. The first two man-
dates were relatively easily accompUshed. But it would be
diflicult to imagine a more inauspicious time for the
founding of a college.

It was the closing weeks of the great fratricidal. Civil
War. Busy Hcking its own wounds, the impoverished
ante bellum South had neither the resources nor the in-
clination to educate its former bondsmen. Into this vacu-
um stepped the Northern based American Baptist Home
Mission Society and other church related agencies, giving
impetus to the establishment of many church related col-

leges across the southland. This was a development in
which Shaw shared; but. there, the similarity ends.

On that lirst day. Tapper was advised to "Catch the
tirst train gomg back North" by a fellow clergyman. But
Tupper was not to be put off. From his diary note on De-
cember 1. 1865, a month hence, the entry that he had vis-
ited six families, held a prayer meeting and "heard my
theological class", the college takes its date of origin.
Onlv Julv 5, 1866, the Raleigh Institute was formed, en-

Dr. Henry Martin Tupper. . . . Founder and
first President.

Ignoring the current vogue of considering women suit-
able only for housework, another educational heresy was
committed with the establishment in 1872 of a "Female
Department". Despite heavy criticism of housing both
men and women on the same campus, Tupper persisted
in appealing for funds with which to build a women's
residence. In 1874 a women's residence was erected bear-
ing the name of its largest contributor, Jacob Estey. So
successful was the Women's Department, that in 1893, a
Missionary Training Department was added for women
also.

Tupper succeeded in surrounding himself with capable
and distinguished assistants. Evenly divided between
white and Negro teachers, the Shaw faculty were dedicat-
ed, missionary spirited men and women whose academic
preparation was good but whose salaries enabled them
only to live in a shabby state of respectibility. In the ear-
ly decades, teachers like McKee. Hayward, Charlotte
Murray, Brawley, Pegues and later, Payne, Cook, Gil-
Smythe and others, all gave unstintingly of themselves.
They will be long remembered.

Student life was rigorous but not unpleasant. Emphasis
was placed on Christian character building. This was sup-
ported by daily chapel attendance and evening prayer
service plus a two hour course in Bible. There were liter-
ary societies, debate groups and various cultural pro-
grams, sometimes open to the public. The only rehef in
this otherwise stringent regiment was organized intercolle-
giate sports such as baseball and football. Socializing was
permitted although dancing was not. Still, any thought of
student docihty must be dispelled when on January 2,

rolling seventy-five students for training as ministers and
teachers. In 1870, the name was changed to Shaw Col-
legiate Institute, and construction begun on Shaw Hall,
named for the largest contributor. Hlijah Shaw. With the
issuance of a charter Ln 1875, the name became Shaw
University, and in 1878, six students were graduated
three with the Bachelor of Arts degree and three with the
Bachelor of Science degree.

From the outset, the fledgling school was in direct
conflict with contemporary educational thought which
held that Negroes were incapable of significant educa-
tional achievement. Disdamful of such thinking, Shaw
offered high school level courses in carpentry, furniture-
making and bricklaying in addition to college level de-
gree programs in Theology, Law and Pharmacy. In 1881,
Shaw instituted a four year medical training program,
which was the first in this country and which remains the
pattern of medical education even today.

tional offerings and closed the professional

student who had gotten married against regulations.
Threatened with dishonorable dismissal if they did not
return to class, many decided to leave rather than submit.
Henry Martin Tupper died on November 12, 1893 and
was laid to rest on the campus. His headstone reads, "He

counted not his life dear unto himself that he might lift
Godward his brother," By sheer force of his determina-
tion and resolve, he had estabUshed a viable institution
of learning against the most acute odds. He had provided
ample demonstration of the Negro's educability and his
desire to lead a useful, productive life. In heartfelt grat-
itude to him, whenever the University Choir traveled
north on tour they stopped in Philadelphia to visit and
sing in the nursing home where his widow had gone to
live out her years.

The Shaw University of yesterday is linked with the in-
stitution of today by an elite procession of only seven
chief executive officers. Each brought to that high office
the weight of his own personality, his philosophy of edu-

pleading rising costs and diminishing finances. A more
serious blow to the graduates of these schools (404 physi-
cians, 124 pharmacists and 54 lawyers) would be hard to
imagine.

Serving from January 1920-1^31, Joseph Leishman
Peacock decided not to compete with the burgeoning
state secondary school program. He phased out Shaw's
high school curriculum, reduced the industrial offerings
and concentrated increasingly on upgrading the collegiate
level courses.

To the aristocratic William Stuart Nelson, the first Ne-
gro president, 1931-1935, fell the awesome task of culti-
vating new financial support from the Negro community
and alumni. His task can best be appreciated when it is
recalled that this period coincides with the beginning of
the great depression.

Building upon the legacy of his predecessor, the en-
thusiatic Robert Prentiss Daniel, set in motion a building
renovation program. He strengthened the academic pro-
gram and achieved an "A" rating from the earlier "B"
awarded in 1933 by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.

WilUam R. Strassner served creditably from 1951-1962.
However, the latter part of his administration represents
a time of growing discontent and disenchantment. Shaw's

cation and influence. The result was often contrasting

indebtness. Closure was imminent. The situation seemed
beyond reclamation. Strassner resigned in 1962.

From August 1962 to November 1963, interim presi-
dent Nelson H. Harris presided. A stalwart of some thirty
years' service and, some say, a by-passed candidate for
president in 1951, Harris ushered Shaw into the closing
years of her first century.

In December of 1963 the Board of Trustees passed the

THE CENTENNIAL

FESTIVAL

OF THE ARTS

As a major feature of the celebration of its one
hundredth anniversary, Shaw University presented
the Centennial Festival of the Arts, the first such
promotion of its kind in the school's history. The
Festival featured artists of distinction from the
worlds of music, drama, literature and art.

Through this Festival, the University brought
to new recognition the concept that valid artistic
experiences are central to the enhancement of the
human condition — without them, life would be-
conie narrow and meaningless.

The festival provided significant cultural ex-
posure not only for the college community, but for
the community at large.
