MOREHOUSE ALUMNUS
IN MEMORIAM
PRESIDENT EMERITUS SAMUEL HOWARD ARCHER December 23, 1870-January 15, 1941

On January 19, 1941, around 3:30 in the afternoon the body of President Emeritus Samuel Howard Archer was carried from Sale Hall Chapel by two Morehouse students, two members of the Alumni Association, and two members of the Morehouse faculty. In attendance at his funeral were persons who represented a cross-section of the humanity Dr. Archer loved and served so effectively. Gathered for the last time with him were the members of his family to whom he had devoted unbounded affection and love and with whom he had found great joy. Many Morehouse graduates were present for President Archer's valedictory appearance in chapel. Poignant memories surged through their minds as they thought of the way their lives had been fashioned by their contacts with President Archer. We were made more aware of our responsibility to help perpetuate the fine ideals which were so inextricably a part of the philosophy and life of Mr. Archer as we listened to several brief talks by those who had been privileged to know and work with him. In addition to those who made talks the following persons helped with the services: Drs. D. D. Crawford, and L. 0.
Lewis; Reverends C. N. Ellis and
W. H. Borders. A second fire at Roger Williams
University in ashville, Tennessee, was one of the direct causes involved in Morehouse College obtaining the services of Dr. Archer. This was in 1905, three years after he graduated from Colgate University and one year before Dr. John Hope, his friend and colleague for over thirty years, became president of Morehouse College.

Mr. Archer, who was born in Petersburg, Virginia on December 23, 1870, prepared for college at Wayland
Academy in Washington, D. C.,
where for two years before graduation he was a student-teacher. At Colgate University, from which school he received his A.B. in 1902, he was active in student and intercollegiate activities. For three years he played guard on the varsity eleven. As a varsity debater he was characterized as being able and forceful. The Colgate faculty chose Mr. Archer as one of the six commencement speakers in recognition of his speaking ability and standing as a student.
After his retirement as president of Morehouse Dr. Archer gained much contentment by sitting in his living room in a comfortable chair, which was given him by the Morehouse faculty and staff, and looking at the coveted "C" which had been awarded him as a result of his contribution to the Colgate varsity eleven. It seems that from this point Mr. Archer, in his thinking, would re-create scenes which enabled him to re-live many fruitful experiences as a worker at Morehouse College. He saw himself as professor of mathematics; as football coach from 1905 to 1909, and again from 1912 to 1915. He rejoiced in the achievements of many of his former players and perhaps wondered what had become of the player whom he pulled out of a game because as coach he could not enjoy a crooked victory. He found much comfort in being able to talk with those who had been his students and colleagues. He would talk with various ones about their experiences when they knew him as teacher, coach,

acting president, purchasing agent, director of the Morehouse Summer School, dean a n d president. Mr. Archer talked about these positions not in terms of what they had brought to him but because of the great op portunity which they had offered him to help the college and to build men and friendships. Before finishing these talks he would almost invariably talk about the future of the college.
He never sought recognition for his services, yet recognition came: Morehouse awarded him the honorary degree of master of arts in 1923. In 1932 his Alma Mater awarded him the doctor of divinity degree. In 1938 an award came from the TwentySeven Club of Atlanta in honor of his outstanding contribution as a citizen. Under Mr. Archer's administration, which began in 1931, Morehouse received A rating from the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and completed its endowment campaign for $600,000.00.
Mr. Archer is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna Courtney Archer, a sister, Mrs. Rosa Harrison, who has lived with the family for several years, and three sons, who are graduates of Morehouse College. They are Samuel Howard, Jr. (M.B.A., New York University) , an instructor at Booker T. Washington High School and an assistant coach at Morehouse; Nelson Thomas (M.A., Columbia) a teacher at Prairie View College in Texas, now on leave for study at the University of Iowa; and Leonard Courtney (University of Toronto) teacher at Georgia ormal and Industrial College, Albany, Georgia.

Excerpts from Brief Addresses Delivered at Dr. Archer's Funeral
DR. MAYS: " . . . For more than 1900 years Christian theology has insisted that the cardinal sin of mankind is selfishness, - meaning that man makes himself the center of all that he thinks and all that he does; wherever he begins he ends in himseJ. But if the cardinal sin of mankind is selfishness, then the converse must be true: the cardinal virtue is unselfishness. And I stand before you today in the presence of my God, expressing the conviction that Samuel Howard Archer was as free of selfishness as any man I have ever known.
"Most of us love the limelight; most of us scramble for position, for prestige, for power; most of us insist that we get credit for all we do, from the dotting of the 'i' to the crossing of the 't'.' And some of us want credit or position or prestige or power when it has not been earned. It was never thus with this man. He was perfectly willing to be a friend, to be a teacher, to be a dean, to be a president without seeking the limelight, without seeking prestige. Perfectly willing to live and do his work unhonored and unsung. It must have been men like Samuel Howard Archer of whom Emerson spoke when he said, 'See how the mass of men worry themselves into nameless graves when here and there a great, unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality.' This man forgot himself into immortality...."
DR. HUBERT : ''. . . The deceased belonged to all of us. How universal was his thinking, how constant his activities. He was not simply interested in us here at Morehouse College, but his interest and his service were as broad as humanity. And those who knew him best and perhaps loved him most will, for a long time, feel a deep sense of loss.

MOREHOUSE ALUMNUS

"He could sum up hundreds of years in one word. It was his peculiar gift as a teacher. We shall remember him, we who were students of his, for his insistence on hard work. He demanded it, but with fatherly gentleness, so that he made us crave for the hard work which he assigned to
us to do. "We remember him also for his
power with men. ever have I seen him make an effort to have power over people. And so a life like this can never end with death.
''We remember his Christian life, his love, his genuine love for Jesus Christ, his loyalty to his church, his loyalty to and love for his family. And he made these narrow ways of life so attractive that we all would like to walk them.
"Now his life is grafted on the infinite and will be fruitful as no earthly life can be. Rather than wail and weep here, we give him a hearty cheer as he enters eternal life."
DR. CLEME T: " ... I well remember when a friend of Dr. Archer's, who had lived closely with him in Atlanta, said to me one day: 'There is a man whom the students love.' It is told on the campus at Morehouse that even though a boy has been called into the office and expelled, this boy leaves Dr. Archer's office with a feeling of relief knowing that he has been in the presence of a great man and a friend. I met him first in 1922 on this same campus. I sat one morning with him in this same room, and from that October day to this he has been an inspiration and a joy to
me. "We think of the great and illus-
trious men and women who have made this Morehouse campus a Mecca and a ew Jerusalem, and we call the names of White and Robert, Graves and Hope and Morehouse, Sale and Brawley. Yet each one who knows Samuel Howard Archer knows

that this name will stand as high and

as illustrious as any of these oth-

ers...."

DR. WATSO : ". . . It took me a

long time to learn that greatness

always finally is expressed in sim-

plicity. One of the teachers who

taught me that lesson was Mr. Archer.

"I saw him first forty-one years

ago at Colgate. I was a freshman

and he was a junior, and his simple

life and friendship made me feel at

home. He is an easy man to know

and easy to be at ease with.

"Dr. Dillard stated some years ago

in one of his pamphlets, 'the great-

est sin in the world is pretense.' I

never saw a man with so little pre-

tense. . . .

DR. CARTER: " ... Samuel Howard

Archer was a gentleman. Not after

the order of clothes, haberdashery,

but from the real meaning of 'gentle-

man': that he wanted nothing out of

life more than he put into it. That is

what a gentleman is....

"He was a teacher of mathematics

before he came here and he was a

teacher of mathematics here. . . .

Whenever you think about it he was

teaching principles when he was

teaching mathematics....

". . . He was loyal to his church.

It was not the thing for a man with

his education to do: to go to church.

He went to church when the boys had

to take him up in their arms and put

him up the steps. I shall lose a lot.

I have lost a lot, but I shall treasure

what I have gained from him."

"When I think of Mr. Archer, the first trait or quality that comes into my mind is his vigor of spirit. He was a whole person who put all of himself behind what he was saying and doing. His vitality and enthusiasm shone out in his words and in his actions. The next quality that comes to my mind is his straightforwardness and honesty. He spoke out

on the head. There was color and flavor in his comments and in his figures of speech. He was what I call a real person, one without sham or hypocrisy. He had shrewdness and keenness of mind and a great way of getting on with people. He was my friend and I shall miss him."
FLORE CE M. READ. This statement was prepared by President Read who could not get back from California in time to attend Mr. Archer's funeral.

"... He was a man who possessed a living and vigorous moral integrity of the most inspiring kind. For this I owe him the most precious debt which one man can owe to another. I shall be grateful to him as long as I live. I have named one of my sons after him and I shall continue to teach my students to know and revere

Honors Day Dr. Nathaniel P. Tillman, Chairman of the English Department at Morehouse College, was the speaker at the first semester's observance of Honors Day at Morehouse College on ovember 20. In his plea to the students to acquire scholarly attitudes, Dr. Tillman stated that "Although making good grades does not necessarily mean the making of a great career, in looking over the list of those who have gone out from this institution, I find comparatively few who stayed on the job, in the list of the fallen." Forty-three students were on the honor roll for the first semester of 1940-41, which was based on credits earned the second semester of 1939-40. Five of these students maintained an A average which is the highest that is attainable.

mathematical ability. In those days you would have a good class in higher mathematics one year and the next year you would hardly have a class. But I had one lone star the next year in the person of Dr. Huggins. He was so promising that I was willing to give the course for him alone. Another promising student was Dr. Nabrit, whom I taught College Algebra. I remember Dean Brazeal, a fourth-year academy student, who was showing great promise as a debater. He went out for the team in the fourth-year of the Academy. He did not quite make the team that year. He later made the team and went through as one of the able Morehouse debaters.
I came to Morehouse in 1921 for the express purpose of staying one year. I stayed three. There is another interesting thing about my coming to Morehouse. I graduated from Bates College the 25th of June, 1920, and got married one month later. I do not recommend this to you. When Mr. Hope came and asked me to come to Morehouse College, I told him I wanted to study three years without interruption. He said, "You think it over and write me in about ten days." He was offering me $1,200 for eight months' work - $150 a month. The more I thought of that $150, the more I found myself being drawn to Morehouse College. I soon realized that I didn't have money enough to study at the University of Chicago for the next two years. I realized, too, more than ever, that I was a married man. I told him I would come. I had to walk the streets of Chicago for two days to get someone to lend me money to come to Morehouse. A friend said to me, "Write Mr. Hope and tell him to send you your railroad fare." I replied by saying, "I would prefer to walk to Atlanta than to embarrass Mr. Hope and myself by borrowing

railroad fare." I finally found a man to go on a note for me at the bank. I borrowed the money and returned the amount out of my first check.
Though not a Morehouse graduate, I am marked as a Morehouse man all over the country. Somehow I have the mark of a Morehouse person. Just the other day, Mr. ewbold, of
orth Carolina, wrote me a letter of congratulation. He told me how fine it was to be honored by being called back to the presidency of my Alma Mater. Since the Board of Trustees did not see fit to call a President from among Morehouse men, they came as near to doing that as they could without actually doing so.
As I stand here talking to you this morning, I do it with considerable fear and trembling. When I realize what must be done for Morehouse College, the need of at least $1,000,000 more in endowment, the urgent physical needs such as homes for teachers, a new dormitory, chapel, academic building, and gymnasium; need of increase in staff and raise in salaries, and the pressing need of scholarships for worthy students, I stand before you with fear and trembling. I stand here with fear and trembling because I know what a great responsibility it is to try to direct the thinking and to develop the character of young people. It is serious enough when times are normal, but it is far more serious in times like these when the entire world seems to be going to pieces, when Iying is a virtue, when the murder of women and children is right, and when hypocrisy is considered the normal procedure. It is serious business to train young people in normal times, but in times like these it is enough to make one shudder. I shudder because the responsibilities of a college president are very great. I can choose what I say to you, what I do to you, and for you, but I can

7

COLLEGE NEWS AND ACTIVITIES

never choose the consequences of what I say or the consequences of what I do. I am talking to you this morning and the moment the words leave my lips they are beyond my control. I can only hope that what I say and do will be constructive.
What do I promise you? I make you no fantastic promises. I learned a long time ago that the less you promise, the less you have to take back. I do not even guarantee you that I am going to succeed in this office. My success here depends not only upon myself, but upon factors beyond my control. It depends upon the confidence, moral support, and good will that I am able to evoke from the public, both local and national. What I do here will largely determine the good will, the cooperation, the financial and moral support that we will be able to get from friends and graduates of Morehouse College. But more than that, what we do here will be determined in a large measure by the attitude of the members of the Board of Trusteestheir attitude toward me and the college. It will depend upon the kind of moral support, good will, and confidence that I am able to get from the affiliated institutions. It will also depend upon the support and loyalty of the Morehouse faculty. In the final analysis, it will depend upon the kind of cooperation I am able to get from you, the students. So I make you no fantastic promises as to what we will be able to do in this office. I am no miracle man. I am no magician. I am no trickster. I have no unusual, peculiar genius or power by which this job is to be done. I am <mly one of one hundred men that the Board of Trustees of Morehouse College might have chosen to do this job. I am just a plain, ordinary, blunt man depending for success in this position upon the kind of co.operation that I am able to get from

you. As I stand before you this morning, I solicit your confidence and cooperation.
But I do promise you one thing a I close: I promise you before my Maker, before God, that I will give to Morehouse College all that I have. I will give to this institution and to you the best of my mind, heart and soul. I will give to thi institution my money until it reaches the sacrificial point. In other words, I will serve you and I will serve this institution as if God Almighty sent me into the world for the specific purpose of being the Sixth President of Morehouse College. I will give you everything. I will not cheat on you. I will not work by the clock. I will do more than draw my breath and my salary. I will serve you with the same dignity and with the same pride that Franklin D. Roosevelt serves the people of the United States. This is all that I can promise you. I will give you everything. I will be honest with you. When I reach the point where I cannot serve you this way, when the time comes when I cannot give you the best of my mind, soul, heart, time and energy, I will pass my resignation in to the members of the Board of Trustees. I pledge you this on the 18th day of September, 1940; and, God helping me, I can do no other!
The Needs of Morehouse College I hope every graduate, former student, and friend of Morehouse College will consider seriously these needs which I will name without regard to order, except numbers one and two which are the most urgent. l. For several years the offer of the
General Education Board has gone unmatched. The offer is that the Board will give Morehouse College $400,000 for endowment

COLLEGE NEWS AND ACTIVITIES

(Continued from Page 8) provided we raise $400,000. We have only eighteen months more in which to raise this amount. Once it is raised we will be able to do several things that are exceeding!y urgent. a. We will be in a position to in-
crease the staff of Morehouse College. The teaching staff of Morehouse has not been increased in eleven years. In fact, the Morehouse teaching staff is sixteen per cent less now than it was eleven years ago in 1929, while the teaching staffs of the affiliated institutions have been greatly increased. It should seem clear to the most careless observer that it is most unfortunate if the other institutions can expand and Morehouse cannot. Morehouse should be able to contribute as much as it receives in the affiliation. b. If the endowment campaign succeeds we will be in a position to increase the salaries of our teachers, all of whom are paid too little and many of whom have not received an increase in salary for a decade or more.
c. The success of this campaign will enable us to give scholarships to worthy students. Morehouse College receives only $40.00 a year for scholarships. The scholarships we do give are drains on the college income. We give a student a tuition scholarship which means we do not collect the tuition, thus reducing the possible income to the college. We need at least $200,000 in Scholarship money, which, properly invested, might yield $8,000 a year to be used in scholarships for worthy stu-

dents who cannot go to college without some aid. d. It would enable us to do some necessary repairs which at present we cannot do . 2. Income on investments is likely to shrink any time. The University of Chicago has been going in the red over $1,000,000 a year owing to the shrinkage of income on endowment. There is only one possible way for private institutions to offset a shrinkage of this kind. They must get a large number of friends who will give small sums to the college each year. Morehouse College must succeed, therefore, in getting enough individuals and churches to agree to give the college small sums each year. If we could realize $10,000 a year through this means, the college would be in a position to give as much as it receives in the affiliation.
3. A new dormitory is an urgent need. Graves Hall is not only getting very old but we need at least three dormitories to house our men-one new one in addition to Robert and Graves Halls.
4. As the University expands, there may be need of constructing a dining hall for Morehouse men.
5. There is hardly anything so urgent as a chapel devoted wholly to religion and worship. The present chapel is good for daily assembly but not inducive to real worship and devotion.
6. It is obvious to all that an undergraduate college of approximately ~00 men needs a modern gymnasium.
7. An academic building is quite necessary. Sale Hall is inadequate and will become more so in the years to come.
8. More and more we must depend upon Morehouse men to encour-

age able and promising students to come to the college. 9. An apartment house that would provide family units for seven or eight Morehouse teachers is an urgent need. If Morehouse College is to be a strong, vital organic unit in the affiliation, numbers one and two must be considered immediate and urgent, and in a long range program, all of these items must be envisaged. Morehouse College's graduates, students, and friends can help in several ways: a. They can give to the endow-
ment and to current expense. b. They can get their friends to
give. c. They can send us the names and
addresses of people of means who might be influenced to give to Morehouse College. d. They can send us the names and addresses of worthy high school graduates and use their influence to get them to matriculate in Morehouse College. The graduates of Morehouse should increasing!y become the greatest feeder for the college. Please respond immediately to items one and two. We hope that the New Year will bring to all of our graduates, former students, and friends, health, success, happiness and peace.

Forums This year, for the second time, the Department of Sociology at Morehouse College cooperated with the Division of egro Affairs of the ational Youth Administration of Georgia in sponsoring a series of forums on Negro problems. Mr. Bernard Robinson of the Sociology Department assisted with the Forums in the absence of Professor W. R. Chivers, chairman of the Department of Sociology and inaugurator of these forums, who is on leave to study at

ew York University. Ten men who are authorities in their several fields were selected as forum speakers. They were President Benjamin E. Mays, of Morehouse College; President Rufus E. Clement, of Atlanta University; President Horace Mann Bond, of Fort Valley State College, Georgia; Attorney A. T. Walden, Atlanta; Mr.
Forrester B. Washington, Director of
the Atlanta University School of Social Work; Drs. William H. Dean, W . E. B. DuBois, Ira DeA. Reid, of Atlanta University; Mr. W. L. James, of the Spelman College Music De-
partment; and Dr. C. D. Hubert,
of Morehouse College. The speakers discussed a range of subjects dealing with the Negro in politics, religion, and music; unemployment in Negro life; population problems and housing among Negroes, and Iegro social service organizations. One thousand and forty-seven persons attended these forums.
The University Players Moss Hart and George Kaufman's play "You Can't Take It With You" was presented by the University Players on November 1 and 2, 1940. The play was produced under the direction of Miss Anne Cooke who returned to Spelman College after two years of study in the Yale University School of Drama. The University Players organization is composed of students of Morehouse, Spelman, and Atlanta University.

In the fall of 1940 the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin, acting upon the recommendation of the Department of English, voted to confer the doctor of philosophy degree upon athaniel P. Tillman,

because there is nothing that he likes to do better than take walks with students and faculty members, join a group on the campus or have a few students come to his home. His effective teaching has enabled many stu-
