Phase II
Spelman, like many other institutions has traditions and customs that are treasured
and revered. Many of these traditions were initiated by Miss Read, a graduate of Mt.
Holiyoke College.
Every Spelmanite should knowthat:
The "Campus Bell" was used to On the first Sunday one spent at The school colors were and are start and end each day of school. It Spelman as a freshman, she was blue and white and the Motto, also rang at night to indicate it was required to attend group morning "Our Whole School for Christ", time to turn out the lights and go to services at the Friendship Baptist bed. Spelman women were often Church. It was in the basement asked "Are you from Spelman? I say, of this church that Spelman had "FromSpelmanWheretheBellfrom itshumblebeginningApril11,1881.
Packard Beckonsto You?"
Little Sister-Big Sister relationships Another concept initiated as the biffer dates back to the beginning when EVERY sister idea. member of the Junior Class would adopt At Christmas, names were chosen and a freshman as her littlesister. each person did something nice for her
biffer sister all week, and before leaving for Christmas each person would present herbifferwith asmallgift.
The Class colors orignally were:
]i SENIORS: Color Blue Emblem Owl

Jt JUNIORS:ColorYellow Emblem The Sphinx )2 SOPHOMORE: Color Red Emblem Eagle R1 FRESHMAN:ColorGreen Emblem Lamp When a class graduated, its colors
ns
and emblem became the property Jo of the in-coming freshman class.
FOUNDER'S DAY On April 11,
wreaths were placed on the plaquesof the founders, Miss Sophia Packard, and Miss Harriet Giles in Packard Hall.
Everyone made a contribution to the school through a Founder's Day Rally. Since it was the College's birthday, each member of the family and friends pre sented gifts. All participated and each class presented songs the day before.
On Founder's Day everyone wore white
dresses and participated in theceremony.
Each year there was a Thanks giving Rally at which time funds are contributed. These funds
were
given to the Community Chest, the world University Serv ice and to Spelman graduates
who were Missionaries in Africa
and Pakistan. Food baskets were
also donated to needy families in thecommunity.
The Class of '41 began the trad>iti ition associated with the SENIOR
BENCH. It symbolized our ties with irlt the past. The bench was made from liq pieces of beams of the barracks
;Hi that first raised Spelman on its
|iq present site. Only Seniors are perim mitted to use this bench.
The Ivy Oration was delivered at the Class day exercises by the Senior with the highest scholastic average. At the
end of the exercise she planted the ivy
beside one of the buildings as a contribution tothe beautyofthe campus.
After you have completed Spelman you were permitted to pass under the Alumnae Arch which symbolized your leaving these halls of learning and going intotheworld to renderservices.

Registration
Long lines.
Busy people.
Confusion towards completion.
We go through the same procedure every year hoping that the next year will be different. But,
as we
proceed, we believe in the cause. Classes, heads in the books and expecting that final and glorious victory Graduation.

Dorm
MAY I BORROW YOUR ?
...
You haven't lived if you haven't resided in the dorms of the Spel
man
College campus. Not to be compared to the Waldorf-Astoria, or the Regency Hyatt House, but
somewhere to keep dry out of the rain, and somewhere to sit and talk to male friends who have no apartment and no means of trans portation. The dorm is a place to associate and acquaint oneself with all members of the insect world and even some rodents now and
then. Its a place to study in quiet, except when Earth, Wind and Fire, and K.C. and the Sunshine Band
are
not being blasted from your neighbors Panasonic amplifiers. The dorm is a place of intense heat
in winter and summer or depending
upon the dorm, maybe frigid cool
ness in each of the four seasons.
24

Life
Dormitory life acquaints its te nants with cold showers at 7:00
a.m. and scalding hot water while brushing your teeth.
Looking at dorm life, putting aside the usual complaints that are often exaggerated, the dormitory sym bolizes peaceful harmony between women who at night find them selves chatting and exchanging helpful pieces of information.
Whether you lived in McAlpin, Chadwick, James, Abbey, Bessie Strong, Howard Harreld, Manley, McVicar or Packard Hall, dormitory life is an unforgettable experience to be treasured for years to come.
25


Study
College is the place you come to learn all about the things that will mold and shape you into a well versed, intelligent citizen. A
storehouse of knowledge to be used and exhausted by the stu dents whoenroll.
Spelman has for its women a well-rounded and well versed fa
culty that is able to help its young women tackle and under stand the problems of the acade mic world. Reading and research facilities are available for exten
sive knowledge on just about any subject matter conceivable. Usually at Spelman, study comes to be a last minute occasion.
Around exam time everybody is busy with dictionary and notebook in hand. Libraries are over-crowd
ed and reading rooms have wait ing lines. Brilliant minds start to work and creative genuises planfor extraordinary projects that are
both innovative and original. The mind is a beautiful thing and many beautiful minds can be seen work
ing on "the Yard".
Academics
Engineers, Economists, Sociolo gists, Psychologists, Teachers, Wri ters, Historians, Linguists, Mathe
maticians and Politicians all are be ing molded right on the campus of Spelman College. Tomorrows fu ture lies in the hands of Spelman
women
and with hard study and intense academic training, there can be seen great hope for the future.
An education is a thing of beauty,
may it lastforever!


BLACK ARTS FESTIVAL
The Black Arts Festival provided fun,music,meatsandplentyto "look at." Arts and crafts, jewelry, paintings and original ideas from creative Black people in the city of Atlanta.

POST OFFICE
NOBODY EVER WRITES ME A LET
TER ....
Looking for mail and never writ ing a letter; finding telephone bills and bad grade reports; trying to buy
a
stamp with the window closed; wanting your package without your
I.D. these are the hassles of the
Post Office. A daily rush to the mail-room, forgetting combinations only remembering them to find a notice about Chapel on Thursday. The Post Office; disappointment and sur prises from the United States Pos
tal Service.

BOOKSTORE
WHAT?? NO MORE BENSON AND HEDGES MENTHOL?
Supplier of cigarettes, paper, pens, pencils and believe it or not books. The Engineers Book Store saves you a walk to the store for candy and gum when things just have to be that way. Gathering place
for friends to meet and a storehouse
of knowledge as well. Filled with the tools needed to build a better education. Smiles and friendly faces
always greet you in the Bookstore no matter what you buy. Be it a
Delta T-shirt, a desk calendar or nothing at all.

SNACK BAR
ONE EGG MC SPELMAN,
PLEASE!
Whatever you're hungry for,
you'll find it in the Spelman Snack
Shop. A relief from the ordinary,
entering into a world of quarter
pounders, golden brown french
fries and hot apple pies. It saves
the long walk to McDonalds and
is the convenience of the year. With
James Brown blarring in the back ground you can chat with friends and munch on health foods and
fruit without even leaving off the
campus. How about a mushroom
pizza for a late night snack? Sounds
Good.

CAFETERIA
MEAT LOAF Again?!
Complaints, complaints, and more complaints, but never an empty din ing room. You can smell the fish every Friday and the chicken every Sunday; too poor to eat out and suffering through the agony of another Spelman meal. Never sa tisfied and continuing to eat is the story of the Spelman Cafeteria. Well
balanced meals, but not what you want when you want it and not quite how Mom cooked it at home. A journey three times a day only to see the same thing you saw
the week before. (At least you aren't
starving).

M.L.K. March for Full Employment

January 15,1976
This year Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday celebration was more than a festive occasion. It was a state ment to America, to the Government, to the CIA, to the FBI and to those that decide the fate of the millions of unemployed; that poor people and Black people will no longer tolerate massive unemployment. We stood up for the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so eloquently stated in the
Constitution. We realized that unemployment is a direct threat to the gains made by Dr. King. Each campus
in the Atlanta University Center was active in helping to make this year's celebration of Dr. King's birthday a meaningful and penetrating instrument for the upliftment of Black people from the hardship of unemployment. Opposite page: Seven thousand students from all campuses of the Atlanta University Center marched and sangsongsin anefforttofulfillDr.King'sDream.

The tradition of excellence is legendary in the Spelman college Glee Club. In fact, the musical
heritage of Spelman College is renowned, as it is inextricably entwined in the history of this famed institution and steeped in the hearts of its alumnae.
For approximately thirty-three years, Dr. Willis Laurence James carefully trained group after group of splendid singers, some of whom now are outstanding musicians in their own rights. Not only did Dr. James produce a vocally excellent ensemble, but he also wrote numerous compositions and arranged many Negro spirituals for the Glee Club and for the Atlanta-Morehouse-Spelman Chorus. Dr. James, the Glee Club Director, was known for his research and publications in Afro-American music.
After Dr. James' death in December, 1966, Dr. Grace B. Smith assumed the chairmanship of the department and, along with a colleague, directed the Glee Club's activities until the academic year ended.
The present director, Dr. Roland L. Allison, joined the Music Faculty as Professor of Music in 1967. After a year of absence, 1970-71, when Mr. Aldrich Adkins directed the Spelman College Glee Club, Dr. Allison returned to Spelman in 1971 as Chairman of the Department
of Music and Director of the Glee Club.
During Dr. Allison's tenure the Glee Club has maintained its high-quality performances and has continued the tradition of excellence in choral work. He has been a highly successful
Voice Teacher and Choral Director for more than twenty years and had no difficulty in carrying the ensemble to new heights of precision and tasteful interpretation by an enthusiastic aggregation of studentsfrom all areas ofthe college.
The Glee Club makes an annual tour of major cities of the North, the Mid-West, the East, and the Southeast. During this present academic year, an ensemble selected from the Glee Club traveled to Brazil, South America, where its members received great acclaim for their fine singing.
The excellent accompanist for the Glee Club is Dr. Joyce Finch Johnson, the College Organist. Dr. Johnson is a splendid concert artist who joined the Spelman College Music Faculty in 1953. After a period of absence for doctoral study, Dr. Johnson returned to Spelman in 1967 and
has continued her career of excellence, firmly supported by a great talent.
The Fine Arts and the Glee Club, in particular have always enjoyed the enthusiastic support of Dr. Albert E. Manley, President of Spelman. Especially since 1967, the Glee Club and Dr. Manley have shared an obvious bond of mutual devotion, and the strength of this
bond remains great
now.

The Spelman Belles
The Spelman Belles a group of twelve young women selected from the Spelman College Glee Club
represented Spelman College with its participation in the 1975 Exchange sponsored by the Georgia Partners of the Americas. Dr. Joyce F. Johnson
of the Spelman Music Faculty is on the Board of Directors of this organization. The group traveled to Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, and to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

Fads
...
To witness a debut in the latest fashions one can
come on
the campus and get an eyefull as well as getting yourself together on your own wardrobe. Most of the women take painstaking efforts to keep them selves equipped in the most colorful, appealing, fan tastic"rags" thatanyone might want.
You might see a variety of styles from fadish knickers and wrinkle ankle boots to jeans jumpsuits and
tarns to long skirts and furs. If the wear exists, you can find it here at Spelman.

DRAMATIC GROWTH, CHANGES
Dr. Albert E. ManleyEnds 23 Years at Spelman
Student sit-ins and demonstrations, Even Manley's retirement plans are most of the studentslearned primarily j
civil rights marches and an image as a "finishing school" for middle-class black women all are part of Spelman College's history.
And many of the dramatic moments and changes occurred at Spelman while the Atlanta school was under the
leadership of Dr. Albert E. Manley, who will retire in June after 22 years as
president of the predominantly black women's institution. Manley came to
Spelman in 1953 from North Carolina College (now North Carolina Central University) in Durham, where he was
dean of arts and sciences.
At that time, although considered a "pet" among black colleges because of its association with the Rockefeller
family, Spelman had only 454 students, 54 faculty members and 18 buildings,and operated more than $475,000.
Since then, enrollment has increased to 1,200 students from 38 states and 14 foreign countries; there are 100 faculty members, half of them holdingdoctoral degrees; the campus' physicalplant has been expanded with five new buildings and renovation of other buildings; and the school's budget for the 1975-76 school year is $6.2 million.
"Spelman College is no longer an Atlanta school," Manley said in an in terview. "It's no longer a Georgia
school. It's no longer a regional school. It's a national institution."
Manley was the first black and the first man to head the 94-year-oldschool.
Amid all the flurry of finding a suc cessor, Manley continues to carry on the college's day-to-day operations, as well as help set policy for Spelman by sitting on its board of trustees.
linked to Spelman. He plans to up date the history of the school, written by Dr. Florence Matilda Read, who preceded Manley as president.
"More has happened in the 22 years of my tenure than in the pre vious 72 years of the college's exis tence," Manley said, "not so much be cause I happened to be president, but just becauseofthe mood ofthetimes."
"I went through the student revolts and when students locked in the
trustees, and activities of that nature," he said.
Manley's tenure also includes days when students demonstrated and
marched in Atlanta after the death of
Martin Luther King, Jr., narrowly es caping a confrontation with National Guardsmen at the State Capitol.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, there was a big gap between students and college administrators of the six schools within the Atlanta University complex, Manley said.
"There was a time when someone
over 25 years old couldn't tell a stu dent anything. Today you have a sit uation that is quite different. They're cracking the books again. They're do ing the things they wantto do, but they aren'tjust demonstration-conscious."
Manley sought to dispel the idea of Spelman as a "finishing school" for young, middle-class black women an image that has been with the school since 1881, when two northern white
women interested in providing an
education for southern blacksfounded
the college.
Part of that image was due to an emphasis on being accepted by the local white community. At one time, about etiquette, grooming, and be
pa
coming a housekeeper.
pc
'
"Today Spelman students are much ] tai morecareer-minded,"Manleysaid. tru "Upon graduation in June, about 50!
l
per cent of our girls will be goingu U either to medical, dental, law or en-n
[At!
gineering school," and many others s; in will go into teaching and other liberal i Ro
arts
areas, he said.
But the image of Spelman as an a fra elitist institution is unfounded because 3>

80 per cent of the students come from j ;of homes where the average family in-hi come is between $7,000 and $9,000 a j
year, Manley said. I
Therefore, a great part of Spelmam 'Spestudents' college finances are provided! > prewith the help of federal grants andt i :h scholarship money, he noted. pos
Manley said another myth associated enc with the school is that it receives am
and abundance of financial support from
: the Rockefeller Foundation, especially
li
over the other five schools in the con-ilc
sortium.
The Rockefeller family has been as-;
sociated with Spelman since 1882,1 * when philanthropist John D. Rocke-: feller was persuaded to pay off the ; mortgage on the financially plagued i
school.
Spelman's name comes from the
allc
maiden name of the wife of the late i
bea
Laurance Rockefeller. However,
ItcoRockefeller money has gone to all of:j
j
the schoolswithin the A.U. center,
"People make the mistake of think-fii ing because Spelman is named for the family of the first John D. Rockefeller it gets just all kinds of money from the Rockefeller Foundation," Manley:u said.
"Spelman has been fortunate to have a close relationship with the Rockefeller family. A member of that
family has been on the board of trustees since 1884, but up until three
years ago, when we started our first national fund-raising campaign, Atlanta University was the school with in the complex which received more Rockefeller dollars/'
Manley said he has divorced himself
from the search for his successor.
He is not one of the seven members
of the search committee sifting
through the 200 applications the board
of trustees has received.
There has been speculation that Spelman may get its first black female president. Manley said he would favor having a black woman take over his position, providing she "is strong enough to protect Spelman's interests
and at the same time work with the
other schools within the consortium."
"I think the chances of Spelman getting a black female head are fairly good," he said, "because with the
women's liberation movement there
has been more of an acceptance for women to move into the middle ad
ministrative and upper administrative positions." "I think there is a great deal of talk all over the county that there should
be a young black woman to take over.
It could happen."
Manley also said he would like to
see more trustees on Spelman's 21member board and two or three mem bers who have high visibility in the corporate world to help bring in more corporate contributionsto the school's
endowment fund.

Albert E. Manley Becomes Spelman's Fifth President
The Inauguration Service which inducted Dr. Albert E. Manley as
the fifth president of Spelman Col lege took place at three o'clock on Thursday, April 22, 1954 in Sisters Chapel. It was a solemn, sedate,
sacramental and impressive occasion.
In President Manley's Inaugural Ad dress he spoke earnestly, moderately and expressively about his aims and idealsfor Spelman College.
At the conclusion of this stirring
address, Dr. Trevor Arnett read a
telegram of congratulations from Miss Florence M. Read, President Emeritus of Spelman College, sent from Sevilla, Spain.
The Benediction was pronounced
by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Minister of Ebenezer Baptist Church.
With the installation of Dr. Manley
as its fifth President, Spelman College began a new era in the seventy-third year of its illustrious existence as a higher institution for the training of Negro women.
He is the first male president of
Spelman College and the first Negro to head the institution.
President Manley emphasized in his inaugural address that he regards character building as even more urgent than the cultivation of the
mind!

Physical Expansion Characterizes
Manley Years
Spelman College is a going concern. Its campus has been called the "loveli est in Atlanta." It is located close to
the heart of the city and is adjacent to the other colleges of the Atlanta University Center. Spelman has a quiet beauty because of open spaces, grassy areas and a canopy of foliage. Many of its buildings date back to the turn of the century and have, in general,
been well-maintained.
Four newer buildings have been added to the Spelman campus since Dr. Manley has been president. These buildings include three dormitories: Sally Sage McAlpin Hall, Dorothy Shepard Manley Hall and Howard-
Harreld Hall; and the Albert E. Manley
College Center. Spelman students are very fortunate to have the addition of the newer
housing facilities and the College Cen ter which has become an integral part
of student activities. All of the build
ings have made student life just that much easier.


Manley's Fund Raising Abilities
Among His Greatest Assets
Spelman serves a very special group of people for very special reasons. The college was born out
of slavery, segregation, and dis crimination; but these negative rea sons for its existence have dis
appeared or are disappearing. What is left is an ability and a moti vation to offer an excellent educa tion to black women. In this we
have experience. In this we have expertise. There are 2,600 institutions of higher education in our nation. Hundreds have the special purpose
of serving religious and ethnic groups. We believe that there is room for one college that wishes only to be of the first rank and to devote all its energies to pro viding a dynamic undergraduate
education for black women the
type of education that directs them
to
leadership. It is special group we have
a
chosen to serve, and Spelman must be far more than a college as good
as
any other; it must be the very best college for the special group it has chosen to serve.
