Where the flow'rs are gems of loveliness,

Activities

The building of a great college is the result of many things. Among these
are, leadership, dedicated faculty, good students and good Alumni.

On Savannah State's faculty roster are the names, William B. Nelson and C.
Vernon Clay. These two men have devoted themselves to the unselfish task of
fashioning great students. Their success has been phenomenal. Throughout the
state of Georgia and the United States, their students are rendering a great serv-
ice to mankind.

Since they have so greatly enriched the lives of so many, it is with humble-
ness that we dedicate THE 1962 TIGER to William B. Nelson and C. Vernon
Clay.

"But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour?

And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho
and fell among robbers, who also stripped him and having wounded him went
away, leaving him half dead.

And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him
passed by.

In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by.

But a certain Samaritan, being on his journey, came near him: and seeing him,
was moved with compassion:

And going Up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and set-
ting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn and took care of him.

And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take
care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I at my return,
will repay thee.

Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the
robbers?

But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do
thou in like manner."

St. Luke XI, 29-37
(Douay Rheims version translated from the Latin Vulgate.)

FORE WORD

"The song is ended, but the melody lin-
gers on." College days past so swiftly. How
sweet yet, so sad.

For those who would like to reminisce
over the activities and achievements of the
Savannah State College family, The 1962
Tiger captures these memories in its com-
pilation of the most memorable days of
1961-62 at Savannah State College.

PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COLLEGE

Savannah State College, a unit of the University System of Georgia, is a college
of applied arts and sciences, teacher education, business administration and indus-
trial technology.

The college has two main purposes. It affords students an opportunity to acquire
an education that will enable them to live effectively in a democratic society. It
provides continuing educational and cultural services for the people of Georgia.

A worth-while education, as the faculty conceives it, demands the full, rounded
development of the individual. Consistent with this large purpose the institution has
several major objectives. Specifically, the total college program is designed to help
students:

1. To gain basic preparation, personal qualities, and skills which are essential alike
to further study, earning a living, and personal well-being;

2. To understand the nature of mental, emotional, and physical health and to
practice habits conducive to sound personal and community health;

3. To attain a sharp awareness of social and civic responsibility and live daily as
good citizens;

4. To understand the common phenomena of man's physical environment and
use scientific advances for human welfare;

5. To cherish a discerning knowledge of man's cultural heritage, respect for for-
eign peoples and cultures, and aesthetic appreciation to the creative artistic
expressions of the human spirit;

6. To know and live by those moral and spiritual values which refine and exalt
human life.

To attain these objectives the college (a) offers formal instruction organized
within seven divisions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural
Sciences, Social Sciences, Technical Sciences, Home Study; (b) selects and upgrades
teachers, counsellors, personnel workers, administrative and auxiliary services per-
sonnel; (c) gives students due responsibility in making their own educational deci-
sions and performing work-aid duties, participating in government of the college,
extra-class activities, campus life, and religious services; (d) draws upon all avail-
able intellectual, cultural, technical, and spiritual resources to enrich the lives of
students.

Briefly then, every teacher, every facility, every arrangement here serves two
main purposes. It is that boys and girls may develop into mature men and women
who live effectively in the community, the state, and nation. It is that life may
be made richer for the people of Georgia.

ADMINISTRA TIVE OFFICERS

The successful operation of a large college is so complex that it is necessary
for the president to divide its operation into several phases and appoint an officer
to take charge of each phase. There are seven of these officers at Savannah State
and the following paragraphs will give brief descriptions of their duties.

The Dean of Faculty is in charge of the instructional phase of the college.
Matters of academic adjustment and progress of students curriculum and faculty
personnel are handled through his office.

The Comptroller handles all business affairs of the college. Financial matters,
student accounts and expenses are among the many duties of his office.

The Registrar is in charge of registration and admission into the college. Mat-
ters concerning catalogs, transcripts, information about admission, courses offered
and graduation requirements are some of the duties of his office.

The Librarian is in charge of the library and its many functions. He must
keep the volumes in the library up to date with well selected books, newspapers
and periodicals.

The Chairman of Student Personnel Services is concerned with the personal
welfare of students, housing and work-aid assistance. His duties also include ap-
proving all student campus affairs and directing the Student Health Service.

The Director of Public Relations is responsible for the college's general infor-
mation program. Publications, institutes, radio and TV programs are but a few
of his many responsibilities.

The Alumni Secretary is in charge of matters pertaining to alumni affairs.
He makes frequent visits to alumni chapters throughout the country to keep them
abreast of the college's program. Alumni publications and organizing alumni chap-
ters are but two of his many responsibilities.

The true lover of learning is he that hath a lust to labor and a will to take pains. For if a child have all the benefits of
nature, with perfection of the memory, love, like, and praise learning never so much, yet if he be not of himself painful he
shall never attain unto it. And yet where love is present, labor is seldom absent and namely in study of learning and mat-
ters of the mind. The Scholemaster, Ascham

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty. And learning teacheth safely when experience maketh
more miserable than wise. He hazardeth sore that waxeth wise by experience. An unhappy master he is that is made cunning

Another educational error is an impatience of doubt, and haste to assertion without due and mature suspension of judg-
ment. These two ways are commonly spoken of by the ancients: the one smooth in the beginning but impassable in the
end; the other rough in the entrance but fair after a while. If a man begin with certainties he will end with doubt; but if
he begin with doubts he shall end in certainties. Bacon

Men have abandoned universality, or philosophia prima; which cannot but cease and stop all progression. For no perfect
discovery can be made upon a flat or a level. Neither is it possible to discover the more remote and deeper parts of any
science, if you stand but upon the level of the same science, and ascend not to a higher science. Bacon

And I do not mean by all this, my talk, that young gentlemen should always be poring on a book, and, by using good
studies, should leave honest pleasure and haunt no good pastime. I mean nothing less. For it is well known that I both like
and love, and have always, and do yet still use, all exercises and pastimes that befit for my nature and ability.

Robert McClellan and Dandy Tay-

research. The modern air-condi-

College affords the student body
many opportunities to augment
classroom instruction.

If ye suffer the eye of a young gentleman once to be entangled with vain sights and the ear to be corrupted with fond
or filthy talk, the mind shall quickly fall sick. And being once englutted with vanity, he will straightway loath all learning
and all good counsel to the same. And Parents, for all their great cost and charge, reap only in the end the fruit of grief
and care. The Scbolemaster, Ascham

On January 16, 1908, on the campus of Howard University Alpha Kappa Alpha was born
born to perpetuate the highest ideals of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. This idea
of the first Negro Greek letter Sorority was envisioned by Ethel Hedgeman, a junior at Howard
University! The idea was first conceived as an instrument to enrich the social and intellectual
aspects of college life, however, as the setting changed and new stimuli developed, her function-
ing has become more complex and involved.

Soror Hedgeman discussed her idea with eight other junior and senior girls receiving their

suggestions and counter proposals until definite plans for the establishment of the organization

were drawn up and presented to the University administration. Because the founders were

juniors and seniors, seven sophomore girls who possessed the desired qualifications of seriousness, studiousness, and responsibility

were taken into the sorority without initiation to insure its continuity.

The first ritualistic initiation was held on February 1 1, 1909. There were four members in the first "line." Thus, Alpha Kappa Alpha
had twenty members representative of its twenty pearls. On January 13, 1913 the sorority was incorporated as a perpetual body.
It now has chapters all over America and in Africa.

Since the founding and incorporating of the sorority, it has undertaken many projects to help humanity. Some of the outstand-
ing ones being the Vocational Guidance Project, the Study of Negro Life and History, the Mississippi Health Project, and the
National Non-Partisan Lobby on Civic and Democratic Rights. Presently the sorority has four National Projects. They are American
Council on Human Rights, Scholarship, Housing, and Health. In the field of health, research on sickle cell anemia is the current
project.

The official journal of the sorority is the Ivy Leaf. The sorority does not maintain a pledge club, but an interest group. This
group is called the Ivy Leaf Club and is composed of girls who aspire for membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Gamma Upsilon chapter was established in the fall of 1949. Soror Evanell R. Terrell was influential in getting the chapter on
this campus. Soror Mary Williams assisted in the first initiation. The local chapter participates in the national projects on the local
bases. Each quarter it sponsors some type of civic project in the field of health, at the end of the school year an achievement plaque
is awarded, and an annual assembly program is presented.

More than fifty-five years ago at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, one of the most important meetings in Negro history
was taking place. Seven valiant Negro students, drawn together by their mutual feeling for the need of an organization which would
bind Negro students together, organized Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-letter organization.

Delta Eta Chapter of Savannah State College has strived unceasingly to uphold "manly deeds, scholarship and love for all man-
kind," the aims of Alpha Phi Alpha. During the past eleven years of existence on Savannah State's campus, the men of Delta Eta
have made unlimited and significant contributions in all fields of endeavor.

The Park shown in the picture on this page was built by the chapter and dedicated to the two deceased brothers, Toland J. Col-
lier and Elijah J. La Marr on April 28, 1959, the tenth anniversary of the chapter.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was founded in 1913 at Howard University by twenty-two undergraduate students. They vis-
ualized an organization whose aims would be something more serious than social activity. They longed to see developed a union
of college women based on certain cardinal principles and pledged to uphold lofty ideals. These women brought together college
women of life potentialities and dedicated to the same ideals and purposes. Such was the beginning of Delta Sigma Theta.

Springing from a small nucleus of kindred souls as have all great movements in the world's history, Delta Sigma Theta has
grown steadily until today its life line stretches beyond the United States to Haiti and Liberia. Today there are 263 chapters whose
thousands of members, pledged to the highest ideals of womanhood, of scholarship, and of service are making worthy contributions
toward the building of a better world.

In 1930 Delta Sigma Theta was incorporated as a national organization. Many individual chapters are today incorporated bodies
in their respective States.

As the Sorority works on its major national projects, as it gives scholarships and fellowships to worthy students, it strives to
realize its purpose. There is constant effort to help its members learn how to work together in such a manner as to bring about
better understanding and develop wholesome relationships.

Delta Sigma Theta has a significant history. Day by day its members continue to be makers of history.

In 1911, three young men, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman, conceived the idea of founding a National Ne-
gro College Fraternity. A fraternity whose mother chapter could be at Howard University, their Alma Mater, but whose influence
would spread to all the Negro youth of America. The young men discussed the matter many times, and as a result concluded that
they should have some guidance. Brother Cooper at once suggested Professor Just, Associate Professor of Biology, who seemed to him
to have a keen appreciation for the problems of youth. The next day after class was out, while working in the laboratory, Cooper
discussed the matter with the young professor, who readily consented to serve as an advisor.

On Friday evening, November 17, 1911, the night sacred to all Omega men, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was born. The four
cardinal principles agreed upon at this meeting were Scholarship, manhood, Perseverance, and Uplift. The motto, "Friendship is es-
sential to the soul," was symbolized by the words Omega Psi Phi, the equivalent words of the motto in Greek.

On October 28, 1914, the laying of the foundation was formally completed when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was incorpo-
rated by the United States Congress under the laws governing the District of Columbia. The incorporators were Edgar A. Love
Grand Basileus; Oscar J. Cooper Grand Keeper of Records; and Frank Coleman Grand Keeper of Seals.

From that one undergraduate chapter (Alpha Chapter) the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has a roster of 270 chapters. From a mem-
bership of three in 1911, Omega has a membership of more than 20,000. Beginning at the capital of the nation, Omega has spread
into the East, into the North and then the South, into Canada, and finally into the West. Every state in the Union has had some
sons of Omega to carry her ideals of Brotherhood, of Scholarship, Manhood, Courage and Uplift.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority was organized on the campus of Howard University, Washington, D. C, January 1920. The five found-
ers, all of whom are still living, are Arizona Cleaver Stemons, Viola Tyler Goings, Pearl Neal, Fannie Pettie Watts (Of Savan-
nah) and Myrtle Tyler Faithful. Soror Stemons has the honor of being the first president of the organization.

The objectives of finer womanhood, sisterly love and scholarship have brought together women from all parts of the country
women who have similar tastes and aspirations, similar potentialities for highest attainments, and similar desires for concerted ac-
tion that result in progress especially in the field of academic and literary attainments.

The name of the official organ of the sorority is the Archon. The pledge club is known as the Archonian Club. The Archonian is
composed of young women who are or have matriculated in accredited colleges and who are aspiring to membership in the sorority.

Rho Beta Chapter participates as far as possible in all of the national programs of the sorority. Its contribution to the control
and prevention of juvenile delinquency is an annual party at Thanksgiving time for the children of the Greenbriar Children's Cen-
ter. We also assist the local graduate chapter with its city-wide story hour program during Finer Womanhood Week. On the Cam-
pus we have an annual assembly program, award the Anne W. Jordon Prize annually to the freshman girl with the highest aver-
age for the fall quarter, entertain all campus sorority women at the All-Greek reception during Finer Womanhood Week.

The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity has a distinguished history. It was founded in the nation's capital in 1914
by three inspired souls from three corners of the land A. Langston Taylor from Tennessee, Leonard F. Morse
from Massachusetts and Charles I. Brown from Kansas. These men were then students at Howard University.

The first years were the glorious years of awakening and early growth. There was the thrill of forging the
ritual, designing the pen and great seal and formulating the principles upon which the organization would
flourish in the turbulent days to come. Through the years Phi Beta Sigma has popularized the slogan, "Bigger
and Better Business," promoted and sponsored the cooperative movement and fought for fair employment
opportunities and practices. During the depression years, Sigma created "Social Action," a philosophy of im-
proving social order that has been imitated and at times emulated by other groups. The Fraternity has stood
unequivocally for complete equality for people.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated was organized on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis by Mary Lou Gardner and six
other school teachers. The Sorority became an incorporated National Collegiate Sorority on December 30, 1929, when a charter was
granted Alpha Chapter at Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana.

During the first three years of its existence, the sorority confined its activities to organizing. The first call for a national boule
was sent out by acting Basileus, Soror Allison, to be held at Indianapolis, December 27 to 29, 1925.

At present there are 79 alumni chapters and 45 campus chapters one of which is located at the University of Liberia, Monrovia.

A charter was presented to Alpha Iota Chapter at Savannah State College November 26, 1949, by Soror Fannie P. Jenkins, the
Southeastern Regional Director. The charter members were Julia Jones, Edna Ligon, Rose Lotson, Mattie Roberts, and Christine
Wright.

It is the beautiful realization, beyond the realm of all imagination, of a vision shared commonly by the late
Reverend Founder Elder Watson Diggs, "The Dreamer" John Milton Lee, Byron K. Armstrong, Guy L. Grant,
Ezra D. Alexander, Henry T. Asher, Marcus P. Blakemore, Paul Caine, Edward G. Irvin and George W. Ed-
mond. For it was the prudence of these astute men which inspired them in the school year 1910-11, more spe-
cifically the night of January 5, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, to sow
among America's college men the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now everywhere en-
joyed by college youth regardless of their color, religion or national extraction. And it is a fact which Kappa
Alpha Psi is justly proud that the constitution which her sagacious founders drafted more than fifty years
ago, has never contained any clause whatsoever which either excluded or suggested the exclusion of a man
from membership merely because of his color or creed. Its constitution is the law of an organization predicated
upon, and dedicated to the principles of ACHIEVEMENT through a truly democratic fraternity.

LATE SPORTS BULLETINS

Kansas City, Mo. March 12, 1962
Hard driving Savannah State put the locks on Pa-
cific Lutheran University's 6'8" imported Swede and
roared to an 84-75 victory in its opening round of
the N.A.I.A. Basketball Tourney. The offensive he-
roes were Walton with 29 points and Jackson with
20. Mathis' defensive work threw the handcuffs on
Hans Albertson, the gigantic Swede.

Running into a well balanced Lumberjack defense
from Flagstaff's Arizona State College, the SSC Ti-
gers bowed out of the N.A.I.A. Tourney by a 95-91
defeat despite a 37 point splurge by Walton. Jack-
son and Tate scored 18 and 15 points respectively.
The honors for the Lumberjacks went to Don But-
trum, rugged 6' 6" senior who scored 2 3 points.
WSOK radio station in Savannah, Ga. carried the
game live from Kansas City.
