Morehouse College

Then and Now
Morehouse College
ince its inception in 1867, amidst the ashes of the American Civil War,
Morehouse College has had an unbroken record of producing outstanding
leaders. Educators, ministers, scientists, lawyers, public servants, scholars,
a Nobel Laureate, and other distinguished alumni received their baccalaureate
education from this school that has, in the words of former Morehouse president
Benjamin Elijah Mays, sent men out into the world with a sense of mission,
believing they could accomplish what they set out to do. From its origins in a
Baptist church in Augusta, Georgia, to its current 66-acre campus in Atlanta,
Georgia, Morehouse has transformed the lives of its students who have gone
on to make an indelible mark on their communities, the nation, and the world.
With the encouragement of

The Rev. Richard C. Coulter,
a former slave from Augusta,
Georgia, and The Rev. Edmund
Turney, organizer of the National
Theological Institute for educating
freedmen, The Rev. William
Jefferson White founded Augusta
Theological Institute in the
basement of Springfield Baptist
Church. Called to train teachers
and preachers, these pioneering
founders set the social and moral
tone for future generations. To
expand its mission, the school
moved to Atlanta, which was
becoming one of the most
dynamic commercial hubs of the
New South. In 1879, Augusta
Theological Institute moved to
Friendship Baptist Church in
Atlanta and changed its name
to Atlanta Baptist Seminary. In
1885, the institution relocated to
its current site in Atlantas West
End community. In 1897, Atlanta
Baptist Seminary became Atlanta

Baptist College, and in 1913 the
school was finally renamed to
Morehouse College after Henry
Lyman Morehouse, who coined
the term the Talented Tenth.
This was quite appropriate given
the progressive mission that was
embraced by the College.
Asuccessivelineofdistinguished
individuals have headed the
institution. Dr. Joseph T. Robert
was the schools first president. An
anti-slavery advocate, physician,
and minister, Robert led the
institution until his death in 1884.
David Foster Estes served briefly
as interim president, and Samuel
T. Graves held the presidency from
1885 to 1890. He was followed by
George Sale, who led the school
from 1890 to 1906. John Hope,
a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of
Brown University and early civil
rights leader, led the school from
1906 to 1931, and he was the first

Wilson,
(Class

Under these dedicated leaders,
the College has evolved to meet
the needs of the day while staying
true to its core mission of shaping
transformative African American
leaders and committed public
servants.
Ultimately, the history and
vitality of the College can be best
measured by the accomplishments
of its extraordinary alumni.
Morehouse graduates have gained

international recognition in the
realms of law, business, politics,
academia, athletics, and the arts
and sciences in particular. To date,
four Morehouse graduates have
received the prestigious Rhodes

decrease the worldwide incidence Executive Secretary of the Foreign
of Guinea Worm Disease.
Emmitt Carson (Class of 1981) is

the founding CEO of the Silicon
Valley Community Foundation
and a national thought leader in
the field of philanthropy. Perhaps,
Morehouses most illustrious son
is The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. (Class of 1948), Nobel
Laureate and internationally
recognized civil and human
rights activist. In turn, a new
generation of Morehouse alumni
is emerging as recognized leaders
in the areas of civic engagement,
technological innovation, science
and religion/spirituality. William
Marcel Hayes (Class of 2007) is
the principal of a recognized K-8
turnaround school in Cleveland
who recently graduated from
the Harvard Graduate School
of Education. Mossi Tull (Class

Dr. James Pendleton, a Phi Beta

finished an M.D. - Ph.D. program
at Johns Hopkins University in
cellular and molecular medicine.
Also, The Rev.
Mission Board of the National

Baptist Convention USA and
president of the Abyssinian Fund,
a global, faith-based NGO. These
men typify the Colleges continued
emphasis on academic excellence,
responsible citizenship and social
transformation. By providing
a sound liberal arts education,
meaningful opportunities to lead
and serve, support for spiritual
development, and exposure
to accomplished national and
international leaders, Morehouse
has transformed the lives of
its students and become the
destination college for African
American men. Throughout its
history, the College has fulfilled
its promise to develop men of
distinction and responsible
agents of change who have
often been known to march
forward into major headwinds.
As the new challenges of the
21st century beckon, we can
look at Morehouses storied past
and its current success and feel
confident that the College will
produce new generations of
Morehouse Men who will assume
dynamic leadership positions in
their chosen communities and
professions.

Lift Evry Voice and Sing

Lift evry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies;
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us;
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered;
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light;
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places our God, where we met Thee;
Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
Page 6
Dear Old Morehouse

Dear old Morehouse, dear old Morehouse
We have pledged our lives to thee;
And well ever, yea forever,
Give ourselves in loyalty.
True forever, true forever
To old Morehouse may we be;
So to bind each son the other
Into ties more brotherly.
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit
Make us steadfast, honest, true
To old Morehouse and her ideals
And in all things that we do.
Academic Heraldry
he history of traditional academic dress may be traced to the 12th century when Oxford University was founded
and to the medieval European universities of the 14th century. Although European universities follow varied
patterns in cut and color of gown and type of headdress, academic dress at American colleges and universities
is fairly standardized. Since the mid 1960s, it has become popular for some in historically African American colleges
and universities to wear kente cloth chevrons, panels, hoods and tam trim on presidential, faculty and student regalia.

The traditional academic gown is usually black; the pattern varies with the degrees held. The bachelors gown
has a simple design, with long, pointed sleeves as its distinguishing mark. The masters gown has oblong sleeves with
the rear cut square and the front featuring a cutaway arc.

The most elaborate academic costume is the doctoral gown, with velvet panels down the front and three velvet
bars across the sleeves. The velvet is usually black, but it may be a color designating the discipline to which the degree
pertains.

The hood of the doctoral gown features velvet trimmings, the width of which designates the level of the degree.
The color of the hood indicates the major field of study, and its lining identifies the institution that granted the degree.
Morehouses doctoral gown is maroon with a maroon and white hood lining and white chevrons and panels.
