Sampson Clark
Returns To
Jackson College

After a years leave of absence
during which time both studied on
fellowship awards from the Ford
Fund for the Advancement of Ed
ucation, Dean of instruction H. T..
Sampson and Edgar R. Clark, Head
of the Music Department, Jackson
College, ARE back at their posts.
For the 1928 school term, only
thirteen Ford Foundation awards
were made to Negroes in the
United States.
The purpose of the study by
Dean Sampson was to pursue
courses in Educational Administra-
ton on the college level, to study
the principles of curriculums and
instruction with special attention
given to the establishment of a
program of liberal education at
Jackson College, and to visit sew
eral liberal arts colleges of the
United States in operation. Among
the results of the study were: l.
The successful completion of
courses leading to the Doctorate
Degree in Administration; 2. Com
pletion of courses in certain gen.
eral and related fields such as
The School And The Social Order,
The Psychological Evaluation of
the Individual, Principles of Learn
ing, and advanced courses in Sta
tistics; 3. Gaining of proficiency
in recognizing and using basic
principles in conducting a program
of public relations; and 4. Obtained
an understanding Of the principles
of design and experimentation in
conducting educational research.
Moreover, the period of study
enabled Dean Sampson to live in
community of scholars and to ex-
change ideas relative to educa-
tional problems. He was elected
member of the Phi Delta Kappa
Professional Fraternity during his
period of study.
Edgar Rogie Clark was awarded
the Ford Fellowship to complete
work toward the Doctorate Degree
In Music at Columbia University.
Clark has done considerable work
IN the field Of folk music as an
arranger, writer, lecturer, and as
an interpreter. He is a member
of the American Folklore Society
and has contributed to the official
organ, The Journal of American
Folklore. A considerable portion
OF the year was spent by Clark in
the State of Mississippi working
with the high schools and their
music programs.
Early in the spring, Clark re-
ceived a second award, this from
the Whitney Foundation, to do
creative writing and a New York
recital of folk songs. This award
also enabled him to return to Haiti
to do further field work in Negro
folk music in Cuba, Jamaica, and
Trinidad. Clark returned to the
states September 1, bringing with
him tape recordings of folk songs
and Voodoo ceremonies. He also
made black and white photos to be
used IN the forthcoming exhibition
as well as short travelog in color
on Haiti. During Clark's visit to
the Island, he gave a recital con-
sisting of American folk. songs.
Clark travelled 200 miles into the
interior of Haiti to study the
Haitian people, their customs, and
their music. 1t was his second trip
to Haiti since he had visited the
small republic while he was away
on the Ford Fellowship. He had

When asked about his concep-
