Annual Message

President J. d. Boyd addressed
the senior class and capacity
audience in Oakland Memorial
Chapel Sunday May IT, 1869. The
address rang the bell for the be-
ginning of the commencement ses-
sion. The president was presented
by Dean R. E. Waters, who waxed
eloquent as he called attention to
the stops on the way. The Dean
paid tribute to the Presidents ac-
complishments from Wilkinson's
emerald crest clad hills to chief
executive of the oldest land grant
college for Negroes in the world.
The President discussed the sub
ject: Being a college graduate. "
He dealt with the privilege and the
cost to so many people-money,
worry, anxiety, hope, and tears as
each individual attained the covet-
ed objective. His challenge to the
graduates involved a personal hab-
it, deep convictions timeliness, po-
likeness, imagination and civic re-
sponsibility. 1t was the hope of
the President that the graduates
of this institution would meet the
test in their relationship with their
fellow-men and exhibit all the
while a conviction of moral rights,
a belief in right-living, and the
decency embodied in a clean man.
Using as a theme, "a lamp to thy
feet and a light on a hill", Presi-
dent Boyd painted the picture of
his dedicated life to the service
of the state, nation and of God.
Historic Oakland Chapel, ring
ing with applauses as the president
of the institution ended his message
with a statement: I commend the
cardinal virtues of manhood and
womanhood to the members of the
class of 1859.
