His grace of manner, his calm, his composure, his dedication, his energy, these all protected and colored our lives at Swarthmore. His loss is so hard to accept because it is so untimely and because it seems t �3 have been so unnecessary. It is hard to think of a person more dedicated to non-violence and a person more sympathetic and more honestly concerned with any suggestions or criticisms or complaints. ~ And yet he had to face an abrupt < confrontation supported by force. Courtney was our leader for almost fifteen years, and yet he was much more than that. true and rare leader amongst all men. Courtney was a < ~ ~ ~ ~ I o U ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o He was truly a man He H of art, a man of abilities, and a man of conscience. ~ ~ was modest, and yet he insisted on achieving his goals. d id s o much more fo r us than we could ever do for him. Courtney's sense of fair play and his constant efforts to resolve problems in a sympathetic, ~ ~ U ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ o patient, and one human being to another human being fashio , o ~ < ~ are well known. His dedication to excellence and his o W insistence on its achievement are likewise well known. His concern for those less privileged and his many achievements and his continuing efforts in their behalf are all a matter of record. These things we must continue, and we have Courtney's inspiration as our light and our strength as we do so. �4 MR. PENNOCK: occasion of his retirement, Smith as the builder. About a year ago, on the Cla~e Wilcox spoke of Courtney I am sure he meant to refer by that term to much more than a builder of buildings, important m ~ o m a& though that is. Courtney was a builder of institutions He exemplified and held before and a builder of men. < ~ w o each one of us the highest qualities of human excellence, of principle in action, of integrity, of academic achievement, of human sympathy and understanding, and of selfless devotion to Swarthmore and its ideals, ideals he not only helped us move toward but ideals the very substance of which he helped us build in each of us. This devQtion enabled him to overlobk our human failings even when we failed him. We have lived in the presence of a great • o ill o ~ < oc man and as an institution is the shadow of a man, we shall continue to live in his shadow. We shall miss nisupliftin presence but let us hope we can continue to build toward the ideals he helped establish within each of us. MR.

On this occasion, which cannot be anything but sad, I should like to say a few words regarding Courtney ' Smith's influence upon the Rhodes Scholarships. I appear not in any official capacity but �6 as one of the senior scholars in this country and particularly as a friend of Courtney Smith. In my capacity as friend, perhaps you will pardon me for a few words about how much I valued his (T) o lD 01 friendship. The words that you have just heard from the < a. < ~ other speakers do describe the man that I knew. I had the rare experience of determining-perhaps I should say leaping to the conclusion--on the first time that I saw him: ' That is a man that I should like to have as my friend. I have made other judgments which have not been fulfilled as that one was. As a friend, he embodied all of the qualitie that you have heard mentioned by others. I value the o w w (/) I o o ::J a: U t- ::J w a: a: a. w cr:: t- o tI!: U < U .J o ::J u. ~ < ..J l<: ~ thought that we were close friends and I am filled with sorrow that that friendship must now end. able. On behalf of the Rhodes ' Schblars, ' you lmay remember Courtney came here at the height of the McCarthy storms. He had built upon the work that Frank Gaylord It is irreplace- --, o < I!: W o ~ had done, the work that John Nason did afterwards, and Courtney set himself to continue, improve, build :ugon the work of those two men, and he succeeded. �7 In the direction of the Rhodes Scholarships, he not only organized an office and a system which dealt efficiently, he obtained the friendship of the academic community in this country, the confidence of the community. ~ o He guided us through_ the stormy weather that has succeeded the McCarthy era. I think it entirely fair to say that under his guidance the Rhodes Scholarships have achieved a public acclaim higher than they ever had and an academic acclaim in this country also higher than they ever had, and an academic acclaim in England higher than they ever had. It was largely to his credit that it was he who through the pitfalls, the shallows, the storms that he has lived through, and now I regret have ended, that the scholarships have reached their present situation. owe him a great debt. May I return for a moment to a personal note The loss , which we feel today is shallow compared with the loss which his family has suffered.

His grace of manner, his calm, his composure, his dedication, his energy, these all protected and colored our lives at Swarthmore. His loss is so hard to accept because it is so untimely and because it seems t �3 have been so unnecessary. It is hard to think of a person more dedicated to non-violence and a person more sympathetic and more honestly concerned with any suggestions or criticisms or complaints. ~ And yet he had to face an abrupt < confrontation supported by force. Courtney was our leader for almost fifteen years, and yet he was much more than that. true and rare leader amongst all men. Courtney was a < ~ ~ ~ ~ I o U ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o He was truly a man He H of art, a man of abilities, and a man of conscience. ~ ~ was modest, and yet he insisted on achieving his goals. d id s o much more fo r us than we could ever do for him. Courtney's sense of fair play and his constant efforts to resolve problems in a sympathetic, ~ ~ U ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ o patient, and one human being to another human being fashio , o ~ < ~ are well known. His dedication to excellence and his o W insistence on its achievement are likewise well known. His concern for those less privileged and his many achievements and his continuing efforts in their behalf are all a matter of record. These things we must continue, and we have Courtney's inspiration as our light and our strength as we do so. �4 MR. PENNOCK: occasion of his retirement, Smith as the builder. About a year ago, on the Cla~e Wilcox spoke of Courtney I am sure he meant to refer by that term to much more than a builder of buildings, important m ~ o m a& though that is. Courtney was a builder of institutions He exemplified and held before and a builder of men. < ~ w o each one of us the highest qualities of human excellence, of principle in action, of integrity, of academic achievement, of human sympathy and understanding, and of selfless devotion to Swarthmore and its ideals, ideals he not only helped us move toward but ideals the very substance of which he helped us build in each of us. This devQtion enabled him to overlobk our human failings even when we failed him. We have lived in the presence of a great • o ill o ~ < oc man and as an institution is the shadow of a man, we shall continue to live in his shadow. We shall miss nisupliftin presence but let us hope we can continue to build toward the ideals he helped establish within each of us. MR.

On this occasion, which cannot be anything but sad, I should like to say a few words regarding Courtney ' Smith's influence upon the Rhodes Scholarships. I appear not in any official capacity but �6 as one of the senior scholars in this country and particularly as a friend of Courtney Smith. In my capacity as friend, perhaps you will pardon me for a few words about how much I valued his (T) o lD 01 friendship. The words that you have just heard from the < a. < ~ other speakers do describe the man that I knew. I had the rare experience of determining-perhaps I should say leaping to the conclusion--on the first time that I saw him: ' That is a man that I should like to have as my friend. I have made other judgments which have not been fulfilled as that one was. As a friend, he embodied all of the qualitie that you have heard mentioned by others.

On behalf of the Rhodes ' Schblars, ' you lmay remember Courtney came here at the height of the McCarthy storms. He had built upon the work that Frank Gaylord It is irreplace- --, o < I!: W o ~ had done, the work that John Nason did afterwards, and Courtney set himself to continue, improve, build :ugon the work of those two men, and he succeeded. �7 In the direction of the Rhodes Scholarships, he not only organized an office and a system which dealt efficiently, he obtained the friendship of the academic community in this country, the confidence of the community. ~ o He guided us through_ the stormy weather that has succeeded the McCarthy era. I think it entirely fair to say that under his guidance the Rhodes Scholarships have achieved a public acclaim higher than they ever had and an academic acclaim in this country also higher than they ever had, and an academic acclaim in England higher than they ever had. It was largely to his credit that it was he who through the pitfalls, the shallows, the storms that he has lived through, and now I regret have ended, that the scholarships have reached their present situation. owe him a great debt. May I return for a moment to a personal note The loss , which we feel today is shallow compared with the loss which his family has suffered.

Title A name given to the resource Black Liberation 1969: the Playlist Description An account of the resource Inside and outside of SASS, the Black students of Swarthmore College bonded with each other through music. Whether it was remembering the concerts off-campus that they drove to see, the soul parties they held on Saturday nights, or their own musical undertakings, particularly the Gospel Choir, music was constant in their lives at Swarthmore. SASS’s first Student Council funding was in part for musical performances; they brought Conga drums on their midnight march to President Cross’s office in 1970; and they sang songs during meals in the Sharples Dining Hall. A depiction of Black students at Swarthmore College from 1968 to 1972 would be incomplete without a soundtrack. The following twenty-five songs were chosen for their popularity, for their lyrics, and for the fact that Swarthmore alumni remembered them specifically. Encapsulated in these songs is a glimpse of music from the late 1960s and, more importantly, a sense of how Black Swarthmore students related to it. Below you will find genre-influencing, career-shaping singles and albums. Hits like Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” and The Supreme’s “You Keep Me Hanging On” are mixed with the timely, poetic, graphic depiction of a Southern lynching in Nina Simone’s rendition of “Strange Fruit” as well as James Brown’s empowering "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door, I'll Get It Myself)". Students sang spirituals such as “Oh, Freedom” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” together; some of the same students danced together to The Impressions’ “I’ve Been Trying”. These songs, albums, and artists were chosen from those remembered by alumni. I would like to thank Joyce Frisby Baynes ‘68, Marilyn Holifield ‘69, Clinton Etheridge ‘69, and Don Mizell ‘71 for sharing their musical interests and memories while at Swarthmore, and I would like to thank Harold Buchanan ‘69 and Myra Rose ‘72 for remembering that Feliciano was played in the halls of Parrish, at least for a few nights.

Title A name given to the resource Black Liberation 1969: the Playlist Description An account of the resource Inside and outside of SASS, the Black students of Swarthmore College bonded with each other through music. Whether it was remembering the concerts off-campus that they drove to see, the soul parties they held on Saturday nights, or their own musical undertakings, particularly the Gospel Choir, music was constant in their lives at Swarthmore. SASS’s first Student Council funding was in part for musical performances; they brought Conga drums on their midnight march to President Cross’s office in 1970; and they sang songs during meals in the Sharples Dining Hall. A depiction of Black students at Swarthmore College from 1968 to 1972 would be incomplete without a soundtrack. The following twenty-five songs were chosen for their popularity, for their lyrics, and for the fact that Swarthmore alumni remembered them specifically. Encapsulated in these songs is a glimpse of music from the late 1960s and, more importantly, a sense of how Black Swarthmore students related to it. Below you will find genre-influencing, career-shaping singles and albums. Hits like Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” and The Supreme’s “You Keep Me Hanging On” are mixed with the timely, poetic, graphic depiction of a Southern lynching in Nina Simone’s rendition of “Strange Fruit” as well as James Brown’s empowering "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door, I'll Get It Myself)". Students sang spirituals such as “Oh, Freedom” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” together; some of the same students danced together to The Impressions’ “I’ve Been Trying”. These songs, albums, and artists were chosen from those remembered by alumni. I would like to thank Joyce Frisby Baynes ‘68, Marilyn Holifield ‘69, Clinton Etheridge ‘69, and Don Mizell ‘71 for sharing their musical interests and memories while at Swarthmore, and I would like to thank Harold Buchanan ‘69 and Myra Rose ‘72 for remembering that Feliciano was played in the halls of Parrish, at least for a few nights.
