THE CALL FOR. THE 1954 BOULE Theme: Youth and the Challenge of Integration The Thirtieth National Boule of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority takes place December 27 - 30, inclusive, in Louisville, Ky., with Eta Zeta Chapter serving as hostess. Every chapter of Zeta Phi Beta is expected to answer the roll call with full representation. Never before in the history of this sisterhood has there been greater need for a national meeting of sorors who are prepared to face the challcng of a new era. Decisions of grave importance and far reaching consequences face the delegation as it tooks towards the future in t rrns of organizational cl velopmcnt as well as racial and national security. When sorors meet at Boule there emanates a spirit of sisterliness, good-will and fellowship. The process of working and living together for a few days. brings the Zeta family close to its own national hearth with a ren .wed feeling of unity and a keen sense of rapport. How ver, at this Boule we need much more than the joy and felicity of a family gathering. These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman ... wrote Torn Paine when discouraged American troops were facing a well-equipped British army with little exp ictation of gaining the victory and establishing our ind p ndcncc. ever losing faith in the justice of their course, men like Paine fought as effectively with words as did others with th' sword. They made of the crisis they faced a great opportunity for securing the liberties we now enjoy. Today American citizens again face a crisiswithin and without. World leadership has been thrust upon the United Slates, perhaps before full national maturity has been reached. As the eyes of the world turn toward these forty-eight states, cv ry citizen therein is under scrutiny. Particularly, the colored peoples througho 1t the "privileged and under-privileged" areas of the globe are examining the action of each of us in light of the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of the Unit cl States banning segr gation in the nation's public schools. llow arc we who preach Christianity and Democracy going to react in th face of this decision? A key to the answer to this question may be found in th impressive words of the d cision which sets forth a clear philosophy: Today edu ation is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the gr at expenditures for ducation both demonstrate our r cognition of the in portancc of education to our democratic society .... Today, it ( education) is a principal instrument in awak 'ning the child lo cultural valu 'S, in prepnring him for later professional training, and in helping him lo adjust normally to his environment. In these clays, it is doubtf ul that any child may reasonably l e expected to su ·c cd in lirc if he is cl nied the opportunity of an education .... W com then lo the question pres ntcd: Do s scgr •galion of chilclrcn in puhli schools TTJE AHCI IO
DECEl\1 BEH, 1954
DR. NANCY BULLOCK WOOLRIDGE Grand Basileus solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does .... Such considerations apply with added force to childr n in grade and high schools. To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications sol ly because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone ... We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of "Separate but Equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. ... With the emphasis of Zeta's 1954 Boule placed upon the youth of our sorority and of our nation, every delegate is obligated to make herself completely intelligent on the many issues and implications of this decision. The fight has just begun. Desegregation of the public schools is a far cry from true integration. To devise ways and means of implementing the law, while at the same time maintaining our dignity and status, is a serious problem requiring skill, patience and p rspective, Upon the young women of Zeta as well as its older leaders re ts the responsibility of moving forward into this new era in human relations. Looking lo the future, we women of Zeta, in national conclave assembled, must accept the challenge of the times "and take the current when it serves or lose our ventures."

SEGREGATION IS UNLAWFUL! NOW WHAT? BY MARION P. BAKER Second Anti-Basileus The Supreme Court of the United States reached a decision on segregation. This decision cannot have a rebuttal or a reversal of policy. The highest court in our land has ruled that "the equal but separate theory had no place in the public schools. Segregation generates in the hearts and minds of children, feelings of inferiority." From these statements it is concluded that separate educational facilities b cause of race arc inherently unequal - And so it happened. On May 17, 1954, the long awaited question was answ red; in tl e answer, America reached a higher level of standards in the eyes of the world. The words of Dr. A. W. Dent, " ... the unanimous decision of the court is further evidence that our American brand of democracy is the finest design for living known to men and women who cherish freedom and who believe in the rights, dignity and worth of the individual citizen, whether he be white or egro, atholic, Jew or Prolestant," express the sentiment of all people of this nation who believe in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Segregation is unlawful! ow what? Where shall we go from here? What st ps should we take? Is the battle over and won? Can we now relax our eflorts and forget the issue hoping that it will work its If out? When America and the llics won \Vorld \Var f [, PAGE SIX
many members of the armed forces remained behind to secure the peace. The same strategy that worked then for international peace can work now for national harmony. School Board officials, citizens, heads of organizations, and officials of cities and stat s must parley in order to influ mce the minds of everyone to a Christian way of thinking. We must accept our rcsponsibiliti s in th new but natural order of sane living. Doubts and uncertainties, bigotry and hatred, rioting and abus , fear and cowardice, must not be allowed to force ah ad of sincerity, intrepidity and valor, positive forward action, a feeling of security for all and an a war n ss of justice. We must realize that th re is a task for us all. There is work to do. Th r<' is a job for Z -tas and other Greeks as leaders of th ir respective communities, a job to make democracy a reality.

Work through civic groups, the AA P and progressive organizations lo bring about <l<'sC'gregation in a way that will hr non-injurious lo mcrica and ALL of its people.

During this "Boule" period, I am happy to report that Blue Revue has gained momentum during 1954. particularly in the eastern and southeastern regions. l say this because I have had many more requests for information from these regions, not meaning to inicr that Blue Revue has not been staged with tremendous success in all of the other regions.

"Hats Off' to the southern region who created the Blue Revue idea. Since its advent in Dallas, Texas, it has spread throughout all other regions of Zeta in the United States. I am gratified if other regions have sponsored affairs commensurate to a Blue Revue. that have added financial strength to your chapters. Since Blue Revue is to Zeta what Jabberwock is to Delta and Fashionetta to Alpha Kappa Aloha, we implore all chapters to get the BLUE HEVUE IDEA and snonsoi one. If you need any help or suggestions write this office. If there are other greek letter organizations in your community, make it a hi-annual rather than annual affair. On non-Boule years you can sponsor one and finance your delegation, to say nothing of the innumerable projects and campaigns you can sunport through this one BIG FINANCIAL EFFORT.

UPSILON ZETA CHAPTER RECALLS 1953-54 EVENTS Marshall, Texas - The members of Upsilon Zeta Chapter spent a lovely summer vacation; many of the Sorors went away to school, some went away for rest and sightseeing in the states. Soror Margaret D. Hunter went on a tour to Europe. A few were left at home to keep the home fires burning. The visiting sorors attending Wiley and Bishop Colleges were entertain d at the home of Soror Daisy L. Smith. Two of our sorors earned their Master's Degree from Bishop College. The first Saturday in September found us ready to begin our sorority work. This meeting was largely attended at the home of Sorer Carrie B. Thompson. Our financial project, the "Calendar of Birthdays," was launched and was very successful. The Regional Meeting at Marlin, Texas, was attended by our Basileus who reported a very fine meeting. We gave $50.00 to Theta Chapter to help put a girl into the Chapter. For Christmas we decided to play Santa to a family whose home had been destroyed by fire. There were 10 children in the family, the oldest 14 years, the youngest four months. Sorer Margaret Hunter, chairman of La Cheerio, really went to work and with the help of the other members was able to make life just a little happier for them. On Christmas Eve night toys of all kinds, candies, fruit· and nuts, as well as clothing and bedding were placed under the beautifully decorated tree. The mother expressed herself as b ing very happy and could safely say that the children would be happy also. On January 16 Founders Day was observed with a clos d affair at the home of Soror Annie B. Hall. A round table discussion concerning our sorority, its sisterhood and how to strengthen our organization was the main topic of the evening. Each sorer left feeling there was much to be done and accepted their share of the responsibility. Finer Womanhood Week was ushered in with services at Gallilee Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev.
Ruby Jo Williums was "Cover Girl." of Upsilon Zeta Chapter's Blue Revue.
W. J. Calvin, gave an inspiring message. During the week the thr e hospitals in th city were visited and various things taken to the patients. To spread cheer was our main objective. Friday was Zeta's Hound-Up and Pledge Service. Twelve floating Sorors were invited to att nd. On Saturday, a Salute to Youth was f eaturcd at the City Feder at ,d Building. Sorors Smith and Thompson play -d hostesses for the occasion. Everyone present enjoyed it. The Executive Co,11rnittee meeting of our Sigma Brothers was held here. We gave them breakfast at the home of our Basileus, Daisy L. Smith. We have adopt cl a ward at the Tubercular Hospital in Tyler, Texas. This is known as 'The Forgotten Ward." We plan to make the patients happy throughout the year. There are 28 patients in this ward. We sponsored our first Blue Revue. Doris Pryer's School of Dane' was presented. This made quite a hit and was successful. Little Miss Hubyc Jo Williams, the granddaughter of Sorer J. P. Williams, was our "Cover Girl.'' For doing a tremendous job 011 our calendar project, Sorer Gazelle Sanders was awarded the title Zeta of the Year and was pres mred the Chapter trophy. -1/,<l>H-

The Prevention and Control of J uoenile Delinquency
Need for Emphasis Today More Urgent LILLIAN N. FITZHUGH National Project Director Today, it is difficult to read a newspaper or a magazine in which there cannot be found some expression of deep concern about the delinquent tendencies of youth. The members of our great Sorority whose ideal is Finer Womanhood and who work so closely with young people, have always taken seriously their obligation to youth. Yet, a reflection upon today's delinquent trends should emphasize the urgency for increased efforts on the part of every individual and agency concerned with the wholesome development ot our young people. To the question, "ls there an increase in juvenile delinquency?" the answer is yes. Some facts about juvenile delinquency collected from the juvenile courts by the Children's Bureau show that the number of cases of delinquency appearing before Juvenile Courts increased an average of 17 percent between 1948 and 1951. Reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the departments that fingerprint young people arrested, show the same percentage of increase for the same period. This average of 17 percent increase in delinquents for this period compares with an increase of only five percent in the increase in the number of children in the entire country who were of Juvenile Court age (10- 17 years) for the same period. In other words, the percentage of increase in d linqucncy cases was more than three times as great as the increase in child population (10- 17 years) between 1948 and 1951. According to the same Children's Bureau publication, the prospect for the future is even more serious. The Bureau of Census predicts that we shall have 42 percent more boys and girls in this age group in 1960 than we had in 1951. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO HELP SEE THAT DELINQUE CY DOES NOT I CREASE PROPORTIONATELY? It bas been seven years since Zeta launched her all out effort to help stem the rising tide of juvcnil delinquency that was sweeping our ation when, in cooperation with the national program of former Atty. Gen. Tom Clark, she adopted as her national project, "The Prevention and Control of Juvenile Delinquency." Today, there should not be a single active chapter that is not making a conscious effort to cooperate with her Regional Associate ational Project Director in the promotion of Zeta's national project, "The Prev ntion and Control of Juvenile Delinquency". As women working with agencies that d al with children within their community, both private and public, you who know their nature and their needs have a great contribution to make. You can speak authoritatively and intelligently on help that is needed PAGE TWELVE
in various forms such as jobs for teen-agers, psychological care for emotionally disturbed children, recreational programs that will prevent delinquency, conferences for adults and young people, programs to develop and display youthful talent, community improvement and the like. Develop Tinker Shops where neighborhood children can learn to turn waste materials into attractive articles, or work regularly in existing community programs. Sorer Lucille H. Madry, Louisville, Ky., Boule Marshall, is reserving special facilities at Headquarters for Exhibits and is expecting an outstanding exhibit of action pictures, letters of commendation, sample programs, posters, hobbies, handcraft, etc., also newsclippings, indeed, anything that will tell the story of your efforts in connection with our national project. Soror Pcarletta Lowery, 400 South 28th Street, Louisville, Ky., is in charge of exhibits. You may send your exhibit materials directly to her with instructions not to unpack until you arrive, or you may take them along with you. ln either event, be sure to send directly to me a list of the materials you arc Laking or sending. lf sending, see that materials are started in time to reach Sorer Lowery and your lists to me at the same time. Sorer Madry is inviting visitors from local organizations that arc working in the f i ld of delinquency prevention and control to come in and sec our exhibit. We can't afford to fall behind the fine effort o( our Cleveland Houle. As we begin our fall activities let us work for 100 percent participation in work on our national project. Let us be industrious, resourceful, pati nt and forthright. By Boule time work to have as many chapters in your Region as is possibl Lo ht' included in your report on our national project. If you cannot start an independent project, he ab) to report rcgu lar and active participation in existing community youth programs by your chapter as a who]', substantiat ,(1 by letters from the agency. At the Boule, awards will be made on a statistical basis. Therefore, in connection with our national project, Regional awards will be made 01 the basis of th' percentage of chaptc rparticipation which will be <l ·termined by reports, action pictures, ixhibits of work don in Tinker Shops and craft class 'S copies of programs, etc., and letters showing individual and community comments on the worthwhileness of your youth programs. I hope your summer programs WNe successful. Sorer Esther Peyton did a marvelous job in developing an int rest in Tinker Shops in Washington.

The pattern of living is changing from a segregate~ one_ to one of integration. (f we are to take our place m this more desirable society, we must prepare to equal others educationally. Giving scholarships to students in the diflcrcnt localities through our respective chapters is one ol· Zeta's ideals. From reports of some of the chapters, it was ascertain d that Zetas give approximately $10.000 a year in local scholarships. However, this only represented a third of the chapters.

Was awarded the 1952 teacher's scholarship of th Mayor's Council for Unity to th Human Relations Workshop for th summ ·r in ew York University, along with [our other local teachers.

So, Soror Jackson was chosen to lead the Southern Region. We who know her and have worked with her, know that the choice was a wise one and one to not be regretted. To you who do not know this soror, let me introduce her: Sorer Jackson came into Zetadom just as all Zetas do-the same routine-but perhaps different in feeling. She worked for Zeta before entering and after entering our Chapter, nev •r once "letting up." She came to us holding sev ral important offices in a number of organizations of th city and a teacher in the public school GRACE s. JACKSON system. Since becoming a part of m she has received her Master's Degree from Columbia University of ew York City, where b caus of her outstanding scholastic ability she was invited and initiated into two honorary societies, Kappa Delta Pi and Pi Lambda Theta. She served as Dean of Pledgces, Anti-Basileus, Repres ntativ to the Inter-Fraternal Council and now Basileus of Mu Zeta Chapter. Out of Greekdom, Soror Jackson also serves. Sh is president of the leading organization-The Sist rhood-of Baton Rouge's leading Bapti t Church, Mount Zion; president of the Baton Houge Branch of th National Council of egro Women; member of th rational A sociation of College Women, . .A.C.P., and United Defense League. And now we find her at the wheel, ste ring the course for those of us who make up our Southern Region. Evidences of h r capabiliti ·s hav already he n seen. Some of you saw her preside in Marlin, Tc as; we have read her notes in th Bull tin, her 1 tters to Chapter presidents, h r contributions at th Ex cutiv Board in Detroit all give vidence that we hav cho · n wisely. (Being on the slightly modest side, Soror Jackson is never too aggressive, hut can mak worthwhile contributions in almost any area- ven as a speaker.) You will find as th tim pass s on, that sh is always willing to serve in th verv b st way that she knows how and will resp ct the slightest wish or observation of any of her sorors. I am proud to have had th opportunity, along with others, tor commend Soror Jackson for this office and knowing her as I do, she would not he sati fi cl if T should close this little chat without cxprcssing her

FACTS AND FIGURES From the Office of the Executive Secretary We send you greetings from this office, and w are sincerely grateful for your part in the growth and expansion of the program of Zeta as is indicated by the facts and figures which follow. When this offic was creat d in 1948 there were 155 Chapt rs on our roster and about 10 of them wer inactive. Today, after five years of dynamic leadership by Grand Basil us Woolridge and with the wholehearted cooperation of a splendid group of hoard members, there arc 200 active Chapters-131 raduat s and 69 LULLELIA w. Undergraduates. HARRI ON If those in heaven share our earthExecutive iecretnry ly activities, I am sure Sorer Juanita Bates rejoices over this mil eston · in om history. It w.is always her one cl ssit to have us boast of 200 .hapters, She was our National Second Anti-Basileus in 19391940, and her enthusiastic Zeta influence was to a great extent responsible for Zeta' growth in Fort Worth and the Southern Region. he was charming, brilliant, dynamic, and a lady in every respect. I [er passing was a gr at loss to Zeta. With the growth of Zeta have come add cl responsibilities which this office and each ollic r have assumed without on objection. When the offic opened w, used one cl rical assistant and an accountant. Both were sorors m d did much of the work for gratis. P GE TWENT\
ow, we arc using two clerical assistants and nt times a prof ssional stenograph r for stencils, etc. The clerks arc high school stud nts. The Zeta soror still s rve us as accountant. one of this has m ant any increas in op rating expense for the office, for I have assum cl most of tho xp ns of th cl rks, and only the prof ssional .ervices have been reimhurs d. For 1953 we have ehargd to Z t< a littl more than $300 f r cl rical services, less than $35 per month. In fact it cost less than $1400 for the total op rating xpens s for the year 1953. $1500 is allowed for operation, and even with increases in postage rates, ctc., w havo managed to op r, t far below the budget. Our office disburs s information for any officer. We only ask that you s nd th copy to us. W will hav • it mimeographed and mail cl since we mail to all chapt r almost monthly cxc pt July and ugust.

MESSAGE FROM LA CHEERIOS DIRECTOR ZIPPORAH MEDFORD Life today affords numerous opportunities for the development of our La Cheerio projects. These projects will be just what we make them. In some instances they may be conducted in connection with other proj cts. Be sure to keep a record of the type of activity, number of recipients, and the amount of money used in developing the La Che rio phase of combined projects. Our cheer projects can be more effective with proper contact, planning, and publicity. For thes reasons it is my opinion that cheer projects should b, sponsored mainly on the local levels by chapt rs in their respective communities. As your national director, I will disseminate information, cornpil projects, plan exhibits, giv publicity on a national level, and render any help requested by a local chapter. PAGE TWE TY-0 E

A SUMMER WORKSHOP IN PUERTO RICO, U.S.A. BY ELGIVA BALL Progress via man's ingenuity and inventions causes us to stand in awe more each day. I was acutely awar of this and awed when taking off July 5 via Pan American Airways for Puerto Rico, U.S.A. to g t better acquainted with our island citizens. [twas a six-hour, non-stop flight mostly over water. W landed about 3 p.m. after a breath-taking view of the island. Interesting to note is that we were subjected to an agriculture inspection but no customs insp ction, and rushed away to the beuutitul Medical School in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had the afternoon free but began work early the next day. The course was five weeks under the tit! of "A Study of the Puerto Rican Education and Culture" for which we received eight credits under New York University. The purpose of this course, each summer, is to acquaint the N w York teach r and other community workers with th culture, background, education, politics, family, etc., of the Puerto Rican child who enrolls in their schools. Lectures were held daily and the afternoons were spent on field tri )S or in doing individual research. All of these activities made for a better understanding and easier rapport between teacher and pupil this fall. The final exam consisted of six questions covering: the keeping of a daily log; an essay on Puerto Rico which included its education, culture, politics, government, family, social lif , agriculture; previous impre sions of the island and its p ople, present attitude: suggestions for the course's improvcrner t: and how will you put your new know]edge to work?
In addition to this, WC' worked on committees. They were as follows: Liaison; Professional: Publicity; Photography; Housing; Social: Log Book. I oded up as chairman of th Photographing committee and we came hack with albums which included a pictur and a biographic sketch of each p rson in the group. ThC' first two albums were pres nt cl to the coordinators of the group, Professor Jesse Dossick, Ph.D., cw York University, and Prof ssor Enrique Lugo ilva, Ph.D. University of Puerto Rico. Highlight of this workshop for our 35 mcmb r group was the trip to Barranquitas and a two-dav tour of the island. Barranquitas is the birthplace of Luis Munoz Rivera, hero and father of the present Governor. This trip was UJ) the mountain over narrow. winding roads in the rain. but the spe ch. dancing and music in the square and the "Pig Roast" where we met the Governor. Luis Munoz Mntin, and the vlayorcss. Dona Felisa Hincon de Gauti r, was more than rewarding. There, as in every nlace throughout the isl«. we were made to feel p rf ctlv at home. ThP two-rlav tour covered such places and things as the Pre shylcrian College at San German; luncheon and pictures with the Maver of Ponce; visits to the· primary and secondary schools in Ponce; the Catholic niversity of Puerto Hico and a lecture bv the Rector: Cuanicn, where Tr-ddv Roosevelt landed clt1ri11g the SnanishAmerican War· a sugar Central; Porta Coeli, the oldest church in the orth American area.

Those who receive your Savings Bond gift will have four dollars for every three you invest for them in less than ten years. What's more, your gift may start your daughter, son, grandchildren or friends on their way to a successful thrift program of their own. You can't go wrong when you give Savings Bonds. No need to worry about colors, sizes or styles. And no question of whether or not it can be used. Your bank is the convenient shopping place for Bonds. When you purchase your gift Bonds, be sure to ask for the attractive new gift folders in which to present them to their new owners. A Savings Bonds gift folder is free with every Bond you buy. Only in the freedom of a country like ours can each one of us have the privilege of sharing in the security of those we love. For those important names on your gift list-the ones you really care about-make this a Bond Christmas. Give them the present with a FUTURE-for their security tomorrow . . .

In evaluating the work of the Council th Commission stated in conclusion: "In summary, therefore, we find that ACHR has operated unusually Ilectively. One is a bit astonished at the record it has made and this record gains emphasis because it was established incid ntally to the operation rather than as a planned accumulation for an occasion such as this survey. It would be difficult to find any organization that has done so much with so little, on the one hand; and it may be equally as difficult to find an organization with so much unus d potentiality as resides in the 100,000 men and women who back the organization on th other. One i likely not to envisage what this potential really means in terms of getting things done. lt follows th n, that any notion of diminishing the work in any way would seem to be quite out of place. This is the time for new resolves to go forward to greater fruitfuln ss. "Finally, there is every reason to be h artened. Since 1948 many things have happen d that could not be anticipated at that time. Although ACIIR cannot claim sole credit for what has transpired, ertainly we think that no one can read what has gone before without appreciating that it has played a highly important role in what has taken place. We have noted several events such as the elimination of segregation in the railroad dining cars and th drive on housing in which th , role of A IIH bulks so big that few would want to discredit any rcasonabl claim it might put forth. A llH can afford to put aside distractions and in the idiom of tho British: "Go on with the job."

Spartanburg, S. C.-J ust the other day, l plucked a beautiful rose from a bush that nourished it to the peak of loveliness. As I gazed upon its beauty and inhaled its pleasing aroma, it dawned upon me that this rose was the crown of "Roses' World." My mind wandered further to a baby. Yes, a baby, with its innocence and dependence. lts youth and loveliness. l said, "This is truly the crown of womanhood." My mind wandered far bcyor cl this rose and this baby, although they possessed enchanting b auty. It wandered to so many more of nature's beauti s, both physical and spiritual, I let my mind go and go ai.d it wandered back to the physical and spiritual beauties of womanhood. If the sun reflects the beauty of womanhood, I stand bare in its brightness and become saturated with its beams. If flowers reflect its beauty, I inhale their aroma and drink their nectar to intoxication. If the Zetas represent living examples of womanhood, my heart lingers for their companionship. This leads m to my subject-"Why I want to b come a Zeta." l fe 1 that th re is so much satisfaction found in relationship with those who represent such ideals. The minds of this body are tinted with a sisterly spirit and lifted up beyond the common indccenci ,s that tend to stagger progress. I want to be a part of that movement that lives the ideal-"Fatherhood of Goel and brotherhood of man." That's why I want to be a Zeta. If one gazes at the road of Z ta, she finds that it 1 ads upward. It never leads downward, other than when it lear s to lift. It lifts not only one's sell.. but those who arc touched by its rays. Even the rays from Zeta say, "All is well," and that, too, is why I want to be a Zeta. Just how much I want to become a Zeta is hard to say. Nor can one describe the taste of strawberry, nor de .cribc the suns t, th rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose. But just as a Mother heeds a Baby's cry and a mater answers a whippoorwill's call, SO DO I TO ZETA. Howe and Virgie DeWitly furnish cl the music. Six new members were add cl to the chapter's roster when the spring probation season was observed.

EOLA LYONS BAKER GETS DILLARD ALUMNI AW ARD CITATION BY PHESIDENT ALBERT W. DENT OCTOBER 29, 1954 Eola Lyons Baker is indigenous to Louisiana and tradition that is Dillard. She was born in Terrebonr e Parish along the Bayou T rrebonnc. Her high school, basic nursing and college education were received in predecessors to what we today know as Dillard University. She is truly a home grown product whom we proudly honor. The rather recent maturity of nursing as an honored profession, like all of man's lasting endeavors, is due in most part to tireless and conscientious workers, whose response to duty is without fail or excuse; whose acceptance and execution of great responsibilities is with ease and eagerness; and whose lives are dedicated to great concern for the welfar of others. Such a worker in th profession of nursing is Mrs. Baker, .~h_orn most ~f us in this room know affectionately as Miss Lyons. In her bright and still shining career, Mrs. Baker has touched the lives of thousands in the capacities of nurse, teacher and friend. Iler ability to serve has been greatly enhanced by her personal desire to study, travel and observe. Following her professional training at old Flint-Goodridge Hospital School of Nursing and later at New Orleans University, she has continued with graduate study in nursing and anesth sia in some of the best universities, hospitals and clinics of th United States and Canada. Mrs. Baker has b en effective and uniquely succcssf ul in three areas of service. For more than 20 years she was Superintendent of Nurses at Flint-Goodridge Hospital where she touched the lives of literally thousands of patients, their families and friends. She always visited the bedside with a cheery word of encouragement and hope, frequently opening the way for patients to xpr 'SS fears and difficulties which she more than anyone l know, could so easily dispel and bring cncouragern mt and relief to the mind of th patient. ln addition to the skillful care of the physicians and surgeons whom she assisted, her kind, warm, humane personality has m ant much to speed the recovery of innumerable patients. Mrs. Baker has made a great contribution in still another fi Id - ursing Education. The hundreds of young women who srudi d under her at l• lint-Goodridg Ilospital have gone forth to make important places for themselves in the profession throughout the length and br iadth of this country and many of them have served with om armed forces. More recently Mrs. Haker has concentrated her ell orts in the field of anesthesia as the Chief Anesllwlisl in l• lint-Coodridg . t present she has the unbounded conf'id 'nee of surgeons and patients alike because of her demonstrated skill in this highly technical profession. l n th area of anesthesia she has piom creel among the cgro nurses of the country and is recognized as one of' the most able persons in this rield. s a public servant, and quite beyond the field is thoroughly a party of th

While the organizations with which she has worked are too numerous to attempt to list here, attention should be called to the notable contributions which she has made to her church; to the Flint-Goodridge Hospital Women's Auxiliary; to the United Fund; and to the Alumni Association of her Alma Mater all of them without expectation of personal gain. Hers has be n, and still is, a life of devotion to service in the cause of humanity. "Miss Lyons" because of .my first-hand knowledge of your great humanitarian interests, having worked closely with you at Flint-Goodridge Hospital for 10 years, it. gives me great personal satisfaction to be the instrument through which the Alumni and the Truste s of Dillard University confer this honor upon you.
