An Editorial
DR. THOMAS V. NEAL:
INCOMING HOWARD PRESIDENT
With the naming of Dr. Thomas V. Neal as president of
Howard College, the Board of Trustees filled a chair left vacant
I 3 months. From the work Dr. Neal has done, it would appear
that he is well suited to take up the duties as chief executive of
. the Baptist institution and carry them on to a goal of realiza¬
tion.
Dr. Neal has been in Texas 25 years, and though he no
doubt has kept his finger on Baptist affairs in Alabama it is
going to take time for him to acquaint himself with affair,» at
and concerning Howard College. That he is an alumnus of the
institution is not going to lighten his burden in the least, it may
even serve to increase his burden.
Cooperaation rather than criticism will go a long way
toward making the administration of the incoming Howard
executive a success. Howard students and faculty members
are prone to criticize affairs of the administration and in criticiz¬
ing take a hands-off and thumbs-down attitude. Constructive
criticism is always helpful. But criticism, if it is to be of value,
must come from those working with their hands on the pulse
of the situation and not from lookers-on.
Already the criticism has been voiced on the campus that
a minister is not the man for the presidency of Howard Col¬
lege. Dr. Neal is a clergyman, and a good one, his record
shows. This attitude on Howard's campus that once a man is
a minister he is forever and eternally a soft spoken willy nilly
who forever preaches and never acts must be blasted from its
very roots once and for all. It is one^of the most damning influ¬
ences that could possibly exist on a denominational campus.
That Dr. Neal is a clergyman and at the same time an
educator, an educational systematizer, an organizer and a suc¬
cessful endowment campaign manager, is all the more to his
credit than if only the educational organization work could be
credited to his name. He is the kind of man needed at Howard
College. That he can get out in the field arid raise funds for
the college, solicit students for the college and preach a sermon
occasionally are all creditable and the three creditable qualities
are better possessions than only two of them would be. A
good sermon has its place and is needed.
When Dr. Neal has the lay of the land well in hand, has
found his objectives and mapped hie route for this old Baptist
college with a heritage as rich as any in the South, those on
Howard’s campus who fall in ling and help this incoming execu¬
tive achieve his ends are going to find a greater happiness in
knowing they have helped accomplish a worthwhile deed than
if they had played a hands-off, thumbs-down game.
