T i t u s '54, President I would like to extend special thanks to the Philaiderians who attended the National Convention i n Little Rock i n April. Your dedication and interest shows that we are making, and can continue to make, a difference in the lives of our graduates. Those of you who visited the campus saw much that was not here w h e n the Convention was last held i n Little Rock. The new security fence is complete, and we have initiated closing hours to secure the campus. The new Multipurpose Complex is nearing completion, as is the building for the Division of Business and Economics. We have applied for grants to equip these facilities, but this i n no w a y diminishes our need for your support. Plans have been drawn up for the new Academic Building, which w i l l be constructed at the northwest corner of 12th and Izard. The east elevation of the new building appears on page 8. Your College is continually breaking old records and setting new ones: Enrollment, while it leveled off this year, is expected to increase next year; scholarships and endowment are at an all-time high; and we have new facilities nearing completion which w i l l add greatly to the quality of life at Philander Smith College. But this is not the time to rest on our laurels, to revel i n our accomplishments. With an Arkansan i n the White House, now is the time for the College to do everything it can to improve its facilities, quality of instruction, scholarships and endowment, and its image in the community. We ask your continuing help recruiting students and garnering grants and donations for the College. We have received a great deal of media attention recently, particularly with the $1.9 million grant made to the College by the Walton Family Foundation (p. 9) and a visit by U N C F Parade of Stars Founder Lou Rawls to the campus i n February. But we can do more, w e must do more to take advantage of our unique position at this time. The College has many challenges before it, but with the growing support of our loyaland dedicated alumni, I have no doubt w e w i l l arise to meet them. 0 Winston Muldrew '50 Thelma Woolfolk Director of A l u m n i '41, President, Affairs National A l u m n i The preparations surAssociation rounding the National W h e n I accepted A l u m n i Convention the Office of Presihave left this office tired dent of the Philander but pleased at the turnS m i t h College N a tional A l u m n i Association, I d i d so be- out and the active participation shown by all who attended. cause it w a s another opportunity for me The A l u m n i Office initiated plans i n to give something back to an institution conjunction w i t h the Office of the Dean of that had helped me to establish an infraStudents to attend the National Alumni structure upon w h i c h I w o u l d build m y Council meeting held i n Greensboro, N C life.

The university becomes the third i n the country after the University of Z i m b a b w e i n Harare and the National U n i versity of Science and Technology in Bulawayo.

It is the first United Methodist Church-related university i n Africa and the first private international university in Zimbabwe. 'Zimbabwe' means 'dwelling of a chief i n the Shona language.

"Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world," D r . Titus said. "Just for comparison, Niagara Falls is 167 feet high. Victoria Falls is 355 feet high." Located halfway between the mouth and the source of the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls is one mile wide, and drops into a deep narrow chasm, w i t h a 40-mile long canyon for its outlet. D r . Titus observed, "The water felling sounded like thunder, and the mist created a natural rain forest in the canyon below the falls." ° ZIMBABWE FACTS: Zimbabwe, formerly Southern Rhodesia, is a landlocked country bordered by Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zambia. Zimbabwe gained full legal independence under black majority rule in 1980. Most of Zimbabwe consists of a high plateau that traverses the country from southwest to northeast. These upland areas, mostly above 4,000 ft, are known as the Highveld, and occupy about 25% of the land. A mountainous and mineral-rich intrusion, called the Great Dyke, extends across it for about 300 miles, and is the source of Zimbabwe's principal mineral wealth. The Inyanga and Chimanimani mountains in the east are the home of Mount Inyangani, the nation's highest point. Most rain falls during the summer months (November to March), and is too variable from year to year for crop farming, except in the better-watered eastern highlands and Highveld. The main river is the Zambezi, which has been dammed at Kariba to form the 172-mile long Lake Kariba, and provides abundant hydroelectric power for Zimbabwe and neighboring Zambia. Black Africans constitute about 96% of Zimbabwe's indigenous population; about 3% are white, and another 1% are Asians and peoples of mixed racial origin known as Coloureds. Of the black majority, mostly Bantu, 75% belong to the Shona linguistic group, and are commonly referred to as Mashona; about 20% are members of the ethnically-related Ndebele-speaking tribes known as Matabele. Smaller black etnhic groups include the Sotho, Sena, and Tonga. More than 80% of all whites are urban dwellers, whereas 85% of all blacks are rural dwellers, and many live in overcrowded former tribal areas. Harare (formerly Salisbury) and Bulawayo, each with more than 400,000 inhabitants, are the largest cities. English is the official language, and is used by most whites; Bantu languages are spoken by the black majority. Copyright ©1994 Grolier Electronic Publ. Inc. �Class Note= Thomas A .
