A MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR Mmm Here at Elizabeth City State University Miiftttiiii we have ushered in a new century of mfii^ifffm academic service dedicated to the prin- y ciple that all people who thirst for knowl- edge have a right, in this great democ- Mjii racy of ours, to drink their fill at the r academicoasisweprovide. Weareproud ii1 *'Irf to have served the citizens of the region, this state, and this nation for more than one hundred years; all the while firmly rooted in the belief that all people "have the right to be all that they can be." We at Elizabeth City State University stand ready to assist and guide you in your quest for educational advancement and self-actualization. We live today in an era of great challenge: rapid social change, economic cycles, geopolitical upheavals, educational disenchantment, and spiritual stagnation. It is our hope that the University will prepare you to understand the critical issues involved, make intellectually in- cisive analyses, and then to move undauntingly toward their solution. We can expect no less from a Viking! It must be realized that our University has an inspiring history; we owe much to those who have pioneered the academic terrain before us. We give homage to these illustrious men and women and we repledge our allegiance to those lofty ideas they championed. At this point in our history we must open up new vistas for academic explo- ration and we must chart the course so that the Vikings who follow will navigate from a true map which will allow them to extend even further the outreaches of academic excellence. The University wishes you success in your scholarly endeavors. It is hoped that your sojourn here in the lush serenity of northeastern North Carolina will be a richly rewarding one for you and a poignantly memorable one for us. Respectfully yours, Jimmy R.
