Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays was a towering figure in academic, religious and societal circles. His keen intellect, courage, determination and stewardship proved to be invaluable and noteworthy during the civil rights movement and beyond. As a scholar, educator, administrator, philanthropist, public servant, activist and humanitarian, Dr. Mays blazed a monumental trail and left an indelible mark upon many influential individuals, most notably Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and former Dillard University President Dr. Samuel Dubois Cook. �ֲ��ý College and its constituency can feel proud that it provided a solid foundation for this spirited and principled man to chart his course.

I had a late friend and co-worker who attended �ֲ��ý College. I had not heard of it until then. He spoke glowingly of the college and the community. He remarked that while he was the only African American in most of his classes, he was very comfortable in the setting. Reading this article helped me understand why he enjoyed attending �ֲ��ý College. My friend was a brilliant person with a quick sense of humor and relaxed among all people.

His mother was the first African American High School principal in a Westchester, N.Y. High School. A High School was later renamed for her. He was a proud �ֲ��ý Alum and reading this article reminded me of our friendship and times together.
