Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on February 10, 2022 Check out this video from Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina! VIRTUAL FOUNDER’S DAY PROGRAM February 10, 2022 Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins, Sr., President PRESIDING Founder’s Day The first observance of Founder’s Day was celebrated on February 10, 1894, one year after the death of Dr. Joseph Charles Price, founder and first president of Livingstone College. Since that time, the College has instituted a holiday in memory of Dr. Price and other important persons responsible for the existence of Livingstone College. Traditionally, the celebration has included a formal Convocation program with speakers repre- senting faculty and students alike. It is also a tradition to place a wreath at the mausoleum to commemorate Dr. Price’s memory and legacy. Founder’s Day commemorates the fact that Dr. Price laid the framework for the rich heritage that Livingstone College has consistently maintained and sustained over the years. During the 10 years of which Dr. Price served as president, a grammar school, which also served as a pre- paratory school was built; classical and theological courses were added for those interested in the ministry; Huntingdon Hall was enlarged; Dodge Hall was completed; and Ballard Hall was constructed. And the legacy continues... The Founder's Day Litany ................................................................Bishop Michael A. Frencher, Sr. Presiding, Prelate, Mid-West Episcopal District LEADER: Blessed be the Lord God for His tender mercy, whereby the day spring on high has visited us. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for you are sovereign. LEADER: For our humble beginnings, which remind us that great things start small. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for your providential care. LEADER: For the pioneers of Zion Methodism, who envisioned an academy that would train African-Ameri- can leaders and prepare them for service to the world. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for your infinite wisdom. LEADER: For the benefactors, friends and other supporters who contribute their substance, so that we can keep the doors of this institution open. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for the gift of giving. LEADER: For those bishops, presidents, administrators, faculty, staff, students and alumni, whose love and loyalty for the institution and its various programs have led them continually to sacrifice, and to contribute of their time, energy, mind and means for the promotion of education and preservation of a heritage. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for your kindness. LEADER: For the forward movement of Livingstone College. PEOPLE: Thanks be to Thee, O God, for your grace. ALL: For your wisdom, love, mercy and providence that sustain us and your guidance in the Twenty -First Century, thanks be to Thee, O God. May Livingstone College continue to rise and spread her influence as she endeavors to reaffirm the dream which reminds us: “No matter how dark the night, we believe in the coming of the morning.” If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
