A COMMUNITY APPROACH TO BETTER HUMAN RELATIONS
Introduction by Dr. Robert M. Dinkel, Professor of Sociology, Guilford College:
Our speaker has a very distinguished record.  I think the facts will indicate
his great competency.  He received his Bachelor's degree and Master's degree
from the University of Florida - the first in 1935 and the second in 1938.  He
received his Ph.D from the University of North Carolina in 19iil. He was Chairman of the Department of Sociology at Furman University in 19ljl and 191*2.  During the war he served in the Navy as an officer and, after the war, was Professor of Sociology and Dean of Men at Lynchburg College.  He left there in
19U7 to become Bronson Professor of Human Relations at the University of Miami,
which post he served from 19hl  to 1950.  He has conducted seminars on Human
Relations at the University of Kentucky from 1951 to 195u«  He is completing
his third year as visiting Professor of Sociology at Guilford College, and is
also teaching at Greensboro College.  He is the Educational Consultant for the
National Conference of Christians and Jews in their Southeastern Division. In
1949 he received a very distinguished award, a National Citation in Education
from the Anti-Defamation League.  He received this award for teaching and research in the field of human relations.  He has published a variety of things,
one that I would like to mention - "Paths to Maturity: The North Carolina Youth
Survey."  This was the most extensive youth survey ever made. It is my pleasure to introduce such a distinguished speaker - Dr. Gordon Lovejoy.
Dr. Lovejoy: Seated down behind this lectern, I feel very much like a Christmas package: kept out of sight until the proper moment, it pops forth into full
view. I find, also, after so gracious an introduction, that I have decided
where I wish to be buried.  You know as you grow older you begin to think about
such things - you begin to look around for a place where you will have a good
eulogy and where all of the proper things will be taken into consideration.  I
think Greensboro is the proper place and if I could just have Dr. Dinkel assist
the pastor, I feel the obsequies would be in complete order.
