Mr. Reid, Conductor
soaring on the legacy
In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard, a pharmacist and
religious educator, opened the National Religious
Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race
and declared its purpose to be “the development in young
men and women of the character and sound academic
training requisite for real service to the nation.”
leading the university from 1967 to 1983. He was
succeeded by Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, vice chancellor
for university relations and a renowned track and field
coach. Dr. Tyronza R. Richmond succeeded Walker in
1986; his tenure saw the establishment of the School of
Education.
In 1915, the institution was sold and renamed the
National Training School. In 1923, state lawmakers
appropriated funds to buy the school, and named it
the Durham State Normal School. Two years later, the
legislature converted it into the North Carolina College
for Negroes, dedicating it to liberal arts education and
the preparation of teachers and principals. The college
thus became the nation’s first state-supported liberal
arts college for black students.
In 1993, civil rights attorney Julius L. Chambers
became the first NCCU alumnus to lead the school. He
launched a major capital effort that led to construction
of a biomedical/biotechnology research institute and a
new School of Education building.
Dr. James H. Ammons became chancellor in 2001,
eight months after state voters approved a major bond
issue for UNC system capital improvements. NCCU
was among the campuses targeted for growth, and
enrollment surged.
In 1939, the college offered its first graduate-level
courses in the arts and sciences. The School of Law
opened in 1940, followed in 1941 by the School of
Library Science. In 1947, the legislature changed the
name to North Carolina College at Durham. Shepard
served as president until his death in 1947. Dr. Alfonso
Elder succeeded him.
Dr. Charlie Nelms succeeded Ammons in 2007. He
emphasized student success and focused on improving
retention and graduation rates, and he presided over
NCCU’s 2009-10 centennial celebration. During his
tenure, NCCU was ranked as the nation’s top public
historically black university by U.S. News & World
Report for two consecutive years.
North Carolina College at Durham became North
Carolina Central University in 1969. In 1972, the
state’s public four-year colleges and universities were
joined to become the Consolidated University of North
Carolina. As part of the transition, the chief executive’s
title changed from president to chancellor.
Nelms retired in 2012, and was succeeded by Interim
Chancellor Charles L. Becton, an attorney and former
judge on the state Court of Appeals. Debra SaundersWhite, assistant secretary for the Office of Postsecondary
Education at the U.S. Department of Education, will
take office June 1, 2013, as NCCU’s 11th chancellor.
Dr. Albert N. Whiting presided over the transition,

The Founder
James E. Shepard was born Nov. 3, 1875, in Raleigh, the son of the Rev.
Augustus and Mrs. Harriet Whitted Shepard. He received undergraduate
and professional training at Shaw University, from which he graduated
in 1894. The next year he married Annie Day Robinson, a descendant of
Thomas Day, a famed North Carolina furniture maker.
The Shepards had three daughters, Marjorie A. Shepard, Annie Day
Shepard Smith, and Marion Shepard, who died in infancy. The family legacy
continues through the two daughters of Annie Day Shepard Smith, Annie
Day Smith Donaldson and Carolyn Marie Smith Green, their children,
and Mrs. Green’s grandchildren.
Soon after his graduation, Shepard opened a pharmacy in Durham, and he
continued his education in theology and related studies. From 1905 to 1909,
he traveled nationally and internationally as field superintendent for the
International Sunday School Association, whose goal was a standardized
Christian education curriculum across denominational lines.
By 1909, he had decided to start his school to train pastors and educate African-Americans, who were shut out of
most opportunities for higher education by Jim Crow laws. The first 130 students arrived in 1910 when the school
opened as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. It was supported by the
philanthropy of Dr. Shepard’s numerous black and white friends in both the North and the South. The institution
struggled in its early years and suffered two devastating fires. Undeterred, Shepard would reconfigure the school
and press on. He was a constant presence on campus. He demanded decorum and stellar behavior of students and
faculty. From his home and from his office, he kept a close watch on the students’ comings and goings.
Shepard also played key roles in the founding of major financial institutions that serve African-Americans to this
day. He became a sought-after speaker nationally. He lent his influence at the state and federal levels to increasing
public aid to African-American education.
He died in his NCCU home on Oct. 6, 1947. The tiny enterprise had grown to a physical plant worth $2 million,
with state appropriations that year of an additional $2 million. At the time of his passing, African-Americans could
earn an array of degrees from then North Carolina College at Durham, including law and nursing.

Taylor has led the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) since 2010.
TMCF is a philanthropic organization that raises tuition and scholarship
money for students attending public historically black universities, medical

awarded more than $200 million in scholarships and other support since
its founding in 1987. It is named in honor of the late Justice Thurgood
Marshall, who served on the U.S. Supreme Court 1967 until 1991 and was
the first African-American to do so.
Previously, Taylor was a senior executive with IAC/InterActiveCorp, the
large media and Internet company led by media mogul Barry Diller. Before
that he was a litigation partner and president of the human resources
consulting business for the McGuireWoods law firm; executive vice president
and general counsel for Compass Group USA, and general counsel and
senior vice president for Paramount Pictures Live Entertainment Group,
a Viacom subsidiary. In 2011, he was selected as one of the “Power 100,” Ebony Magazine’s list of the 100 most
influential African-Americans.
Taylor earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Miami, followed by Master of Arts and law degrees
from Drake University. As a volunteer, he is former chairman of the Society for Human Resource Management

THE COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
A Perspective North Carolina Central University owes
a substantial debt to its medieval predecessors for its
commencement ceremony and academic attire. The
Middle Ages gave birth to the academic heritage that
provided us with a teaching institution, the university;
a method of measuring academic progress, degrees; and
a structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing
student achievement, commencement. This One
Hundred Twenty-first Commencement is being held
today for graduates who qualified for their degrees with
the completion of spring semester, 2013. This colorful
ceremony is the formal climax and recognition of the
graduates’ years of study and preparation.
Academic Attire All participants in the commencement
ceremony, except members of the military services, are
attired in traditional cap and gown, patterned after the
attire of the monks and students in the Middle Ages.
Black is the traditional color for all academic gowns.
The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves; the master’s
gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the bottom; and
the doctor’s gown has bell shaped sleeves. The bachelor’s
and master’s gowns are untrimmed. The doctor’s gown
is faced down the front with velvet and has three velvet
chevrons across the sleeves. The facing and chevrons
may be black or the distinctive color of the field of
study. The hoods recognized for each of the degrees
vary in size, shape and length, with the larger and more
elaborate designating the doctoral level. The shell of
the hood matches the black material of the gown. The
lining, which is folded out, bears the official colors of
the institution that conferred the degree, maroon and
gray for North Carolina Central University. The color
14
of the velvet border on the hood denotes the field of
study to which the degree pertains:
Gymnasium where they are joined by faculty members
of the platform party. Leading the procession into the
Gymnasium are members of the faculty. Following
the candidates are members of the Board of Trustees,
the deans of the schools and the other members of the
university administration. At the beginning and the
end of the procession are the University Marshal and
the Chancellor, respectively, attired in the distinctive
maroon and gray gowns symbolic of their offices.
