DELYTE WESLEY MORRIS, 33° The following article on SIU's President Morr_is appeared in the April issue of NewsLetter, official publication of The Supreme Council, Thirty-third Degree Ancief?,t Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, U.S.A. Carbondale Normal 11 a one-town teachers' college surrounded by vast areas of in~ difference," located on a small city block in Carbondale, Illinois, has become Southern Illinois University with 3722 acres to continue growing in. The dramatic story of mushrooming Southern Illinois University was related in six columns by Jack Rice, staff correspondent of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, on January 30, 1960. Said he, "For ll years Southern Illinois University, a do-good institution guided by a do-it now president, Delyte Wesley Morris, has made an art of explosion. There are no indications that either the University or Morris intends to quiet down." President Morris, former director of the Speech and Hearing Clinic at Ohio State University, said : 11 I came here frankly with one thought in mind.--that this was a new opportunity to .build a new kind of institution . This area is my home and I had thought that this institution was not �- 7 - doing wh.at it could and what it ought to do." Ill. Brother Morris h.a s raised academic standards at Southern and strengthened the faculty by attracting younger men, offering them a more liberal opportunity than they could expect at universities more settled in routine and seniorities. Outstanding men, retired by leading universities but not ready to quit, are invited to spend one or two years as resident celebrities on the Southern faculty. It has not been unusual for a Southern list to include a half-dozen former presidents and deans of major universities. Ill. Brother Morris was created an Honorary Member of the Supreme Council in 1958 and is highly esteemed by the \!alley of East St. Loui.s , Illinois. To join see Morris Carr at Alton or Lloyd Hubert at East St. Louis, or call Joe R. Small, Ext . 44, East St. Louis.
