Whereas, a committee has been formed to plan North Carolina A & T State University's Centennial Celebration and has chosen the theme, "Celebration and Challenge; A Second Century"; and
Whereas, as the theme suggests, it is the committee's goal to celebrate the university's first 100 years of progress and to focus on events and persons who played significant roles in advancing the university; and
Whereas, it is the committee's objective to plan a celebration that will bring together the entire university and its many supporters to partake in activities which will dramatize the university's rich tradition and service; and
Whereas, North Carolina A & T State University's Centennial Celebration will alert the public to the university's present aim and its need for support; and
Whereas, North Carolina A & T State University's Centennial Celebration will examine the past and present achievements of the university in hopes of building a foundation upon which philosophical and operational directions for the future may be built; and
Whereas, funds are needed to carry out North Carolina A & T State University's Centennial Celebration; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
