Our Illustrious Founders
The Most Honorable A. Lanston Taylor
Taylor was a tall, lanky lad from Memphis;
easy going but tireless. His eyes were set deep in a deep brown
skin face that showed a square chin and prominent ears. He was
a good student but brilliant. His speech was pleasant; his
oratory stirring. He worked his way through college.

The Most Honorable Leonard F. Morse
Morse was handsome, shy, thin and dark. He
was very much a New Englander—from New Bedford,
Massachusetts. He knew his Greek well, majoring in the
"Classics." He was the first male student at Howard
to win two degrees in three years. He parted his hair on the
left side.

The Most Honorable Charles I. Brown
Brown was physically a little smaller than
average; his cheeks bones were high, his "cowlicks"
deep. Socially, he was known to be a "perfect
gentleman." This is to say, he had that gracious courtesy
that is commonly associated with the 18th Century ideal type;
never hurried, never flustered, reticent and affable.
