Dr. Daniel Williams, a
Black Chicago sur­
geon who died in
1931, was the first to
perform a successful
operation on the
human heart.
Two black explorers
came to North
America before Chris­
topher Columbus.
In the Civil War, there
were 156,000 Blacks
in the army, 39,000
Blacks in the Navy
and 200,000 Blacks in
non-millitary service.
Beethoven, the
world's 'greatest'
musician, was with­
out a doubt a dark
'mulatto.' He was
called "The Black
Spaniard." His
teacher, the immortal
Joseph Haydn, who
wrote the music for
the former Austrian
National Anthem,
was 'colored,' too.
In 1866 Benjamin
Thornton Montgom·
ery bought the plan­
tation he had admin­
istered when he was
a slave. He was able
to do so because he
had accumulated
enough capitol
through his successful
management of the
plantation store. The
plantation he bought
belonged not only to
a major slaveholder,
but to the very presi­
dent of the Confed­
eracy, Jefferson Davis.
Booker T. Washington
was born in slavery in
Virginia in 1856, the
child of a Black plan­
tation cook and an
unknown white fa.

taught himself to
read in an Under­
ground Railroad. He
later attended Hamp­

then became the
famous principal of

a time spent with a loved

became
a greedy

In all honesty I clo1l'l know the
answer to that question. I do
know one thing though. The an­
swer 10 Lha1 qucslion doesn't re­
ally mauer. For we al1 have hor•
mones and because of those little
buddies we'll always find our•
selves pushed into odd fonns or
:-1l1achmcnl lO ccrl;:lin inctiv1duals.
These feelings cause us to C)l;pc-riC'ncc m:u1y emotions. S0111c­

Yc1 \VC can '1 do :m)•Lhing about

wish for :111 tlu.:sc desires. lO go

our clcsin.: lO reproduce will
never allow us lO escape these
am·actions which every now and

If you believe ihat something
nohlcr than our desire to proc:rc~
ate causes us to romantically
love another I have one thing to
tell you. Romantic Jove 1s spc~
cial and even l'Xlremcl)' inlcnsc
but it also has a very dark and
savage-side lh:-lt many or us
1end to forget while giv­
ing ourselves things that
cause our teeth to rot
and fall uu1 011 this
St. Valcntine·s clay.
Wh:11 an odd yet
utterly appropriate
way 10 celebrate love. We
give each other candy lhat tasles

New Testament prof to retire after twenty-four years
by Dusty Hoesly
For twenty-four years,
Religious Studies
Professor Richard
Rohrbaugh has been
encouraging students at
Lewis & Clark to think
about the Bible in new
ways, challenging their
preconceptions and
assumptions.
R1charcl Rohrhaugh, Paul S.

Srnctics, leaches some of 1hc
n1os1 popular courses at Lewis

and classes in Htllenisuc Greek
ProL Rohrb,1ush came to
Lewis & Clark in 1977, having
already taught at the College as
a visiLing lcclUrtr. Prtvi6l1sly he
graduated [rom the Graduate
Theological Seminary at Berkley
and a progressive Putsburgh
Sc.minary, paying for bis first
year with a Rockefeller Scholar­
sl11p. In order to complete his
degree, he learned nellcnistic
Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ger­
man an<l some Latin.
Born imo a fund:11nemahs1
family, where his father was a
pastor, Rohrbaugh turned to•
wards a critical study of the Bible
through the inspiration of his
physics pro[essor, As a graduate
student, Rohrbaugh visited the
Holy Land m l963, and he has
made many friends through ar­
chcological digs. Bfblical schol­
arships .:ind rur:il alilhropologi­

svrship at Lewis &: Clark Col­

has kad.
