Dr. Fred Ross, ASC alumnus and now a resident
physician in Tallahassee (Fla.), was this year's Hon­
ors Day keynoter
"Seek And Search For
Knowledge/' ASC
Alumnus Tells
Honors Day
•
Honorees

One of the institution's most outstand­
ing scholar-athletes, now a resident phy­
sician, urged Albany State College stu­
dents to be hungry for knowledge. "Seek
and search for kowledge," he urged in
his address at the College's annual Hon­
ors Day Convocation here.
_.
Dr. Fred H. Ross, honored on numerous
occasions himself as one of ASC's most
distinguished scholar-athletes as an un­
dergraduate, said, "let me commend each
of you for your works of excellence. Due
to your perseverance, dedication and sac­
rifices, you are one of those being hon­
ored here today for your successes. This
is the attitude you must have to be successful in life", he added.
Commending the college for providing
him and many of its other alumni with
the skills so necessary to take on life's
challenges, Ross, a native of Boston,
GA., encouraged those being honored
"to ensure that the process will cease if
learning is not a top priority."
An All-SIAC Academic choice in 1971,
Ross was a four-year starter as a linebacker on the Ram football teams from
1970-73 and the team's most valuable
player in 1972 and 1973.
176
Cautioning against allowing the aca­
demic process to become stagnant, he
urged, "Do not be content with your
achievements and successes thus far. Set
higher goals for next year for the setting
of goals is and should be a life-long pro­
cess."
Dr. Ross, a graduate of the University of
Florida Medical School, is also a regis­
tered pharmacist with degrees, both
bachelor's and master's, from Florida
A&M University in pharmacology and
toxicology.
In other events of the annual Honors
Day observance, Leonard R. Minter was
presented as the recipient of the Col­
lege's Teacher-of-the-Year Award.
A native of Meigs, GA., Minter, an 18year veteran of the ASC English faculty,
is an assistant professor of English.
More than 275 students were recognized
for academic achievement in the class­
room during the academic divisions, de­
partment, and organizations. Among the
several students receiving special recog­
nition for academic excellence were:
*LIANNE MASO DE MOYA of Alba­
ny, honored as the institution's highestranking student and the recipient of the
Alpha Kappa Mu National Honor Soci­
ety's Gorge W. Gore ($1,000) Scholarship
for Graduate Study. Miss Maso de Moya
also received a $14,000 Ohio State Uni­
versity Fellowship for graduate study
and the Billy C. Black Award presented
by the Albany Chamber of Commerce.
