Morland to Give "Showcase" Lecture Dr. Richard B. Morland will deliver the McEniry Showcase lecture at Homecoming on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. in the John E. Johns Room of Elizabeth Hall. His lecture is titled "Faith in Education—America's Essential Genius." Morland, winner of the 1983 McEniry Award for Excellence in Teaching, has 31 years of teaching experience at Stetson. "Hugh McEniry was the one who recruited me into Stetson," Morland recalled. "We were undergraduates at Birmingham Southern College. He insisted that I come to Stetson and I probably wouldn't have if McEniry hadn't asked me." Morland joined the Stetson faculty as head basketball coach and chairman of the athletic department in 1952. He served as head basketball coach for five years, compiling a laudable record. In a switch to classroom teaching after earning his doctorate from New York University in 1958, Morland pursued his field of educational philosophy and its relation to physical education He was the director of a Ford Foundation program for master's degrees in education at Stetson, and took over the chairmanship of the graduate division in 1962. In 1969 he was appointed chairman of Stetson's department of education, a position he held until 1975. Morland's contribution to the Centennial McEniry Lecture Series was titled "What's it all About Alfie." His talk on sorting out values and ideas to develop a personal philosophy of life was delivered to a standing-room-only crowd in Elizabeth Hall last November. Homecoming planners expect another enthusiastic reception for this much-loved educator and lecturer at Homecoming. Blast off and be there at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb 25 in the John Johns Room.
