The Will to Succeed

Lastly, be sure to read “Seeing a Dream Come to Fruition.” The Rev. Father Boniface Hardin, the founder and president of Martin University in Indianapolis, has presided over the university for 30 years and is stepping down in December. Hardin, who had dreams of starting a language school for Blacks, realized that he really couldn’t help anyone unless he could provide diplomas. That’s exactly what he’s done over the past few decades, primarily to adult learners. Hardin, who uses his resemblance to Frederick Douglass as a teaching tool, says Martin is more than a school; it’s a movement. His colleagues realize that Hardin will not be easy to replace.

Says dean Steve Glenn, “His heart and soul is in the school.”
