As part of Dartmouth's celebration of Black History Month the college is recognizing a ground-breaking alum from the Class of 1904.
A three-year starter at Dartmouth who served as the first black coach of a football team at an integrated college (today’s UMass), Matthew Bullock went on to graduate from Harvard Law and then coached and served as a professor at Morehouse College before beginning his law practice.

EXTRA POINT
For the past two-or-so years, every book I've read has been a library loan on my Kindle. While I totally understand and appreciate the satisfaction that comes with holding an actual book in your hands and turning the pages, I have a confession.
I've come to realize in the past week or so that digital books have officially won me over. Let me explain.
I stuffed a new paperback in Mrs. BGA's stocking at Christmas. When I finished my last Kindle book I picked up her paperback and it wasn't long before I was revisiting a lazy habit.
With the Kindle if I come across a word I'm not sure of, a place or supposedly famous name I'm not familiar with, I will simply tap the screen and bring up the definition or a Wikipedia entry. With the paperback I find I'm just glossing over what I don't know and reading on the way I almost always have. I'm guessing a lot of you do the same thing.
If a paperback novel contains an array of characters and I get a little confused who someone is, I sometimes flip back trying to remind myself. But if I don't easily find what I am looking for I convince myself I'll figure it out and read on. With the Kindle I do a simple search and go quickly to the first reference, which clears things up.
As Mrs. BGA will tell you, I'm a stickler for making sure there's good lighting on the printed page – whether it's mine or hers. With the Kindle I don't have to get off my duff. A quick swipe and the page is as bright as can be.
For what it's worth, I'm very much enjoying the paperback I'm reading right now. But when I turn the last page I'll be headed back to the Kindle – at least until the next stocking stuffer comes along.
