During his sixteen years at FAMU, Dr. Frederick Stephen Humphries provided quality leadership at the helm of an academic ship of higher education called Florida A&M University. He carefully steered it through the treacherous waters of political changes, budget cuts, and internal and external distractions to the calmer waters of academic and intellectual pursuits for both faculty and students. An academic leader who is sometimes accused of micromanagement, he encouraged and energized the various FAMU constituencies to work diligently toward achieving national acclaim for FAMU.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“In time of war you know much more what children feel than in time of peace, not that children feel more but you have to know more about what they feel. In time of peace what children feel concerns the lives of children as children but in time of war there is a mingling there is not children’s lives and grown up lives there is just lives and so quite naturally you have to know what children feel.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“When children are treated with respect, they conclude that they deserve respect and hence develop self-respect. When children are treated with acceptance, they develop self-acceptance; when they are cherished, they conclude that they deserve to be loved, and they develop self-esteem.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
