James is not only a remarkable student but a proven leader in the most challenging possible student body environment for a young ,black man. He is an inspiration -- tto all of his fellow students and many of his teachers -- of just what a young man can do with (admittedly remarkable talents) but also well deserved opportunities. He will undoubtedly make his mark in the professions, business, government, or entrepreneurship. As he does so, he will -- I am sure -- continue to give back to all of the communities of which he has been a part. Colgate was lucky to have James, and Wake Forest is too. I hope that both institutions will continue to attract such students and provide him with the necessary opportunities to excel. I have taught at Colgate for 25 years, and my memory of him continues to fill me with hope.
