Professor Frank Coleman (1890-1967)
At
Washington, D.C., on July 11, 1890, there was born a Founder of Omega, Brother
Frank Coleman. In 1908, he graduated with honors from the M Street High School
of Washington, now the Dunbar. Upon finishing the high school, he entered Howard
University, from which he obtained the degree, Bachelor of Science. His record
there was so outstanding that he was at once made an instructor in Physics.
Brother Coleman later took the degree of 
Master
of Science from the University of Chicago. Subsequent graduate work he did at
the University of Pennsylvania. He has met all the requirements for his
Doctorate except the writing of his thesis. When America entered the World
War, he joined the army, became a first lieutenant, and served honorably
overseas. Aside from carrying on his regular work, Brother Coleman was a
member of the Boys' Committee of YMCA, a Mason, an American Legionnaire and a
Congregationalist. I with Oscar Cooper and Edgar Love envisioned a land
down in the valley that was purple and gold. The light we saw shined from beyond
time itself. We took our light to Dr. Ernest Everett Just who assisted us in
giving our foster mother life. The four of us combined gave all our love, peace
and happiness to Omega
