Word of achievements of Morehouse College transcended national borders with the debut of A Candle in the Dark, the college�s first written history authored by Dr. Edward A. Jones, Morehouse College French Professor from 1927 to 1977 and Chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages from 1930-1977 and 1926 alumnus, in 1967. The �Candle in the Dark� slogan was adapted as the name for the College�s annual awards ceremony and fundraising gala with the progress of the college living up to its motto �et facta est lux� which means �and there is light�.
The Morehouse School of Medicine was founded in 1975 as the Medical Education Program at Morehouse College by then-president, Dr. Hugh M. Gloster. The school was independently chartered in 1981 and the school held its first commencement in 1985 with 20 graduates receiving medical doctorates.
