MLK entered Crozer in 1948. It was an integrated Theological Seminary. His grades the first year were mediocre. By his third year he was a straight A student. He was voted class President by a mostly white student body. He was valedictorian.
In 1951, the year of Kings graduation from Crozer, Dean Charles Battan praised him as one of our most outstanding students and someone who exhibited fine preparation, an excellent mind, and a thorough grasp of the material (Papers 1:390391).
King graduated from Crozer with honors as class valedictorian, and was also the recipient of the Pearl Plafker award for scholarship.
