The most outstanding speech delivered at the-Convention was that de' liveied by the Rev. Dr. Rufus Ford, (white) pastor" of the First Baptist ^ Church of Marion, S. C. " 1 Cooperation with White Baptists The .reader will remember that Dr. ^ J. J. Stalks, president of Morris Col. leg'e. appeared before the White Baptist State Convention of South Ca' S - * rolina and asked that they furnish Morris College with a paid white pro fo?so,r for the. Theological Department j TEcTwliTto Baptists promptly complied _ bv Lriv-imr~us one of t*heqiosT^holar^ ly men and successful pastors in the ?Drr Ford's address was1 listened to V' with rapt attention, and surprise^ Dr.. * Ford told the brethren that the only difference between the white and the ie Negro races was that we did not stop long enough to get f acquainted with each others view point of things. He ^ recounted the* fidelity of the Negro race during the South's most try4' ing period, and" that there was not a ^ single- recorded misdeed on the part of. the Negro. He .t^>td of the good "" will of the while mdn for the'coP* ored race. T he speech was worth the 1_ trip to Georgetown alone, coming from a white man-as it did. Dr. J. J. Starks followed this speech 18 with an Recount of the year's work ? at -Morris College, showing that S87.- . ll. OOP hi'id Inm rairM-ri iluiw the firhoTq: 5" astic year ior the College. Dr. J. J.

"Each science or branch of science," states Sir Julian Huxley, seems roughly to go through three phase in which miscellaneous sparodic knowledge is amassed and dated; theories are pursued, often only to. prove valueless. There then comes a classical heroic age. - in which a general foundation of firmly mter-related principles is gradually laid down, upon which in' its turn a coherent anchitecture of theory can be built; and finally this passes into a period of maturity, in which the position is consolidated, , . the scape of the principles widened, their bases more firmly tested, and their consequences worked out in fuldetail. Naturally each stage lasts ,fti^ a considerable time, and in many cases a^ ^science which thought itself sefurely mebarked upon the third phase is reminded by kome fundamental discovery that is still only in the second."" Along such lines, in a measure the Negro Land-Grant Colleges have developed. Their preliminary stage, from 1890 to 1910, was characterized by incoherency or valuless theories, -suggested from time to time by polir tical, private and denominationl control. It shoullld be notgd, however, to the credit of those concerned, htat a few RnntHom ^~-3 3 ? - __ ....... u.nvci) uau muue some begining towards adequate provision for these institutions, with modern ? VbuildingB and suitable equipment, un- . ?? dCT visionary Negro leadership of such men as Hiram R. Revels, former United States Senator from Mississippi; John M. Langston, Member of Congress from Virginia; *R. R. Wright of Georgia; William H. Council. of Alabama; and later, Thomas ' E. Miller, of South Carolina. Prior to 1910'^ery few of these Colleges had made any great progress in physical plant and equipment. Elementary and .secondary .-departtnenLs constituted arenas of instrve= tion.. The teaching *personnel was poor in quallity as welL as quantity, for the State, were not very liberal in providing "'salaries of instructors. It wast natural of course that facul-. ties should be small and the' proportion of _>yell-trained taechers not as large as it should be. Statistics wqulld not furnish exact comparison, for though some went thead rapidly, a few_ remained practically dormant. While reports seemed to indicate a very gradual jmprovementi in their plants and etfuipfifent ~ during this ''stage, the resullts in most - of them were slow and inadequate to their' needs, due to misconceived objectives, inefficient authority. From 1910 to 1920 came the classic jr heroic age, during which a general foundation was laid down for stable coherency. Optimists -forecasted an . sra of good national feeling, the world was being made safe for democracy; and in the cold, gray dawn of an in:onclusive peace these" institutions realized "a new bitrh of freedom." Various philantropic funds and agencies ? low .began to generdusly ai-the Land- - ? Jrant Colleges in summer schools for -eaehers, by means of wfyich they were ' successful in broadening the culture iL ind renewing the inspiration of pubic school teachers. Without the sympathy and cooperation of these organ- ~ zations the. work woull ha(ve beenr rmph mnrp fliffirnl? if not, impossible. " During The heroic.* age thpre was " u-.-iftip.-iiiy?a .universal?iner'oaeo (in h,e number -of students. Though at he out set, elementary "and secondary lepartments were maintained, these vere almost entirely eliminated to nake room for a large enrollment in ligher classes. This increased atepdance in higher departments was lecouraging ot those who believe that ifrtentitrc- trahitng~lTr~agrlcniture, me-~ :hanics and home economics, was very nuch in demand by the colored people; vhich act was also especially gratifying since the increase wais in no'institutions for the higher euucation of Megra youthi? ?? 1 !l he age of maturity dawned in 1920 ? plunging consolidated, positions, ex- : pansive scope of principles, tested (Continued on Fage Eight) t. eo . al Cards | Dffice Hours: ?
