His-' "unique preaching ability- coupled with his- great .executive "power- -ttrr- lead men has , won for him a host of friends in this section of the state.

THE MISSION OF ALLEN UmVERSITYT ~ George A.. Singleton. A^e" University fUln pla"* rin tKe social life of South Carolina and the nation. She has a peculiar mission to fulfill. Apart from men. , tally equipping hundreds nf rinr youth it is her task to inspire them with an f quality rnmpln* Hint will impress ' them with the incontrovertible fact that they possess possibilities of intellectual achievement and moral attainment the equivalent of any man or group no which the sun has ever shone. She will, point out to the struggling-atul^aspiring grand children of slaves that physical features constitute no valid criterion of evaluating ,a racal group. She will pass on to them the findings of respectable scientists in the fields ofyan_ is no appreciable difference in cran, groups: In the long run the attain. mentr crf 'the ultimate goal is. a matter ot\. trainlhg~and opportunity. ~ In carrying out' her mission Allen "University will seek to instill the must perform a3 a team. The team cannot be'any stronger than its weak est member. KiplingTias the thing by the handle in his "Jungle Rhymes" when, he says:"Now this is the law of+thfe l&figte: ?And thiij rule runneth fdrward and backward, That the strength of the pack ia'thp ' Wolf, ^ Antf the strength of the wolf, is the pack." By substituting group for "pack" and member for "wolf" we readily see that the trength of our group depends upon the strength of every ndkidual member, and the strength of te individual member depend3 upon the strength of the group. A .more homely philosophy would say that the" strength of the chain ia_jdeter_ ..mined by its jaeakent link TUy- nmr: iiiliiy^rTah army rests "upon the pace cf its- slowest moving unit. Allen University in carrying out her peculiar mission will stress along -with group cohesiveness7 conscious I ness of kind. Nothing is-ever gained by individuals who .leave the group. The mugwump is just as unpopoular with a-social group as with a polit. ical party. If the non-white group is to survive in America it must learn a new lesson of stick to it-iveness. ?The non .while man had been free only a score of years when Allen Uni versity was founded in Cokesbury, "South CaroIIha7~ Since then- she has justified her exstence and perpetuation by the men and women she has sent out. If what Professor Carver of Harvard ealla the teat uf pexfuiniance be given right of way, it goes without saying that Allen University -hao fully lived up to the expecta. tions of those thousands who across well high threQ score years. aqcriiiced fur her. For many yaavk the "state of 'South Carolina was slow to Realize the necessity of providing adequate funds for the education of The N egroes of African descent with in its borders. There has been an unequal, and unchristian distribution of educational monies ever since we have had an educational problem in the state. Allen University rep_ resents the nathp>i<? nt ? pnnplo hungering and 'thristing for knowledge and tho olcmonto of citizenship trying to lift themselves by their bootstraps. Paternalism is not what we want but an open road to talent; that which will make for the all "al round development of all, through all; -by means of the wisest and the best. , President David Henry Sims speaks of Allen University as "The People's Institution."Rightly does he speak for Allen occupies a warm spot in thtrfmarts of~"the people of South Carolina. They _ bare.' sympathy with the struedea she is- makirwr t?- w? lize the ideal. Allan University is in the bervice ot- the state. She iurnishes group in therstate. As an alumnus of Allen this writer is proud of her re. cord. At home there are products of Allen who have made proud records in.. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Boston University, ^ntt the University of Chieagor Outside- ef the state they are surgeons, phystctafts, barristers, musicians, poets. 1 ATTen University Tlas ho apologies to make.

Qogpgi *n thf Chriatians 1 in that great city, so he is ready to .come to Columbia tc " "preach" to the Christians, and to those who are^t Christians, . , The /s&rmon was delivered with 7 fofcejamd eloquence.

He is a scholar, a thinker, and a ddVout Christian. He was born in Georgia, educated at the, Georgia State.

The sainted Bishop B. F. Lee was the presiding bishop. Dr. Beard wfis ap. pointed to preach a special sermon before the Conference, and it wa a erirton of great beauty and force.
