A great blow was dealt Negro education in-South Carolina wh?n last Sunday afternoon Doctor R;_ Shaw Wilkinson became death's victim. Dr. Wilkinson was an unusual character. and wrought ? Carolina. ... . ?? Twenty-one years ago when Dr. .'Wilkinson?re^~~ ceived the reins from thp handf' of inE. Miller, State . College had- little property by way of buildings. Today her physical equipment compares favorably with t^at of the better Negro colleges throughout the- oNmtry. We deem it significant that during Dr. Wilkinson* s tenure-oj the Slate presidency three Nation1 ? i. " oi ir?iernuies nave established chapters there. These fraternities are jealous of their reputations and are careful about the types of schools they enter. At State are to be found chapters of the Omt^a?Psi Phi. Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Al pha Psi- frateri?iti?s. Dr. Wilkinson was an Omega man. '*" ' Dr. Wilkinson .has brought to the youth of. State College some of the. race's brainest men as teachers and lecturers His labors have added materially to the cultural status of our race. Wo sincerely regret his death and The' Palm-otto Leader feels that it expresses the sentiment of a united South rarolinf*?when?it says to Mrs. Wilkinson. Robertj??lelen Frost and Lula. "We weep with you. Your loss is our loss; but let us all Thnd solace in the knowledge that his labors were, a benison t: humanity.'' " 7~ THE SPING.AKN MEDAL. Sometimes we believe that it would be a good thing if all .this metal awarding business and such should be done away with. It is frur belief th^t th4 "SpTngarn Metal award board almost- always errs grievously in its choice of. a medalist. Thcr eighteenth Spingarn medalist is Robert Uussa Mb ton-, principal of Tuskegee Institute. He is cited because of his book "What The' Negro Thinks." his stand in the Veterans' Hospital ati'air' and his work on the Haitian James Crow of Wtl-R'Tl took place itv ll'3l, the year ~fcrr wh 1 ch the modal is to be awarded. While admitting that Dr. Moton has accomplished . same worth-while things, due largely to' his having donned-the wnntU ^ <sr-.i u.. - > - ? _ ? .......uuicu uy me laie Booker .Washington, we are not prepared to .believe that anything ho has done is of such a stupendous na~ ture as to overshadow the works of such men as J. A. Rogers, Paul Robeson, 'George -Schuyler. Carl Murphy. Robert Abbott. Oscar DePriest. Albion Holsev, R. R. Wright. Sr., and others we might mention. - Does our-Award -Committee~~Wvef seek find a N^gro who has made significant contributions ?- in the realms of law and medicine ue wonder! It seems as if William H. Lewis might have come through with a medal during these eighteen years, oV Dr. Warfield or Dr Cuitis or some one of our outstandings surgeons. We do riot^ielieve that the Committee's choice will meet with universal acclaim at all. . LAZARUS A. HAWKINS. Foi*:: manv rirohths' now the familiar face-of L." A. Hawkins has been missine- from WncV. Street. For several months he was confined to the rooms ot a hospital, .l^ast week he Was ilaiih-'' ed by death. ' ' . ' Mr. Hawkins was literally a Columbia institu, tion. He was anicng the biggest hearted men *ithas ever been our pleasure to meet. It was always , his delight to aid people who were in distrss. This extremely human trait perhaps more than anything else brought him to a condition of distress.' ?but even?m?his adversity he had the eourage to . swilg And glvg tn mi w)\i\n\ hn met a fliwriu giuei- 1 ' ing. His practices attested that he believed without doubt that "It is more blessed to Rive than to receive." ____ BETWEEN THE LINES BY GORDON B. HANCOCK Our All-American Shame. The kidriapping of the Lindbergh child is at once a shame and high-handed disgrace!?The country la on edge with expectancy <'of developments, and that it wj^ IJndbergh'g_ child makes a great dif y> ^. \ ? : ?^ ~Tf feronce, but that it is anyobdy's child is . the im- ! portant 'thing. M,ore disgraceful than the kidnap- ; ping itself is the helplessness and "hopelessness of , the duly constituted_authorities. -We would' expect , 'the (listn-c.'crl pncdirto trt he willing to pram i r. I r.iunity, for .the return tf .their- child; hut for ulli- \ cehs of the law to connive at such concessions to ; 1 Icrime is appalling. What is even worso, " t h e j gangsters 01 ine underworld art* called u; on for j assistance as "go-betweens" in the whole shaTnet'ul 1 transactions.' There should be no temporizing | with those criminals and notice should be served' on them, as it should hsiTe" been served' front the j beginning, -that swift and terrible retribution wiy ! j be visited upon them! j It may matter muchWi-.o the Lindberghs, if by ( this sh'cw of- teeth on the part of the law, should j result in the destruction of the child. The Li ml-j berprhs have the sympathy of the woj-ld as has [ been clearly demonstrated In a thousand Avays. But if it means much to the Lindberghs to have their baby slain because of the law's stern demands, it means infinitely, more to the nation and the \vcri7i to have the high 'handed criminals of , this nation to know that there is a dead line beyond which even the United State.- will'not permit | IU p??SS. If, as Stoddard has pointed out. the riminal -propensities-of--<'<sr-tttim men are-"Revolts Against-' Civilizatii n," then in this -country we must con- J fess that the revolt shows signs of great sjiw-. When A1 Capones in prison .are olfering rewards for kidnappers, and when the duly constituted authorities of sovereign..- jt-ates are seeking assist-. nn:e <if criminals^- in apprehending criminals, it | looks very much as" if. the "revok against civjli- | zati n" is nearing success. The -ountry seems all ! startled over the.Lindbergh kidnapping: as a matter of fact- kidnapping of high or low degree is a t common occurence in this country and has -been I I for a generation.
