REV. J. W. WITHERSPOON
Rev. J. W. Witherspoon, pastor
of Morris Brown A. M. E. church
Charleston, S. C- who was Tues
aay evening of this week elected
President of,-the Allen university
Alumni association.'
Rev. Witherspoon received the
bachelor's degree from the College
? Principal J.E. Blanton
Vindicated
L
At the regular annual meeting
of the Board of Trustees of Voorhees
Normal and Industrial School
at Denmark, S. C., held May 8th,
1936, the report of the Special
Committee appointed on Septem~~ber
2bth, ia35, by the?Pioside.nt
of the Board of Trustees to investigate
the Principal's action and
relation to the school, was riceiv-.
ed and approved.
The Special Committee consisted
of the President of the Board
of Trustees, the Rt. Rev. K. G.
Finley, Bishop of the _Diocese of
Upper South Carolina; ?the- Rt.
Rev. Albert S. Thomas, Bishop of
the Diocese of South Carolina; the
Rev. Robt. W. Patton, Director of
v " the American Institute for Negro
es; and the Rev. Henry D. Phillips
Rector of Trinity church, Columbia,
S. C..
The committee made through investigation
and held extensive interviews
with all those- who coulc.
throw any light on the situation.
They also had before them the
letter purporting to have been
signed by two patrons of the
school. The conclusion reached by
the Committee was that wihile
^ they deplored the indiscretion of
the Principal, the facts in the case
disposed the grossly exaggerated
and slanderous implicatfcns of
the published statement, and proved
that the circular letter was
r " m 1 cl *xn Hinfr on/1 r?r?f tniA
Therefore, with full knowledge
of the facts, the Board unanimously
approved the report of the Spe'
cial Committee, which expressed
confidence in the Principal and the
belief that under his administra*
tion the School would continue to
giow and widen its field of influence
and usefulness. ?.i
(Editorial Note) The friends
of Principal Blanton Will rejoice
to know that he has been vindicated
of all charges made against
m in an effort to embarrass him
.n the great Work in, which he is
engaged. The work of Principal
Blanton at Voorhees Normal &
Industrial School has been outstanding
and means much in- the
educational advancement of the
colored people of the State. The
investigation committee was com- ,
posed of some of the most eminent
and outstanding white men
of the State, and its findings,
-? therefore is entitled to the highest
respect.
