.. _AL<>RGAN COLUCGE SOLD
Morgan college, heated in Baltimore
for the past sixty year's,
was sold last week fgr the small
sum of two hundred thousand dollars.
The plant was estimated at
$1,.'tOO,000. The library alone cost
$226,000, it is said.
The schem??- on fuot. in t-k-is dealis
to eatublish in Maryland a state
college f"r Negroes because of tincontention
of the Maryland Negroes
that they should have professional
school training for Ne
groes seeking graduate work. But
the farce in the deal is that a
great school like Morgan has
been confiscated f t- the small sum
of $200,000 less than one-fifth of
its value on the real estate market
there. In many instances Negro
property is put to very low figures
in estimation when it suits'the 3
purpose ofl the politicians, and
this is evidently true in the Marv
~ Iamf-case-as it affects the trade of Morgan
college.
The Afro-American, Baltimore's
best known weekly paper is much
uisiuroeu over tne transaction and
has this to say editorially about
the affair:
"The trustees of Morgan college
agreed to sell" its $1 ,.'100,000
plant to the State of Maryland
last week for $200,000.
"Ordinarily, it would be pool
business fi> -rsrtl?something wurth a
million dollars for -just a sixth
- of its value, but we can't say that
about the present transaction yet
until we see how it works out.
"The State of Maryland must
agree to buy at the price Morgan
fixes.
"The State must openly, or under
a gentleman's agroomerh^.arrange
for the naming of a new
trustee board to take over the newMorgan
State college.
"President Dwight Holmes and
Judge Mt/rris Sopor, white, trustee
head, have already spoken foi
a majority" white State? college
board.
"Just as soon as the deal incompleted,
the sum of $:!0.000 up
for scholarships outside the Stati
will be taken from an independent
commission and given to Morgan
college for its own purposes
"Alt "in all, it d</<>ks as thpiigFT
we are trading a "good little private
college for a Statt? college,
that, to begin with, wall be up to
its ears in. pities.
"Morgan bas a trustee board
?that- h-as-a?-nntjrnuTy of colored.
members now, as well as a colored
president. .
"If they sell out to a majority
white trustee board and eliminate
the $.'{0,000 annual scholarship
fund, nothing remains for* the
voters to do except to campaign
for a governor who will make
changes.
"It's too had that __ Morgan
should lose, overnight, all that it
has taken sixty years to gatrr.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
Professor S. I>. Finley, head of
the Negro high school, Chester,
finished his .14th year as principal
of his school this month. /Many
glorious tributes were paid him
for thP constructive work, he did
hnil+ n er??flit.ahle school that .
wjll ?erve as a monument to his
rriemory for many years after he
Ihib passed to the beyond. ~~ ~n
Mr. Finley found a school in
i
' Chester with. . only., four grade
when he entered as principal ?'?
years ago.?Today there is ii
.Chester one of the first Negr<
schools in the stat,. fully accredi

NO LAW SCHOOL
FOR NFCROFS
The proposition t > ereate a lav
school for Negro students. died ii
the South Carolina legislature las
j week when it came up in the Sen
ate and found its way to the frei
I conference committee.' It i* dP;T<
i As we juy al>le to analyze th;
solution, tie greatest need is ;
rmduate school- *ftiv Xcpfroes wher?
Ncfrro students may study fdr ad
i and law. There is no better plact
try establish such a school than ?
tlie- Stat, A. and M. cdleu'e it
Oranprehurtr. It is our . opinio!
that Netrro students are m t over
rivinus . lor admittance To ti'i
riiiversity of South Carolina. Ap
I nareruly that is lv t f.etKithle i)<il
a practical solution to the proly
lein.
At present 'the fe\\ N'ejfVo st',1
lentts who study for advance de
iriees must u'o ~?00 i r !.nOO mile?
away w'cre such tiainin.tr is of
fered. This is done at a co>t of
thousands of dollars of "South Carolina
that should 1>e-spent at
