Tin iritieipa] address was delivered by Tames A. (Billboard) Jackson of Standard Orl and "Commercial Counsellor" for Sicrma. We quote the following excerpts from Mr. Jackson's able address:. "To Booker T. Washington must oe conceded the credit for having iK'cri the first among our people to realize the necessity for cooperation between education and industry with the related commerce necessary to binding them securely together. If there were others, they were either withoul the courage to speak out upon the subject; or rf they spoke, failed to arrest public attention. "He urged the creation of business machinery that we too, might as do all other peoples, retain to a greater degree the profits arising fromaour labor. He realized that this was not at all possible -- 1 ,li,l oil r,t IUHK an "Ull-I n WIU ail v^i wvsi merchandising', and catered to oui every need from marketing our crops, selling the products of our labor, to selling t0 us the necessities of life and the Ijttle pleasures and luxuries our limited mean? permitted. Those means were even more limited because <?T4h^f?rofit8, exacted, both rooming and going. "Dr. Washington faced several tremendous obstacles to the promotion of his program. Mental s Meharrv Graduate Mark in Tenn's. Li< prooesses wrought through 240 fears of slavery had created tralitions which were not to be easily ivercome. "How well we have succeeded nay be told in a few brief words. We are proud to report at the "ount 0f Booker T. Washington and fervently seek the benedicition of lis spirit, confident that we have labored well. "Proof of this may be found in some recent occurrences while the :>ast two decades, are studded with incidents of similar significance. "On November 6, the Virginia Organization Society, at its an. nual meeting in Manassas devoted ill three sessions of the first day >f a three-day program to^business. rhe other two days being divided aetween the four other phafea Vpf :hc or.;animation w??-k? ? i , , : " ^WTTu-ri?n?wi'i'k OiPvysiiU'i1, thfl " land grant college presidents, and :heir guests, of whom Dr. Patter son was one, devoted the entir ;hree (lays of their conference, except for'the_ few hours necessary to conducting elections antLntheressentials, to listening to 14 active business pcbple, seven business and industrial educators, and five Government representatives concerned \vith these fields of endeavor, discuss the requirements 0i the different lines of business, and what our colleges may do to better prepalre the sUidbnt output foiv,; service in the field of business or for a sustainins appreciation of the businesses about them. "Just one month ago., at the installation of President MacLean it Hampton Institute and the Na-I ional Defense conference conducted there, business men occupied prominent places on the program "Sigma men have been instrumental in organizing business in Virginia, in, N.ew England, Louisiana and elsewhere; Many of. the officers of the National Negro Business League are Sigma, men. Memorial Services to I)r. Moton Sunday at Tuskegee was a day :>f reverence for the Sigma dele-\ eates. Following the Sunday morning chapel service, the delegatewent in a body to the grave of Booker T!" Washington where, with appropriate words of tribute, presi dent Lawrence placerj a wreatl upon the grave. In the evening, the vesper hotn at Tuskoaee Institute was given ever to a memorial service to Dr R. R. Moton. Tuskegee's second president and an active member of Sigma. Following the usual devotionals led by chaplain H. V Richardson of the Institute, President Patterson p? sen tod Presilent Lawrence who in turn introduced Sigma'k speaker for the evening, Prof. Z. D. Lenoir, director of the social science department of the Vashon high school hi St. Louis. Professor Lenoir cave an interesting biographical sketch of Dr. Moton's early years at Hampton and later his gradual emergence as a national figure because of his work as Hampton's commandant and one of the founders of the Negro Organization Society of Virginra. In recounting Dfc. Moton's continued growth in service to his people as president of Tuskegce. the speaker reminded the chapel audience of the growth in Tuskeaee endowment funds, the honorary degrees, his membership on the national hoard of the Y. M. C. A. and the Jeanes Fund Board and >f hjs selection as the only speak er at the unvernng Oi me Liincuii< Memorial in Washington, I). C. "We cannot think of Dr. Moton as taking Dr. Washington's place,'' said professor .'Lenoir, "for Dr. Moton made his own place in the heart of the American people noonl.v because of his unselfish interest in the cause of human welfare without regard to race. He was a prince among men." Resolutions The resolutions adopted recommended the raising cf a special fund to be appropriated in support of agencies seeking to advance the interests of the Negr0 through Federal a-hd State legislation. Extension of the functions of th< Commercial Counsellor to include stimulation of vocational education and support of "Nesr0 business and any business which employ? Negroes."
