This day was observed in all religious services on the campus during the day. A short pro gram was presented in Sunday School with Misses Louise Gaillard and Anatol Reeves participating; Dr. Kelsey was the guest speaker of the committee in Ves- pers; and there was a special Y. W . C. A. meeting in tin' evening as the feature of the day. This meeting was held in the fireside dining-room with Dr. Ira De A. Reid, of the Department of Sociology at Atlanta University, as guest speaker; there were also present in this meeting representatives from the Young Peoples Christ ian Associations of Clark and Em ory Universities and the colleges of Mor o Mrs. Ernestine G. Milner Guilford College, North Carolina ris Brown. Georgia Tech and Morehouse. The address was preceded by a prayer, a spiritual, and a solo, “Deep River.” sung by Miss Frazetta Williams. The subject of the address was “Race Tensions in the Modern World.” In his address Dr. Reid cited the diffi culties that the races of today encounter. He reviewed the outstanding problems of racial adjustment and said that the work is not for emotion, nor is it for logic, but a combination of logic and intelligent emotion. Mr. Reid led us to believe that our problem is an inherited one and came about because of the travels of races in earlier days from one specific region to another among other peoples. “The race problem,” said Mr. Reid, “had no forma tion and no reason, but it has at its base social problems that usually press down on minority groups. In his talk, he made a brief trip around the world touching race problems of the Negroes of the Caribbean region, the Jews of Germany, the Negro of America, the “Poor Whites” of America, the Japanese and Chinese people of Asia, and the Africans. W ith the aid of appropriately designed posters made by Mr. Hale Woodruff, Mr. Reid gave a geographical and historical survey of the seething Caribbean, an economic and religious discussion of the wandering Jew. a summary of facts about the perma nent minority race of America, a short resume of the nonmistakable characteris tics of the Poor Whites and the Blacks, a clear view of a wild Asia, the situation of the half caste peoples, the dark plight of the African, and named South America as a land for the free and a home for the brave. A live forum discussion followed, and tlie singing of the Negro National An them closed the meeting.
