Tillhlan, ’20, who is working on his Doctorate at the University of Wisconsin, has been active in inter racial work while in Madison. He recently spoke at a meeting of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People on the reasons for the compara tively small Negro enrollment in institutions of higher learning. Mr. Tillman laid special emphasis on the fact that the student sees no opportunity ahead for put ting into practice the training and skill which he ac quires in colleges and universities. Albert W. Dent, 26, has been released from his duties as Endowment and Alumni Secretary of Morehouse Col lege in order that he might accept the position of Super intendent of the new $400,000 Flint Goodridge Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. In the three years that Mr. Dent has been at Morehouse he has organized the alum ni into a functioning group, gathered and recorded data of the graduates and fully 95 per cent of the students who attended the institution for one or more semesters, and has been instrumental in securing pledges from col ored people to the amount of $115,000 of which $30,000 has been paid in cash. We feel sure that the same tact, fine judgment and business acumen that gave success to Mr. Dent’s efforts at Morehouse College will be de voted to this new task. He has our best wishes. Maynard H. Jackson, 14, has been pressed into serv ice to continue the campaign of collecting the $100,000 pledged by Negroes to Morehouse College. Mr. Jack- son brings to the work a new enthusiasm, a well-trained mind, and a wide experience as a business man, pastor, and as National Field Secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. It is hoped that every alumnus, student and faculty member of More house College will cooperate with Mr. Jackson in help ing to put over the big job confronting him. He comes to serve his Alma Mater in this emergency with a leave of absence of six months from his pastorate at the New Hope Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. Walter R. Chivers, ’19, Professor in the Department of Sociology at Morehouse College, was granted a leave of absence of one semester last year to study lynching as special investigator for the Commission on Inter racial Cooperation. This report, under the title of, “The Report of the Southern Commissions on the Study of Lynching.” has just been published. Copies may be se cured from the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 703 Standard Building, Atlanta, Georgia. H. Councill Trenholm, ’20, President of the Alabama State Teachers College at Montgomery, spoke over a coast-to-coast hook-up on the National Education Week Program over the National Broadcasting System from Washington. Mr. Trenholm is serving this year as Presi dent of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools and the Alabama State Teachers Association. Edward S. Hope, ’23, is at home after spending three years in South America doing hydro-electric engineering. At present, Mr. Hope is building a new roadway on the Spelman campus from a point at the intersection of the roads at Giles and Packard Halls to Greensferry Avenue at a point almost directly in front of the Chestnut Street intersection. The new roadway is being built so that the new library will be more accessible to Spelman students.
