Rev. Lawson Refuses To
Return To Vanderbilt Univ.
James M. Lawson, central figure
in the Vanderbilt university divi
nity school controversy, last week
turned down the offer of Vander¬
bilt Chancellor Harvie Branscomb
for a divinity degree.
Branscomb in what he said was
his final effort to settle the con¬
troversy, offered Lawson, who had
been expelled, a Vanderbilt divi¬
nity degree if he would have his
credits from Boston university di¬
vinity school, which he is now at¬
tending, transferred to the Nash¬
ville institution.
Informed o* this, Lawson said
“ a return to Vanderbilt would af¬
fect my conscience." He plans to
have his Vanderbilt credits trans¬
ferred here and get a Boston do
gree at the end of the summer
session.
Branscomb also accepted the re¬
signation “immediately” of Van¬
derbilt’s divinity school dean, J.
Robert Nelson, and gave the other
professors who quit along with
him a chance to withdraw their
resignations.
Nine have taken him up on the
offer.
Branscomb had proposed that
Lawson, expelled March 3 for re¬
fusing, to abide by student regula-
tions, could receive his
decree from Vanderbilt by trana-
fer of credits from Boston or by
taking written examinations at

steps can you take to eliminate
discrimination against Negroes
and to insure gas for Negro farm
ers in Fayette and Haywood
unties?”
Fayette and Haywood Counties
are in the southwest corner of
Tennessee near Memphis. Both
are cotton-farming areas and have
large Negro majorities. It is only
recently, under federal pressure,
that Negroes have been allowed
to register there at all. About
500 have registered in Fayette and
about 100 in Haywood.
McFerren says that lists of those
who registered are being circu¬
lated among merchants and gas
dealers, who then refuse to sell
to them. His brother had operat¬
ed the grocery and filing station
for 10 years, handling Gulf gas.
McFerren said that recently Gulf
representatives came and took up
his tanks.
John McFerren then invested his
own money to install his own
tanks at the filling station They
have a 12,000-gallon capacity —
enough to permit him to service
Negro farmers denied gas else¬
where. But McFerren said repre¬
sentatives of every oil company
doing business in the county re¬
fused to supply him gas. He went
to Memphis and was turned down
everywhere there, although he was
prepared to pay cash.
In replies to Aubrey Williams’
telegrams, top officials of Esso,
Texaco, and Gulf all denied parti¬
cipation in a boycott.
O. V. Tracy, president, Esso
Standard Division of Humble Oil

B ran geo mb made no provision
for Lawson to return to classes
at Vanderbilt.
Lawson’s expulsion resulted in
Divinity School Dean Nelson and
11 divinity school faculty members,
offering their resignations. !
Nelson’s resignation wa
eepted by Branscomb and he was j
relieved of his duties as dean.
Lawson’s statement said the)
chancellor's action “fully releases
all faculty members from further
obligation to continue in behalf
of racial justice and liberty of
conscience.
“While they worked largely on
my behalf,” Lawson said, “the is¬
sues involved stretch far beyond
the confines of any person or in¬
stitution.
“Regretfully, I cannot return to
Vanderbilt under the terms of the
compromise reached at the ex¬
pense of Dean Nelson. His de¬
parture and my expulsion are of
the same character.
“Bearing no ill will toward any
member of the Vanderbilt com¬
munity, I can only wish that uni¬
versity well in the months ami
years ahead.”
In announcing his decision, Bran-
scomb said “this matter is now

The president of Texaco, J. W.
Foley, 135 E. 42nd St., New York
City, wrote: “It is Texaco’s long
standing policy not to discrimin¬

Oil Corporation has not adopted
and will not adopt any policy that
discriminates against its valued
Negro customers ... I can assure
you that any necessary steps will
be taken to carry out this policy
Meantime, McFerren’s tanks re¬
mained empty, and he was still
waiting for some company to
agree to sell him gas.
