A SOCIAL DILEMMA.
Aristocratic Harvard Alumni Who Cannot

Aristocratic Harvard Alumni Who Cannot
Receive Coiored Man.
Washington Special.
The members of the Harvard Alumni Associa-
ton of this city find themselves confronted with
a social menace from which there is apparently
neither escape or retreat. The association was
formed year age. The membership includes
such gentlemen Of political prominence as Sec
rotary Lincoln, Commissioner Loring and 9TH
ers. Last week an informal meeting was held
at Mr.. Loring's house. at which Professor
Greener himself is Harvard graduate, and a
gentleman of the highest intellectual and scien.
tifc attainmants The gentleman who invited
Greener to accomdany him to the meeting
supplemented his courtesy by proposing
Greener's name for membership The
members looked at each Other in blank
dismay, and it was evident from their perturbed
eountenances that they wished Greener had
never been born. But there was no alternative,
and the dignihed and portly Commissioners, who
acted az chairman announced that at the next
Greener.s admission. Greener who, up to this
time, had entertained no idea OF joining the
club, was not slow to perceive the effect OF his
friends rashness, and thereupon in spirit of
mischief proposed the names of two other col
ored men, graduates of the class of 81, both OF
whom are employed in the public schools here.
Their names, like that of Prof. Greeners, were
held up for future action. Meanwhile, consider
able curiosity is expressed as to what the result
will be. The black balling of these gentlemen
might prove a boomerang to the political for
tunes of Messrs. Lincoln and Loring, while their
admission into the association would, it is
thought destroy at once its exclusiveness and
hmm
