Tho Nagro IN Ton

The color line was drawn at Harvard Col
| 1ege last week, when the colored student, Glenn
ent Garrett Morgan, of Washington, ID. c., was
chosen as the class orator. 1t has been learned
| that the vote was close one, the negro winning
| by only ono vote. The meeting was secret and
| but little could DO learned, but il is certain
| that Morgan was elected by bare majority.
| All the other officers were elected by hand
some majorities, but the trial of strength be-
tween the negro and one of the swells or ma
hobs required several hours to decide, as the
convention did not adjourn until after mid
night. When the vote was finally announced
| the swells called for recount, but when this
was finished they retired gracefully from the
field, for Morgan was duly declared elected.
After the announcement of the vote, how
ever all hands congratulated the victor. His
color had not so much to do with the case as his
| occupation. for tho victor worked his way
through the college by barberiDg during his
| off hours. His antecedents and the fact that
| he was barber, worked against him with the
elite, but his supporters considered that the
election of a colored man who had won his way
| through college by his own exertions would
be handsome way of showing Harvard's
friendship for the race, especially in view of
the fact that such men as Sumner, Phillips and
Others were Harvard men, and worked persis-
tently for their freedom
In other words, the "bloods" were downed
by the "parvenues" and they glory in the
IaCC All the poorer people worked Tor the
negro. and the man who was defeated had the
good grace to say that outside himself no man
in tho class was better equipped for the
honor.
Tho bloods" have heretofore run the cleo
ton, and, until short time ago. the balance of
the class have hnmbly submitted, but last year
the rule was broken, as it is again this year.
Morgan is the son of former slave, now liv-
ing in West Washington. ID. c., where the young
man was born. and attended and graduated from
the High School In Washington be learned his
trade AS a barber and worked in barber shop.
Later be taught school at ST. Louis. his ulti
mate object being the earning of money enough
to go to Harvard. He went to Boston in 1884,
entered the Latin school, and graduated in
1885 with honorable rank lie entered Har-
ward in the Fall of 1886, and during his vaca-
ton he worked in a Saratoga hotel He also
earned money delivering lectures in New Eng
land on the colored problem. He won the prize
for oratory last year by recitinR Carl Schurz's
Grafton on THE Emancipation Proclamation"
This was not generally known to the class and
this fact Is the chief reason why he was not
regarded as formidable competitor for class
orator.
