HARVARD'S ORATOR.


The seniors of Harvard College, the
greatest educational institution in this
country, have elected Clement Garrett
Morgan young Colored man as class
orator. This, ever since the establish
ment Of The university, has been co sid
cred among the highest Donors that call
be conferred on a fellow student, the dis
tinction shown Mr.. Morgan is all the
more to his credit, as he was selected,
not by reason of his color, but as just
recognition of his holastic.attainments
and the evidences he has given as a
student, that he is an orator in spirit and
in truth. The election was hotly con-
tested by the friends of Mr.. Wardner
an excellent scholar and a member OF
the Lampoon and Crimson Clubs.
When the result was announced Mr..
Morgan was congratulated by the entire
class, foremost among them being the
sons of Massachusetts bluest blood. A
member speaking for the class said:
"Morgan won the victory fairly, and de-
serves it being in every way qualified to
fill the place. The class of 80 can show
the country that Harvard students
aren't all snobs, and that they can
recognize merit, even if it is in Colored
man."
Mr.. Morgan has been obliged to work
his way through the college. His high
scholarship brought him considerable
money in the way OF beneficiary funds
and this he increased by working in a
Boston barber shop and working at the
Saratoga Hotels in summer. The Sec
retary of Harvard faculty IN speaking OF
the result said: Harvard is called the
college of the rich snobs, of the vicious,
of heretics, religious and political. In
Mr.. Morgan's election there stands out
shining denial to these sayings. If the
the largest seinor class ever registered
at an American college delights to honor
a poor young Colered man and make
him it's spokesman on its day of frater-
naty and rejoicing, there must be some
thing stronger at Harvard than money
and todyism." THE APPEAL on behalf
of its thousands of readers congratulates
the Harvard seniorsof 80 for in this one
act alone they have done more to break
down the damnable barrier Of Caste than
all the politicians could do in hundred
years. 1t is good lesson for Harrison
and his administration and reflect on
the sentiments as expressed by THE AP-
PEAL time and again, that the color line
will be broken by the cultivated citizens
of this country first and not by the
political blatherskites who are holding
Office by virtue Of our votes.

life were quite successful. I was lucky in
having tip-top fellow for manager-Gus
Bailey, an honest, square man, who could
keep his own secrets and other peoples too.
''Like most actors, was not quite salts
fed to play the parts for which was best
adapted; my told men, pleased the public
lar better than they did me. I preferred
the Romeo business, and once in a while
Bailey consented to bill me for such parts.
"By one of these condolences which really
do occur now and then, Murray, our lead
ing young man, broke his hip just at the
time Mile d'Esterre joined US, and I, having
been longer in the company than any other
man, was cast in his place. This made an
enemy for me of Lawrence, who firmly ex-
pected the promotion, but I cared little for
that.
''Had the whole company been down on
me would not have known it, for it was
patent to me as we'll as others that our new
star was quite well satisfied with the
change in her stage lover. Lawrence was
capital actor, but his private life was not
of the best, and that was one reason
why he did not get the vacant berth; occa-
sionally he would become too hilarious to
be depended upon and his under-study did
not enjoy sinecure.
"'HoW much you must ENJOY the Pastime
OF an Hour Mr.. Osmyn!' said Mile.
d'Esterre to me-
"'Why so?' said, in surprise.
I always see you in the wings, when you
are not on the stage, through the whole of
this act,' she answered.

girl with the fanciful French name was an
honest, simple-hearted American girl with

glad that she took note of where I was. I
