THE NEGRO GIRL AT vAssAR
She Betrayed Herself by Boasts of Her
Blue Blood

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. 15-Soci-
ETY. and educational circles in this city
are profoundly shocked by the announce
ment that one of the graduating class of
Vassar college this year was a negro
Girl, l,who, concealing her race, entered the
college, took the four years course and.
finally confessed the truth to the profess
sor few days before commencement.
She has been known as one of the most
beautiful young women who had ever
attended the great institution of learn
ing. At the reception on Founders
day, Philalethian DAY and the other holl-
days OF the college year, none Of the fair
students was more eagerly sought by
the men from Yale, Harvard and other
universities.
In her third year in college it was hint
ed that her ancestors might have had
colored blood mixed with the New Eng
land "blue blood" of which she was fond
of talking. She would often speak of Ter
brother, Of whom she seemed to be proud
and once the young man came to see her.
The other girls eyed him curiously. His
skin was Of the same dusky hue as his
sisters.
In her senior year the statements this
beautiful dark young woman made
about her relatives-their style of living,
the splendor of her home, etc.-prompted
her roommate, who already had her sus
picions aroused by gossip, to repeat them
to her father, well known business
man.
He caused inquiry to be made about the
pretty brunette's family in her native
town The investigation failed to find
