however necessary they are for the pre-

the negro under the changed conditions

hope of what may be achieved within the
next quarter of a century. Freed from
the limitations that have SO long hamper
ed us and bouyant with the energy Of a
new life coursing through our veins we
shall press forward to the destiny that
awaits us. If, to the sentiment, the chiv-
airy and the hospitality that have char
acterized Southern life shall be added the
intellectual keenness, the spiritual sensi-
tiveness and the enlarged freedom Of the
modern world, the time is not far off

mize the struggle yet to be made before
they shall be generally recognized and
established. Unfortunately, many lead
ers Of educational work are hatterers,
rather than leaders of the people, and SO
stand in the way of genuine progress.
I have heard more than one president
of prominent southern institutions make
light of men who were independent IN
their thought and free in their utterance.
Tradition, conservatism, bigotry, prejn-
dice here as elsewhere, must stand In
the way of the children of light. In the
South, least of all, should a scholar be
dumb, or the institution of learning hide
its light under a bushel The Southern
college needs to become a more vital
factor in the life of the people not
timid or overcautious, but brave, even as
those who love truth and are the friends
of progress. You cannot write the his
tory of modern Germany without record
ing the heroic work of German scholars.
The story Of the renascence Of New Eng
land is but half told when Harvard Col
Iege is omitted. In the industrial edu-
cational and intellectual progress Of the

serve most consideration from the future

we are all rejoicing that Southern men

ourselves to the fact that We have much
