SOUTHERN NEGRO
In Northern University. William Pickens in April Nunbe er
of the Voice of the Negro of Atlana Ca,
Writes Interestingly on the Subject.

The American Negro seems on
the higher verge of an Education
al Renaissance; the clark ages
of materialism have had their de-
cade Many are looking forward
to further their education in better
institutions than the south can at
present afford to them. A word to
these ambitious young is appro-
pirate.
1t is important that the young
Negro from the South, who is
about to enter Yale or Harvard,
should not be handicapped by
wong expectations and presup-
positions. Let him remember
that he is simply going from one
part to another part of the same
society, whose respective practices,
though somewhat difficult, have
much the same theories at bottom.
Yes, his whole case is to be prov
en-; not a single presumption will
lie in his favor, neither as to
scholarship nor character, 1t is
as if the defendant has entered
court with every presumption on
the side of the accuser. In the
Southern college from which he
came his very membership in the
college family" demanded certain
favorable judgment from those
about him, But in this new en-
! vironment both professors and
students, in spite of reason and in
spite of themselves, eye him with
a distant curiosity. What doeth
this man here? He is not of us /;
he has entered high in his class, to
be sure, but has not every "wise"
white man and every 'levelheaded"
Negro in the land declared that no
black man should darken the
threshold of higher learning until
tho whole race has some wealth
and high type of character? 1t
does not occur to them that it is
equally reasonable to say: No boy
should touch water until the ma
iority can swim, and none should
see ice till all can skate.
The Negro must stand alone and
prove his case; his highest need is
levelhead and a good fund of
common sense.
Last year there were about thir-
ty Negro students at Harvard, and
about half as many at Yale. The
great majority were from the
South and most of them self sup
porting. Their average scholar
ship would be good way above
the average for the white students,
for the Negroes represent the
brighter and more energetic Sec
tion of their race.
Those who have come from the
South and who has gone as high
as possible in Southern institu-
The Colorado statesman., 1905-04-22

tions, have the advantage in al
most every way over those who
were educated in the North or who
went thither early in their educa-
tional career. The Southerner is
more scholarly, for the absence of
certain industrial opportunities in
the North is peculiarly detriment-
al to the ambition of her average
Negro citizen. As a rule the
Southerner is more levelheaded
for in the environment from which
he came, opposition was pronounc
ed and unambiguous, and he is not
easily deceived by a superficial
show of courtesies; while the very
Inconsistency between the social
and industrial life of the Northern
brother has kept him in a state of
vacillation-he has never come
into equilibrium with his environ
ment, never found lust where he's
at" Consequently he has less
pertinacity, less capacity for re-
sistence in the same straight line
Both will be subject to many pet
ty Sights and snubs The North
erner will be unbalanced, overcome
will lose his head and lose the
battle. But the Southerner has a
coat of mail which sheds all petty
thrusts as the eagles wing sheds
rain drops absolutely ignoring
them.
Ere long, he finds that he has
not an ounce more of opposition
in the white students from the
South than from those of the
North. But he will find the
Southern white more frank, and
the Northern white more secretive
the Southerner more subject tc
feeling, the Northerner more sub.
ject to law. The Southern whites
will divide themselves into three
well defin ed classes; few who are
''self-opinioned" enough to be the
colored Students best friends
some who are small enough to fiji
into the pettiest schemes for his
discomforture; and others who
are magnanimous enough to neith-
er help nor hinder, love nor hate

they may be at heart subject tc

nevertheless such a sense of form.
