A NEGRO AT OXFORD.

En- accordance with the provis-
ions of Rhodes will, the Rhodes
scholars are annually entertained
at dinner by the trustees. Now
one of the American scholars in
OxfOrd at present is a Negro,
man Of ability and general excell-
ence of character. Naturally he
was invited with the rest to the an
nnal dinner To the amazement
of Oxford, some of the Americans
from the Southern States refused
to attend the friendly function!
I'VE had heard of ce-preJudice
and race problems in America,
but Oxford is not America, and the
Negro nnder graduate is in po-
sition of perfect social equality
with the white man; he is one of
us. We did not perhaps openly
blame the men from the South:
but we did feel that it was alto
gether wrong to introduce into Ok
ford prejudices of this kind. and
be felt further that the influence
of Oxford could not have penetrat-
ed very deeply into the minds of
at least some of her American
students. 1t is the business of ed
ucated gentlemen to overcome pre-
judice, not to foster it; and most
assuredly Oxford is not the place
iu which to display it."-Ex.

In every city of the United
States may be found able, educat-
ed and successful colcred people.
poets, artists, orators, elocutionists.
teachers, clereymen and scholars,
besides good business men and
women
And yet the majority of white
people IN our country. even those
of kindly interest in the colored
race, persistently talk aboMt the
failure of the Negro to make pro
gress and the problem which this
failure presents to our country
The Negro has not failed; he has
not proven himselfincapable He
has, on the contrary. shown amuz-
ing power to rise out of the awful
ignorance imposed upon bim first
by the savage conditions Of his ma
tive land, and later by the fetters
placed upon him by the white race.
And now comes the discovery,
by an archeologist, of buried city
in Abysinia which brings to light
treasures OF art and shows indicI-
tions of a high state of civilization
once enjoyed by the Negro races
of prehistoric times.
1t is the first ray of light which
history or science has ever offer.
ed the colored race regarding their
inherited qualities. Always has it
been insisted upon that they were
hopeless savages from the earliest
start. and that any exception only
proved the rule.
Itshould give the colored race
new hope and courage to know
that lis original state was one OF
culture and achievement. Mean.

rank and file of the race today is
