SOLUTION IS FOUND
FOR LECTURE PROBLEM
MAY Decide to Give Two Lee
lures, Instead Of One, at
Government Hospital.

A way out Of the situation arising from
the race question. which was called to the
front by students Of Georgetown and
George Washington universities recently
when they refused to attend lectures at
the Government Hospital for the Insane
at which students from Howard Uni
versity attended, has bee nsuggested from
an unexpected source. The white patients
at the hospital, used by DR.. White in
his lecture course, have objected to being
used for the colored students and, as a
result, two lecture courses probably will
be decided on DR.. White, if the lectures
are resumed, will take charge of the
white students as before, using white
PATIENTS an assistant OF DR.. White. using
colored patients to illustrate his points,
will lecture to the colored students.
This arrangement, while tentative
probably will be carried through within a
short time. While Dr. White has con-
tended throughout that, much as he re-
GREETED 1t, he could not find time to give
two lecture courses the white students,
backed by the faculties of their universe
ties. have politely refused to attend the
lectures because Of the presence of color
ed students.
While DIR. White could not see his way
clear to give or order a second lecture
course because fthe race prejudice, he
feels constrained to observe the wishes Of
the patients in the matter. As the white
patients have objected to serving as ex-
amples before colored students, and as
colored patients would not suit the pur-
poses of white students, DIR. White feels
that he may be called upon to order a
second lecture course of the colored con-
tingent. to be given by one Of his assist
ants on the hospital staff
This plan. which has been broached to
the deans Of both medical schools, has
met with favor. and probably will be con-
summated shortly.
