years. These lectures are said to be
very dne, indeed. and most valuable.
The students OF Georgetown University
and George Washington University, who
are studying along these lines. have
attended these lectures as part of the
curriculum. The students Of Howard
University have been invited to attend
also. There are about 80 Of these ne
gro students, and they are a splendid
looking lot of young colored men. The
unexpected was that when the students
of George Washington and Georgetown
Universities went to the lecture the
other day they found these 80 col
ored students occupying a place in the
hall. The white students, fearing to
lose caste in their social set, made up
their minds that they would no longer
attend the lecture course IL the negro
students were admitted. The faculties
of Georgetown and George Washington
Universities were very much disguised
with the foolshness of the young men,
and demanded that they apologize TO
DR.. White and attend the future lee
lures. Up to now the students have
refused to comply, and. as result, the
expulsion of the students concerned Is
threatened. DR.. George E. Kober. Dean
of Georgetown University faculty, in
sists that his students apologize for
their action.
DIR. White says that he believes that
the Howard University students are just
as much entitled to the benefit of his
lectures as white students are, and that
he communicated with DR.. E. A. Bal
lock, Dean of the medical faculty of
Howard University, asking that the stu
dents of that institution attend the
lectures and, Furthermore, he does not
intend to withdraw that invitation. DIR.
White says:
Il believe the negro students should
have an opportunity to hear the lectures
as well as white students. j Am sorry
this question has come up. This was
a scientific lecture. and race prejudices
should haze been forgotten
The students of the three universities
find in thesa lectures of DR.. Whites
their only opportunity to study mental
diseases. OF course, a good deal of fun
Is being made of these young freshieS
in the white universities, as they say
that their papas and mammas would
not permit them to attend the lectures
II they knew that they had to miDgle
with the colored students to do So
These dainty young men of the white
universities are mighty few of them
under 81, and go the limit in any other
sort of game without papa's or
mammals consent, and about the only
regard they pay TO papa and mamma is
to forward to them their unpaid bills;
so their sudden regard for the feelings
of papa and mamma Is likely to stir the
risibilites of people of really high caste
who do not fear association with brains, !
no matter what the color of the skin
that covers them.
