FISK UNIVERSITY FACES CRISIS.
Noted Institution in Danger of Losing
Vast Sum-BattIe for Higher Edu-
cation of Negro Youth Colored
People Called to Help.

Fisk University, the most noted
Negro institution for higher educa-
ton, is facing a serious crisis in its
attempt to raise an endowment fund
The institution was offered $4,000
more than two years ago by the Gen
eral Education Board, on condition
that it raise $240,000 in addition, for
liquidation of accumulated indebted
ness of about $4,000, for repairing
and refitting buildings, for the install
lation of a heating and lighting plant,
and for endowment. An amount of
100000 was to be raised, two-thirds
of which was to go for endowment
The institution has run all these
years almost entirely through the
support, from year to year, OF white
friends in the North.
About 200 of these white friends
have contributed toward the present
endowment effort, but the total
amount given leaves 100000 yet to
be raised. The time limit of the ini-
tial offer of the General Education
Board expires June 1st, and the uni
versity authorities have no assurance
that this time limit will be extended.
The alumni are carrying on loyal
rally to raise $4,000 as their share OF
the IunQ, Uul lueIe Will oliii lSHoiA
nearly 100000 which must be Sc
cured from other friends. The white
friends of the Negro have contribut-
ed generously to this fund and now
are asking what the colored people
propose to do. The authorities of the
University are making nationwide
appeal to the colored people to rally
to the rescue of this institution which
for AZ years has offered all that is
highest and best in education and
culture to the Negroes of the land.
They want 100000 colored people to
send them at least 81 between now
and June 1st. Checks and money or
ders should be made payable to FISK
University and may be sent to the
editorial office of this paper or di-
rectly to Fisk University at Nash
vile, Tenn All contributions sent to
the office of this paper will be ac-
knowledged in its columns. Shall we
rally to the call of an institution
which from its foundation has aimed
to set the feet of, young Negroes in
the path to all the learning and cul-
ture which the best institutions of
the land afford?

That California seems determined
and certain of passing laws affecting
the alien holding lands, temporary or
permanent, is beyond all question.
That the passing of such laws may
involve international questions is al
most certain. That other states like
Oregon, Illinois, ETC., have passed
alien laws affecting ownership of
property and leasing of land, is un-
disputed, and why California should
be prevented from passing similar
law cannot be understood by the Cal
ifornians. In a nutshell, the whole
question is whether states rights, so
long worshipped by the Democrats
and w. ]. Bryan, will supersede the
federal constitution and its treaties.
The solving of this situation may
show the weakness of their long wor-
shipped hobby.
1t is pleasing to note and observe
that the Colorado bankers who have
could not get money easily from
Eastern markets, have agreed to send
II representative of theirs to the Eur
opean money markets to get all the
money they want at a much cheaper
rate than in our own country. This
move will certainly rebound to the
progress and upbuilding of Colorado.
Mines can be opened. tunnels dug,
irrigation schemes promoted, and
farms developed, and again Colorado
will come into her own.
