is a public need at once great and obvious.
Objections TO the remission OF the rental

certain the small amount Of money involved
would be supplied as in fact II has been sup

ever. 10 place the majority OF the Common
Council in Az unenviable position.
y wellequipped negro hospital is a vital
necessity here in Richmond. White citizens
when they survey the situation with an i'm
partial eye, never fail to be convinced they
themselves arc deeply concerned. Surely il
is TO Richmond's advantage that the life and
health OF the negroes who form so large a
part of the city's laboring population and who
are so essential to the city's growth and
prosperity. be protected and conserved
White families are In touch with negro
families every day. Practically the whole

Gifts to the University

\ ANNOUNCEMENT of a gift of $3.50 900 to
~ the University Of Virginia is graft fu
news to the loyal alumni OF that great insti,u-
ton and TO the people OF Virginia. The
universty's inadequate endowment and the
niggardly support ii receives from the State
hamper development that has been won
derfui in spite OF all handicaps.
One of the conspicuous services President
Alderman has rendered has been To bring the
university and the people Of Virginia closer
together. 1t is his oft-proclaimcd ambition
to make the university in fact what it is in
thcory-the capstone Of the public school
system-and he has gone far toward realizing
that ambition.
There is yet gap between ideal and &C
conplishment. Gifts well and largely
needed, but the University Of Virginia should
he supported so far as is possible by the
State OF Virginia, and that support should be
generous.
