SCARBOROUGH LAuDs LATE
Or. WILLIAM HAYES WARD
Netsd Editor Was Nssro's Friend
Says President Of WiIbsrfores.

BY request of the New York lnde-
pendent DR.. W. 8. Scarborough, the
ocholarly president and able executive
Of the Wilberforce CO.. university. has
written the following appreciation of
the services rendered by the late VIII
Ham Hayes Ward to the colored race.
The article by DR.. Scarborough appears
n the September issue Of the Inde-
pendent
DR.. Scarborough says: with keeaest
sorrow I learn that . valued personal
friend Of the Negro race has passed
to the great beyond. and 1 gladly ac
cept the invitation to give q brief ap-
probation Of DR.. William Hayes
Wards work for the Negro. He has
virtually devoted his life to the inter
ests Of the race. to Its emancipation,
to its education, to its struggles. to its
ambitions, to Its possible future. with
out a particle Of prejudice.
Relieving that God made mankind
all Of one blood and that the Negro
should have free enjoyment Of the
rights and privileges Of any human
being and Of any American citizen,
DR.. Ward arrayed himself always on
that platform and fearlessly fought
the battles Of our race.
Prescription, segregation, mob VIC
lence, lynchings. denial of vote, all
race distinctions, all the thousand and
one indignities, prosecutions and cruel
ties and crimes against the Negro wher-
ever practiced. have found in him one
who denounced vigorously and unspar-
ingy all such as unlawful. unjust, un-
christian and inhuman.
His work did not stop with his siren
uous endeavors to right the wrongs
done the Negro, but he maintained that
the education of the race should be of
the highest type. declared and demon
strated its Intellectual capacity through
many Negro contributions to the Inde-
pendent on all lines of thought and en-
couraged all its ambitions and aspira-
lions as a people.
Everything connected with the race
won his personal interest, and he never
wavered in bis allegiance. Public opin-
ion never warped his convictions. Nor
did personal interest ever cause him to
swerve from the course he deemed
right In regard to the race.
There was no mere sentimentalism
In this. He was q Humanitarian Of the
most royal type. espousing our cause
because he believed 1t just one and
because We were lowly, weak. defense
less and friendless. So his warm heart,
his keen brain and his facile pen have
united for over fifty years to declare
through the Independent and every
other possible channel that he was the
Negro's stanch friend. The Negro
people have lost a most noble. loyal
champion. one they will ever hold In
grateful remembrance. May his man.
tie rest upon and forever infold the In
dependent"
DR.. Ward died at his home In Ber-
wick, Me-. Aug. %, 1915, In the eighty
second year of his age.
