I. Washington, the most remark
able man of the Negro race in
modern times. died at his home,
Tuskegee Institute, on the 18th of
November. He was born in Vir-
ginia about the year 1859. The
story of his early struggle to be
educated is ,;ell known. He en-
tered Hampton Institute and
worked his way through and up.
He was asked to start similar in
stitution, and Tuskegee is the out
come. He lived for his beloved
institute, because through it he
saw the elevation of his race, and
now he has died for it. Worn out
with his laboIs, he passed away at
comparatively early age. But he
has left behind him a magnificent
record of what determination, per
severance and courage, coupled
with the fear of God, can do.

MAJOR MOTION NEW
HEAD OF TUSKEGEE

The committee appointed by
the trustees of Tuskegee Institute
to select a successor to the late
Booker 7. Washington as princl-
pal of Tuskegee, reported De-
cemher 20 unanimously in favor
of Major Motion. The following
gentlemen comprising the com
mittee met in New York, and aft
Ell a thorough investigation, made
their selection: Seth Low, chair
man; w. w. Campbell, of Tuske-
gee, Ala; Victor H. Tulane of
Montgomery; Frank Trumbull of
New York and formerly of Den
W.. Colo 'ffe committed N max
ing the appointment said a com
pliment to the secretary, Emmett
j. Scott. in the following: In
taking this action the committee
has not been unmindful of the
long devotion and many qualifl-
cations of Emmett j. Scott for the
position. The problem to be dealt
with is a many-sided one, and it
has seemed wise to seek a solu-
ton of it that will bring to the
work of Tuskegee another force
full personality"
The Colorado Statesman con
graduates Major Motion on his
promotion to this position, espe-
cially from the fact that the ed
itor is an alumnus of Hampton
class of 1882, and wishes him
every success in his new sphere,
realizing the responsibility de
volved on him and believing him
to be a worthy successor to a
great man.
The installation will take place
at commencement in May, when
his new duties will start, and the
same faithfulness, we trust, will
guide him at Tuskegee as it now
does at Hampton.
The following expression from
Major Motion, on learning of his
appointment, proves his ability to
grasp the position: 'I accept this
great responsibility with sense
of anxious humility. DIR. Wash
ington was truly a great man,
viewed from every angle. can
not fill his place; but with the
guidance and support of Tuske-
gees wise and sympathetic board
of Trustees, and with the earnest
cooperation and loyal help of the
faithful and efficient corps of
workers whom DIR. Washington
gathered about him at Tuskegee,
I will endeavour, to the best of
my ability, to carry forward the
work to which he gave his life in
the same spirit and with the same
rational methods which he so
wisely and so successfully used. >
We feel sure these words will
live in his memory and afford the
successful career which lies be-
fore him.

many to be one of his best:
