Reason No. may be set FORTH in
the following: We call now upont the
witness stand the graduates, the Yum.
dergraduates, or any other studRnt
that has stayed There long enough 10
learn the real disposition of the \, es- A
ident, and out of the thousands with [
whom he has had to to, now and then
among so many, there will come a
word of commentator or congratula-
ton for the president. These
students, graduates, and undergradu-
ates leave the institution year after
year, deep down in their hearts, a
feeling that is not tender and COM
mendable for, the president, and as
such they go throughout the length
and breadth of this country, telling as
they go, the walls and sorrows and I'M
manly subiugation through which
| they had to do, in order that they
had to do, in order that they might
obtain the goal of their efforts. Not
that it was necessary that they should
go through them, but FROM the story
they tell, this treatment il but the out
lines of the disposition of the presi-
utuJ. OuCn uIOh OhO
students who from time to time enter
the school and go through and out OF
the school are but filing the state and
country up with young men and wom-
en- together with a disgruntled ex-
teaching force as avowed enemies to
the school, If for no other reason
than No. g. it alone is sufficient for
the Baptists to rise up in their might
and power and force a separation of
DR.. Booker and the college.
In the fourth and last place, he is
too little at heart. He does not see
his position in the light the Psalmist
David saw his position as a king.
When David saw that he had little
ness of heart as a leader, when he had
found that he had selfish spirit,
when he had taken under considera-
| ton that he was at the head of a
| government that represented all OF
the tribes of Israel, when he had the
conception that he was the peoples
| man and not a tribes man, when he
had recognized that the business OF
/ which he was the manager was all or
/ the peoples concern, ne recognized
t the fact that his heart was too little
c to take in the situation like it had
t dawned upon his vision. therefore he
! cried out, Lord / will wolk in thy
statues and run in thy way when thou
t hast enlarged my heart" A man
e that is honored to head an educa-
}. tional institution which represents
9 the spirit of hundred thousand Ne
o gro Baptist should have heart large
y enough to confer with the teachers
t upon any proposition that affects the
}, student body, of the teaching force in
h a reasonable an in Christianity way.
e His heart should be large enough SO
e that any student might approach him
g in the proper spirit of subordination.
y His respects for the rights of others
r who are his co-equals as men and
Y women should be high-class. His
n dealing with his Baptist brethren who
Y differ from him in opinion and princi-
j, pie, in the operation and maintenance
n. Of the work should be coupled with
g Christian fellowship and ordinary
n common sense. The spirit to drive
e to ignore to put down, to kick out, To
ir disrecognize, to Insult, to have his
s. way to rule or ruin, is not the spirit
IL that will guarantee success and the
,e increasement of financial friends ani
~ moral supporters, to the A. B. G.
ut therefore, the separation of Booker
p and the A. B. c.. is essential The
as sooner the better. Baptist everywhere
n throughout the length and breadth o.
of the state should set up and take
Id notice. More to follow.
