THE LAKELAND NEWS
WAR AT LAST

AS we write (at 2:30 this after
noon) the message that for days we
have expected and feared has come
over the wires. We had hoped up TO
the last moment that something
would allow continuation of peace
with honor-some twist of the inter
national situation some Weakening
on the part of the naughty power
that has overriden our rights so long
that further endurance would be
crime. But the march of events has
gone forward steadily and relentless
ly. and the war cloud, erstwhle no
larger than mans hand, has OBJ
scurred the entire horizon and the
storm at which we have jested in
skepticism of its coming is upon us.
II is a solemn time. fraught with
tremendous potentialities. and fore
boding consequences that no man can
foreshadow At best, we can hardly
hope to get through without consid-
cradle bloodshed, loss of property,
unsettled business conditions, finan-
cial sacrifices. national anxiety. II
is folly to underrate our enemy; it
is futile to attempt to estimate the
violence OF the struggle that lies be-
fore us. or the length of time that ii
may engage us. Perhaps the most
distressing part of the whole matter
is the possibility of internal disor
der growing out of the large per
centage Of foreign population in some
SECTIONS OF the country.
II Is a time for every citizen-ev-
rs man, woman and child Ito strive
to arrive at a correct conception OF
what true patriotism is, and to for
Iulate their lives in accordance with
thai conception. Among those whose
age. lack Of responsibilities and 9TH
er circumstances, make them proper
subjects for enlistment there should
be no shirkers. Every man should
holu himself ready to do whatever
service he may be capable to give,
whatever form it may be suggested
by those in authority this service
should take And all our people, ir-
respective of age or sex, should hy
rrccept and example promul ate the
principles OF loyalty and make every
effort to bring about and preserve ma
tional solidarity. He who would bring
division among the people at this time
is traitor of the worst type. And
II should be remembered that some
OF the best citizenship of this coun-
try is Of German blood. and that no
descendant of Maynower stock sur
passes this citizenship in loyalty TO
this country and her institutions.
Let our patriotism take the form
of sane. conservative, citizenship.
rather than the noisy demonstration
OF thourhtlcss mobocracy. ct every

$4,000 already donated by him for q
library building made his total ton.
tribution to Wilberforce university $37,.
500.
1t has today an enrolment Of 800
young men and women, from nearly
all the states OF the Union, from the
isles of the sea and from Africa, and
needs still larger quarters for them.
We are therefore sending this appeal
to the Independent, to the readers Of
this stanch and fearless paper, to the
friends Of Negro education generally
and to the friends Of DR.. William
Hayes Ward In particular, asking their
aid In accomplishing our purpose. The
cost Of this proposed building will be
$4,000. We beg earnestly that out
Of their philanthropic love Of human
ity, out of their interest in education
as the saving and uplifting power Of
q nation as well as a race and out Of
their friendship for and pride In the
master mind that has gone to its re-
ward our friends and DR.. Wards
friends will assist us in accomplishing
our purpose. The memory Of one who
delighted In service will thus be per
petuated in an institution whose aim
Is service.
Hamilton Holt, editor Of the Inde-
pendent, New York, throws the weight
of his influence toward the efforts Of
DR.. William Sanders Scarborough to
raise funds for the erection Of suit
able science building at the Wilber-
force university. Mr.. Holt says:
1.-THE Independent is glad to publish
the appeal to its readers from the
president of Wilberforce university. l
may add that l have visited WILDE
force, know its president well and
can vouch for the good work being
done there for the elevation of the Ne
gro.
"While the university maintains q
very good Industrial department, It has
always stressed the higher education
of the Negro. believing its greatest
service lay in training its students for
life and for the leadership
of the race. l have often heard DR..
Ward speak with enthusiasm of the
work Wilberforce was doing, and I am
sure that any of his friends who feel
like responding to President Scar
borough's appeal will be aiding a gen.
uinely worthy project"
The Denver star., 1917-01-27

Negro He virtually devoted his life
to the interests Of the race. By voice
and pen he aided our emancipation, up
held our rights and denounced our
wrongs, advocated our education and
encouraged our ambitions.
He inspired us with hope for a fu
ture free from prejudice and proscrip-
ton. DIR. Ward was also personal
friend Of Wilberforce university and
of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, the chief
of its founders. Whatever pertained
to its welfare deeply interested him.
Therefore he noted with deep regret
on a visit some four years ago when ne
addressed us during commencement
week that our quarters for science
teaching were totally inadequate.
Every one who knew DR.. Ward
knows what keen interest he took
in all lines of scientific endeavor and
research. 1t seems to US. therefore.
very fitting that we strive to build for
our great need a monument to him
that will not only show our grateful
appreciation as people OF bis labors
In our behalf, but that will also have
q close connection with the things In
which he took 80 great delight. 1t IL
equally fitting that the Oldest Negro
school In America should be the one to
put forth this effort and that Its cam
pus should be the spot where such
memorial shall stand.
DR.. Ward was always quick to recog
nize a real need. and there Is no ques
ton that a science building is one OF
the greatest needs Of Wilberforce uni
versity today All its class work along
scientific lines is greatly hampered by
lack of room for work and for even the
proper placing of the laboratory equip
ment for which friends are making ar
rangements to provide. Our work
planned for advance study demands
the new building. as does the constant
ly increasing work in certain industries
and in agriculture.
We cannot even make the most prof
table use of our small but well select
ed museum because 1t cannot be prop
erly arranged in our present crowded
quarters. Thus we find very impor-
tant work suffering at every point b.
cause Of needed enlargement
Wilberforce university. because Of
Its strategic situation. its environment
and many admirable facilities, is one
Of the strongest centers of Negro high
er education In the country. Its work
Is constantly growing. It provides all
around training in literary courses,
teachers training and vocational
courses, of which there are seven.
With forty-one Instructors and 500
students, 1t is serving most acceptably
IN wide field of Negro education.
1t Is the oldest institution Of its kind
in the United States. as have just
said, dating as far back as 1S47. when
was founded the Union seminary, q

tion of colored people. and which was
subsequently merged into Wilberforce

the great English statesman and ben
