DU BOTS TO BE AT FISK
UNIVERSITY.

The literary clubs of Fisk Uni
versity may indeed count themselves
Exceedingly lucky in having secured
the consent of Mr.. w. e. B. Du Bots
to address them on the night of their
club anniversary to be held in Me-
mortal Chapel April 26. Among the
many brilliant men that this race
has produced there is not one who
holds more lofty place in our hearts
than he does. The Hon. Booker T.
Washington represented the conserva-
tive people of our race; Mr.. Du Bots
represents the radical element. Both
elements are necessary. 1t has taken
both to free us from the ever present
evils of race prejudice. Mr.. Du Bots
needs no introduction to the public
His many vigorous fights for our
rights as American citizens and as
men and women have done much to
make the world realize that we have
the right to live as other men live
to die as other men die. He is a man
that we most heartily welcome into
our midst. He is a man of remarka-
BILE ability, being one of the fore
most scholars of the age. He is
known to most of us as an editor and
author. Some of his most promi-
nent works are: "The Souls of Black
Folks" "The Quest of the Silver
Fleece" and 'The Negro" ALI who
know the man should be present as
he Is sure to bring us something
worth understanding to ponder
over long and earnestly. 1t is a
