HAMPTON GRAD
YATES AND EX-
STUDENTS TO
GIVE ATHLETIC
FIELD
Great Enthusiasm Shown Over
Project-Every Hamptonian to
Be Reached-$5,000 Pledged
Before Campaign Is Announced
Editor Abbott of Chicago
Defender" Pledges $1,000.
BY Charles II. Williams.

r HAMPTON, VA. March. 31.-The
spirit of racial consciousness that
had its rebiIth during the World
War is being turned into something
tangible by Negraes throughout the
country. The Hampton Institute grad
yates and ex-students have caught this
new spirit of self-help. They are rails
ing sufficient money to build and equip
modern athletic field.
The idea that the graduates and eX-
students of Hampton should equip an
athletic field, with grandstand. quar-
ter-mile track, 22O-yard straight-away,
football and baseball fields, was intro
duced last January at meeting of the
Executive Committee of the Alumni
Association. The committee voted to
plans for II campaign that will reach
every Hampton graduate and eX-stu-
dent
Sixty leading graduates and eX-stu-
dents, who have been asked to serve
on the Athletic Field Committee and to
give their financitl and moral support
are responding in n most liberal way.
DIR .R. r. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
Institute, pledged the first $1,000 to-
ward the field for the Hampton grad
yates and eX-students who are work
ing at Tuskegee. The graduates and
ex-students who are working at Hamp-
Robert S. Abbott, class of 1896, own
er and editor of the "Chicago Defend
er," has pledged 81 900 toward the
field. This is the largest pledge to
date
Hampton students are enthusiastic
and have pledged nearly $1,000. Grad
yates at Penn School, Frogmore, S. c.,
and at Princess Anne Academy, Prin-
cess Anne, Md, have sent their
pledges.
The field with cost more than $780,
00O To secure this amount of money
from Hampton graduates and ex-stu-
dents seemed at first like Doubtful
undertaking.
Realizing that every Hampton grad
uate and ex-student is anxious to have
n share in this undertaking and that it
may not be possible for everyone to
give cash Immediately, the committee
has arranged TO have the payments of
pledges made as follows: First half
on or before July 1, 1921; the second
half on ar before July l, 1922.
Trustees Approve the Idea.
The Hampton trustees at their re-
cent meeting gave informar cOnsidera-
ton to the athletic field proposition
and expressed their willingness to al
lot the necessary land.
The completion of the proposed field
at Hampton would enable Negro
schools to hold national meets and
would serve as a great factor in devel-
oping the young manhood of the coun-
try. For this reason the movement has
the endorsement, not only of Hampton
graduates and eX-students, but of all
who are interested in developing the
finest type of American citizens.
