you make the following statement:
"I am sure you will understand why.
from the beginning, we have not
thought 1t possible to compel men Of
different races to reside together"
May I be permitted to amend your
statement so that 1t will accord with
the facts. Your statement should
read:
from the beginning, we have thought
1t expedient to compel men Of diner.

May I further suggest that Har.
wards surrender of it's tradition AMI
the tradition of liberal America to
the Shareholders prejudice intensifies
the very problem which you as Har'
wards spokesman are protesting te
meet. Such amelioration Of race prob
lens as has been brought about in
this country has occurred in large
measures through Southern students
who were met In Northern universe
ties by an unflinching affirmation OF
the equality OF all men in the realm Of
the arts and OF learning. One of the
most liberalizing influences on the
Southern racial situation has been
that the traditional stand Of Harvard
has afforded to Southern white stu
dents the opportunity of coming to
know as human beings their fellow
colored students with whom they
were associated. Deprive those South
ern students of their last opportunity
to learn the tolerance that comes of
living with and understanding men Of
all races, men with whom they will
have perforce TO live and mingle In
