The selection Of the negro Congressman will place
Southern republican leaders In A rather embarrassing

who do not regard negro participation IN politics III
the same light as the democrats. and az indignant pro-

Moving BAYLOR

What result the proposed removal of Baylor Uni
vcrsity from Waco to Dallas will have upon the future
Of that institution In the event the move is finally ap-
proved il a subject Of deep interest 70 All interested
in the educational development Of Texas. Baylor Uni
versity, while it is controlled by the Baptist denomi-
nation, is generally recognized as one Of the leading
educational institutions of the South. And anything
which affects Baylor directly or indirectly affects
Texas institutions.
The education commission Of the Baptist conven-
ticn Of Texas recommended the change. There can be
no doubt that the commission weighed carefully every
phase Of the situation and sought to vision the future.
No one can question the motives or sincerity back q
the commissions vote.
However, to the average layman who is not familiar
with all factors entering into the development q Cd
ucatonal institutions, it would seem that the wisdom
of the move 10 open 70 question. The offer 81 Dallas
Of S~i,500,0o0 in cash and 1000 acres for a college site
is very liberal and indicates the progressive spirit Of
the citizenship Of that city and the support accorded
those who are endeavoring to make Dallas the great
est educational center in the South. But does th1
offer Of Dallas offset the wealth Of Baylor traditions,
the associations which will ever remain vivid in the
recoHections of Baylor alumni Will the Dallas offer
offset the animosities which are almost certain T. ~
aroused, the controversies which will probably rage
for years. the lack Of the unified support which Baylor
now possesses? These are factors which cannot be
measured in the scale Of dollars; but they are factors
which must be considered.
Baylor University has performed and will continue
TO perform a very useful service for the people Of
Texas, regardless of what decision may be arrived
Mt In connection with the removal. But Il is question
able If any offer, no matter how liberal, could COM
pensate for what will be lost through removal Of the
institution from the city where Il has been developed
into one Of the leading educational institutions Of the
south.
Baylor needs the site and the funds Dallas has or
fered. and there can be no criticism Of the action Dali
las has taken. But it would seem there are other ways
in which the situation could be INST without severiny
from Baylor the old ties and traditions which can
never be replaced.
