TIE FORUM

Of the public school, become surety
to the Board of Education that an
other emergency may never occur.
Howard University cannot be ex-
pected to agree that it viii never
again ask public officials OF the
District Of Columbia for the use of
a public building for an educational
and cultural community effort. The
right Of petition for redress Of
grievances is the basis of American
democracy, and no institution should
be compelled to relinquish that right
i'm order merely to use public
building for one occasion.
(3). Howard University gratefully
accepts the use of the Central High
School Auditorium for its presenta-
tion of Miss Anderson on April o,
hut wishes it plainly understood that
it in no wise by acceptance Of the
use of the building, agrees to the
conditions or implications contained
in the statement Of the Board Of
Education on March 8
Having stated the position OF
Howard University in reference to
this entire matter, which has become
a public question, the Howard Uni

versity Concert Series Committee,
In keeping with this statement, Is
completing the formal application
blank submitted to the Committee
by Mrs. Peoples. of the Community
Center, and returning it To her to-
day.
Because Of the wide, public inter-
est Ia this question outside Of the
City of Washington, as well as in
the city, copies Of this letter setting
out the position OF Howard Univers-
ity with reference to the conditions
prescribed by the Board Of Educa-

Howard Univ. and Citizens
Committee Refused to be Bound
by Washington School Board

for use Of the auditorium.
We thank the Board OF Education
for reconsidering the application,
and for resembling its former action.
The Committee is grateful for the
wide, public support given its re-
quest, both in the District Of Col
umbia and throughout the nation.
/ The letter from Mrs. Peoples, dat
ed March 6, states, AS you are ur-
doubtedly aware, at the special
meeting of the Board of Education
held March 3, the Board voted TO
authorize the use Of the Central
High School Auditorium for con-
cert, to be given by Miss Marian
Anderson under the sponsorship OF
the School of Music of Howard Uni
yersity." 1t seems to US from this
statement that we are also presumed
to be aware of the conditions which
the Board set forth in its action OF
! March s, af follows.
To grant this request now
before us will require waiver
! Of our existing rule, which pro-
hibits the use Of school buildings
for private purposes and private
profit. Such waiver should not
be made without positive and
complete understanding and
agreement, between all interest
ed parties and the Board of
Education, that this request or
similar requests will not again
be pressed upon the Board for
it's approval
4 The Board has further stipulated
that the Central High scnool may
be used .'only under positive and
definite assurance and agreement
that the concession will not be taken
as precedent and that the Board OF
Education will not in the future be
asked to depart from the principle
of dual system Of schools and
school facilities.
!, AS to the above conditions our
/ position is
~. The Howard University Con-
cert Series Committee cannot con-
cede that the presentation of Miss
Marian Anderson is a private profit
: venture or that the financial interest
is Of significance. Howard Univers-
ity makes no profit on its concert
series, never has, and in fact, op-
crates at loss. The Committee
seeks to present celebrated and dis
tinguished artists to the public II
Washington, where all citizens may
be culturally benefited, even that
J group which is denied cultural and
artistic advantages in the District OF
Columbia by virtue of discriminatory
policies. Further, the Board OF
Education is inconsistent in singing
out such community project as is
the presentation of Miss Marian
Anderson and requesting its spon-
sors to agree never to ask similar
use of public buildings, when it has
repeatedly allowed athletic, and
other unquestionable financial or
profit-making ventures to use these
same public buildings, without ex-
acting any such promises or agree
ments.
{ (2). Howard University requested
the use Of the Central High School
in an emergency. The word, "emer-
! gency," implies unexpectedness and
the hope that a condition may moi
j recur. Howard University cannot
