A GREAT SCHOOL

l don't know by what standards a
college is rated great but I do believe
that Tufts College in Medford is lust
as democratically great as Harvard
and, IN my personal opinion, a darn
sight greater than B. c., Navy, N.Y.U.
and several others which gain much
greater publicity.
Tufts rates above B. c., NAVY. and
N.Y.U., for example, because Tufts
did not racially discriminate or bow to
race distinction by others. 1t was a
great and sincere tribute when the
Afro editors called Tufts a greater
American college than the Naval Aca-
deny at Annapolis.
Where Tufts is delightfully."- different
from most paleface institutions is that
Tufts was grateful for a loyal. hard
working colored man where others
were not and are not-even including
some government agencies.
Tufts has personifed the message
this week by President Roosevelt de-
manding that all minority groups be
given chance. AS all minority groups
have chance except colored, Roose-
velt meant colored.

TUFTS COLLEGE

Wei, you can't blame Tufts College
for the way democracy is often mis-
managed in this country. Not since
Tufts entered a colored student, gave
him a well earned education and then
referred him to job in Ohio without
so much as word of warning by the
N.A.A.C.P. or a lot of hullabaioo. stuff
and nonsence.
L suppose some will perhaps imagine
that Mrs. Dugger's boy, Eddie. "got
all the breaks" Oh yeah, what breaks d?
Al! the "breaks" Eddie got at Tufts
College he earned and sweated for and
all the fame he got at Tufts he did five
mems work for.
They didn't call Eddie Dugger the
One Man Track Team" for nothing.
And he forsook a lot of pleasures in
order to play the role he did. To re-
main great, all athletes are forced to
make great sacrifices.
