Boston is considerably
agitated over the expression of
anti race sentiment. There
have been no attacks On Col
ored people as was upon the
Jewish. But it is known that
Southern bias is creeping into
Boston. Many persons fear
that the prescription of colored
hoSteSSeS at the Buddies' Club
foreshadows more violent anti
race hostility and they want
to stop the jim Crow invasion
before it can gain further
Roadway. Much Of this appre-
hension was expressed at the
Equal Rights League meeting.
Later in the week several
Equal Fighters attended the
meeting at 7 Water st where
a committee discussed plans
for United Nations Center to
be operated on broad demo-

But what was the germ from which grew this remark
able concerttour, and its splendid sequence, the noble
Fisk University?
Shortly after the close of the war, number of phil
anhropic persons from the North gathered into an old
government building that had been used for storage Dur
poses number of freed children and some grown persons
living in and near Nashville and formed school This
school, at first under the of Professor Ogden was ere
long taken under the of the American Missionary
Association The number of pupils rapidly increasing
found that better facilities for instruction were
required therefore decided to take steps erect
better permanent building than the then
occupied Just how this to be done, for while
quite knotty problem with this enterprising little band
of teachers It's solution attempted finally by one
their number, Mr. George L. White in this wise He had
often been struck with the charming melody Of the Slave
songs that he had heard sung by the children Of the
school; had been the director of several con-
cers given by them with much musical and financial sue
cess at Nashville and vicinity Believing that these songs
peculiarly beautiful and heartouching, sung they
by these scholars with such naturalness of manner
and sweetness of voice would fall with delightful novelty
upon Northern ears Mr. White conceived the idea Of TAX
ing company of the students concertour over the
country in order to obtain sufficient funds to build col
Iege. This bold idea seemingly visionary; but the
sequel proved that it most practical one.
All arrangements were completed and the Jubilee
Singers as they called left Nashville in the fall OF
1871 for concerour of the Northern States to accom-
plish the worthy object just mentioned Professor Wmte
who was an educated and skful musician accompanied
them as musical director. Mr. Theodore Seward also
of fine musical ability was after while associated in
like capacity with the singers. The following are the
names of those who at time and another since the
date of organization, have been membrs Of the Jubilee
