"My dear Mr.. Enmerich:
I am advised that DR.. w. H.
Pipes, graduate of this institution,
is being considered for the presi-
dency of Alcorn A. and M. College.
DR. Pipes was an outstanding
student at Tuskegee Institute where
he studied two different trades in
addition to his work in the School
of Education. / say further that he
is a native of Mississippi and has a
rural background, all of which
would seem to give him an interest
and understanding of the kind of
life related program of education
that state A. and M College
should persue
"Dr. Pipes has an excellent per-
sonality. His accomplishments
enthusiastically would indicate that
he is both able and hard worker
am inclined to think, therefore,
if given an opportunity he would
measure up fully to it and give to
Alcorn College an effective and
enthusiastic administration.
ut would be great pleasure to
extend to DR.. Pipes were he the
President of Alcorn A. and M. Col
lege every possible cooperation from

which the mass Of Negroes can be

Another one of the earliest things
in my life was the man, Booker t
washington. 1t seems that my
mother had heard Booker Washing
ton deliver a speech in Mound
Bayou, Mississippi, when was six
months old. She had been fasci-
mated by Washingtons philosophy
of education; his plea for the Negro
to lift himself from his lowly eco
nomic condition by getting an edu-
cation, by learning to put brains
and skill into the common occupa-
lions of life; Washington pointed
out that they were teaching those
things at a school called Tuskegee
Institute. Then and there my
mother decided to help me secure
an education, to help me to go
to Tuskegee.
That became our immediate goal
to have me go to school in Missls-
sippi, despite our poverty, until ]
know enough to go on to Tuske-
gee. But that was a bigger job than
we knew. There was no school near
our home when my sister and
reached school age Mamma took
us in buggy and drove the five
or six miles daily to the nearest
school. Often we walked the dis
| lance when the horse "broke out
of the pasture" Then we took an
old house and started colored
school near our home, but this
school closed after two months. For
several terms, my sister and / rode
a horse 'doubleback" to the school

we roomed with Aunt Classic

ness.
In this manner, going TO school
for a few months and then work
ing in the fields. my education was
progressing until two tragedies
occurred to our plans for my edu-
cation. One was infiamatory rheu-
matism, which kept me in bee
helpless for months.
Another setback was a cut anC
broken wrist, which all but caused
me the loss of my right hand. Fol

WASHINGTON-(S n S)-Point-
ing out that low farm wages
threaten the fanily-sized farm,
Secretary of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard told the delegates al the
annual convention Of the National
Farmers Union in Denver, Colo.
Tuesday that fair wages. decent
housing, and good working condi-
tions for farm laborers are essen
tial to the Well-being of small
farmers in the postwar period
In commenting on the address,
Claude A. Barnett, special assistant
to the Secretary, declared that
| this approach to the problem Of
| encouraging further development
and extension of the family-sized
farm is important to colored farm
ers and day-laborers because they
make up a large percentage of the
small farmers and tine wage hands.
Taking as a theme, whats
Ahead for the Family-Sized Farm, .
Secretary Wickard said 81 am
convinced that the family-sized
farm can be just as efficient as
the larged units-perhaps, in some
instances more efficient. In saying
this, l am not forgetting that the
keynotes of the world after the
war will be abundance, advancing
technology, and probable large
scale buying and selling. Even so,
believe that fair break with
its competitors is all the family
sized farm will need to assure its
| future"
Continuing the Secretary said,
ALREADY there is a considerable
body of legislation ana a good
number of programs to give the
family-sized farm that kind OF
break. For example, the tenant
purchase program already has en-
abled more than $4,000 former

Dear Mr.. Emmerich:

name of Professor William H. Pipes
has been mentioned in connection
with the presidency of Alcorn A.
and M. College. In this connection,
I should like to volunteer O. word
about his work under my super
vision.
During 1937-1938 he was an in
structor and Assistant President in
the state school at Paducah. Ken
lucky. In both of these connections,
his work was highly acceptable,
and his personal relations with
other faculty members and the stu
dents were harmonious and stimu-
lating. AS a young man at this
time, he had exceptional grasp of
the educational situation as con-
Germs Negro youth. His training in
the public schools of Mississippi.
in industrial education at Tuskegee
and his experience in the Fort VAL
ley, Georgia, state school had given
him good understanding of the
type of work we required here at
Paducah Since that time I have
followed his work and study at
various institutions, and / am con-
vinced that he is we'll prepared for
the duties of leadership and ad-
ministration that the presidency of

who an applicant for the position of
President of Alcorn A. and M. Col

This young man is we'll and

school man is well known and es-
tablished in this state and in Loui-

teaching at Southern.
I'm my opinion, he is admirably
suited for the position of President
Of Alcorn.. His contacts with both
white and colored people: and his
broad experience in the field of
Race Relations, make him tenn
permentally well-suited to handle
the affairs of Alcorn College in
such manner that he will be ac-

and guidance will fulfill the mis-
