Maryland Has Failed
Negroes on College,
DR.. Byrd Declares
By the Associated Press

President II. C. Byrd Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland charged yester-
day that the State had failed to full
I'LL its obligations to Its colored resi-
dents by not developing the Princess
Anne Academy.
'It is up to the State either 70
proceed with the full development OF
the Princess Anne institution, as has
been promised the Negro race, or to
be prepared to admit Negroes to
courses available at College Park but
lacking at Princess Anne" DR.. Byrd
said In an interview.
The educator asserted "it Is Inn
peratiye that the same high type OF
courses be afforded the Negro race
and the same efforts In their behalf
be undertaken as for whites here
The Princess Anne institution is OPP
Grated as a land-grant college for
colored OF Maryland.
DR.. Byrd said the State must either
set to work promptly to develop the
Princess Anne Academy $50 that 1t
can give In quality and in direct pro-
portion to the needs Of the Negro
community the same opportunities
as are available for whites" or 1t
must depart from the ,biracial sys-
tenn.
While conceding that the job OF
accomplishing this would present
some "knotty problems" the college
head said the university now Is work
ing on plans s4that we hope win sut-
flee to bridge gaps" between oppor-
tunities offered by the State for white
and colored students.
