WHEREFORE UNIVERSITY
ACCORD IS Seen Near

the bitter, prolonged Wilberforce
University dispute appears little
closer.
Governor Thomas j. Herbert
said he had told African Metho-
dist Episcopal Church leaders he
would be glad" to attempt to
solve the problem after the Nov.
election.

operate schools on the campus at
Wilberforce, Greene County, The
state supported school is known,
by court order, as the College of
Education and Industrial Arts at
Wilberforce. The church school
retains the name of Wilberforce
University.
UNIVERSITY DISCREDITED
The schism developed after the
North Central Association Of Col
leges and Secondary Schools dis
credited the university. The chair
man of the church trustees, Bis
hop Reverdy c. Ransom, blamed
University President Charles II.
Wesley. The state upheld Wesley
and named him president of the
new school. This happened more
than year ago.
The situation neared a boiling
point last week when Charles l..
Hill, president of the church
school, led a delegation Of 300 stu
tndes in a protest March on the
State House. A few hours after
