has been censored.
I'm sorry that my tidbit in last
weeks column regarding one or
two models in the AKA's Fashion,
eta looked like an accident CO.
ing some place to happen caused
hard feelings on the part Of the
AKA's. 1t was not my intention
to indicate that participants whose
names We're not mentioned look
ed like accidents coming some
place to happen, 1t was far from
my mind as | wrote that the indi-
viduals who purchased the most
expensive clothes were the per-
sons who looked the best. This is
NOT true My opinion was based
solely on the selection of the ap-
parel and the manner in which
the individual wore the selection.
The cost of the outfit had nothing
to do with my opinion.

don't just happen; you make them.

to turn up may find his tees turn

the University to prove that John
son was receiving equal training
under the off-campus device.
On motion Of Thurgood Marsh
all, NAACP special counsel, Judge
Ford handed down judgment
in favor of Johnson on the
grounds that the University had
failed to establish equality of ia
cilities Indeed, the NAACP at
torneys commended, there were in
reality no facilities for Negroes.
Assisting Mr. Marshall in the case
were NAACP lawyers Robert L..
Carter New York; Benjamin Shobe
of Lexington, and James Nabrit,
Washington.
The method by which Ken
lucky sought to circumvent Su-
preme Court mandates requiring
that Negroes be furnished equal
educational facilities was the most
sophisticated yet devised Mr.
Marshall commented.
Judge Ford's decision may have
widespread effect upon other
states which have adopted similar
devices to maintain segregation in
education, the NAACP special
counsel anticipated.

President Is Self
Made Man
President Harris was born in
Macon county, Alabama, about five
miles from Tuskegee. To get his
primary education, he had to walk
about seven and a half miles each
day he attended school. He at
tended on Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays. and even at that
early age, was forced to work in
a saw mill on the other three days
Of the week in order to earn his
way. He was always large fer
his age and got by with this rig
orous program of living He fin
ished the eight grades in four
years.
The school was a little mission
school conducted by the American
Missionary Association. President
Harris says, My mother and that
school gave me my insight into
life. The six teachers were from
the best colleges in New England.
They held chapel services, and a
full religious life accompanied the
school curricular experiences.
He dropped out OF school after
finishing the eight grade and start
ed working at a cotton mill. Miss
Florence Frazier, principal, per-
suaded him to leave off working
and 90 to high school.
He went to high school at Clark
in Atlanta and graduated in three
years; then went to college at
Clark, receiving his A. B. Degree
in 1928. He earned his B, d. from
Cannon in 1929, his M. A from
Boston University in l930,and his
Phi. d. from Ohio State in 1888,
He made his way clear to the Phi.
D. without outside help, He has
been working his own way since
ne was ten years of age. Never
the less, this early self-help ex-
perience has not embittered him,
and he takes delight in extending
every possible encouragement and
help to students in need.
President Harris did special
work at many other schools and
was already the recipient of out
standing honors and mentions and
honorary degrees when he came
to preside over Philander in 1885
still in his tWenties.

relief from pain can be induced
