Speaker Backs 0uf,
Refuses u. OF South
Degree in Race Issue
sy the Asseeiated Pres.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13.-The
racial segregation issue which has
plagued the University of the
South since last June has cost
the school its 1853 baccalaureate
speaker.
The Very Rev. DR.. James A
Pike. dean Of the Cathedral OF
CT. John the Divine, said yester-
day he has withdrawn as the
speaker and has declined a doc
tor Of divinity degree from the
Sewanee (Tenn.) school because
| OF its attitude on racial segrega-
ton.
The race problem first became
public June 8 when diSgruntled
seminary faculty members issued
a statement against the, refusal
OF the Board Of Trustees to adopt
a recommendation Of the Fourth
Province Synod that Negro can
didates for the ministry be ad-
mitted to the seminary.
State Law Against It.
The trustees said that Tennes-
see law did not permit such ad-
missions. and said no Negroes
had ever applied for entrance.
Then on November 5 the school
accepted the designations Of the
seminary dean. the school chap
lain and seven professors, who
termed the trustees action ''un-
tenable."
DIR. Pike, in a letter to Sewanee
Vice Chancellor Edward N. Nc
Grady, said "tile administration
(of the SchooD cannot hide be-
hind Tennessee law. The at
tempt to do so is dubious on
both legal and ethical grounds. %
He said that the law first
should be challenged and its
repeal sought. If this fails, he
said. the law should be disobeyed.
The Episcopal Diocese Of New
York said the clergyman's letter
was the result of an announce
ment Saturday of the appoint
ment of a new faculty Of theol-
ogy to succeed the resigned in
structors, and a decision not to
hold a special meeting this
month. as requested by group
Of Southern bishops.
School Onicials Surprised.
School officials said they were
surprised by DR.. Pixies decision.
Mr.. McCrady said DR.. Pike
knew about the situation when
he accepted the invitation.
The vice chancellor added:
1T seems reasonable to sup
pose that the bishops priests and
laymen Of the board are at
least as well qualified to Judge
what constitutes the proper
course Of Christian action at
Sewanee as are people who are
farther away and less conversant
with the circumstances"
