case places grave responsibility

court is bound by the u. S. Su-
preme Court decision to issue the
order.
However, the judge reserved de
elslon on the question of whether
the suit applied to all Negro stu
dents in Alabama who might seek
admission to the university.
The suit was brought against
the University Of Alabama by
two young Negro women, Authe-
rine j, Lucy and Polly Ann My
ers, in September 1852. They
sought courses in journalism and
library science and had received
letters of welcome from the pres
ident of the university Letters
Of welcome had also been sent
to them by the dean of women
who had assigned the two stu
dents to rooms in the Adam-Park-
er dormitory
However, when on September
20, 1852, they presented themselves
in person to the office of the
dean to complete their registra-
ton, the dean promptly advised
them that an error had been
made. The law of the state of
Alabama will not permit them to
enroll at the University of Ala
bama, the dean explained
The dean attempted to per-
suade Miss Lucy and Miss My
ers to seek their desired courses

lege for Negroes at Montgomery
or at Tuskegee institute, with an
offer to refund the deposits they
had made on their rooms by mail,
