TRINITY 1 I (From The Charlotte Observer.) Durham, Dec. 29.—Duke uni versity came into being offici ally here today. Twenty-nine members of the board of trus tees of Trinity college, being all of the members with the excep tion of Mr. Diike himself, voted ih favor of acceptane* of the princely offer of Mr. Duke, and vthen the meeting adjourned at 12:30 o’clock, after the deliber ation of a little over one hour, Trinity college had become a part of what will doubtless be ope of the greatest universities in the country. ; It was the realization of the fondest dreams of the officials of the institution. All Enthusiastic. It was an enthusiastic group of trustees which emanated from the office of President William P. Few after the mo mentous meeting. The proposi tion offered by the multi-mil lionaire philanthropist, that should Trinity care < to change its name to Duke university it would receive a gift of $6,000, 000 at once and a handsome in come of 32 per cent of the in come each year from a $40, 000,000 trust fund, was found gpod, splendid, in fact. There was not the least hesitancy on the part of any one. “It is the happiest moment of my liff,” said Professor R, L. Flowers, secretary-treasurer of the institution. "“Most of my bbyhood dreams have failed to come true. But this is one of my greatest which has been ,f ul minutes,” commented Joseph G. Brown, of Raleigh, chairman of the board of trustees, in a brief speech at the Rotary luncheon . which was given here at 1 o’clock, in honor of the trustees. “I bfelieve that the action o£th§ trustees in accept ing this wonderful gift will be accepted as the thing to Have done by the people of the state and by the country in general. When people down at Raleigh asked me if we Were praying over t ehproposition, I told them ‘Yes,’ and Buck Duke is draw ing plans.” An ovation was accorded President Few when he was in troduced. He stated, with more emphasis than he has ever been known to show v before, that Trinity was not lost, but that it would remain an integral part of the university. He as serted that, since a four-year college of arts and sciences is the heart of every great univer sity, Trinity would remain as such. Many oi tne trustees removeu the points from their fountain pens which had been used in signing the resolutions, stating jovially that they would keep them as precious souvenirs. Duke university, which was established today, will in reali ty be a continuation of the lit tle institution established in the northwestern portion of Ran dolph county back in 1838. It will include a fully equipped medical school, which may rival Johns Hopkins; a law school, a school of engineering, women’s college, and school of religious training. The trustees will be given a free hand. By changing the name of Trinity the trustees accepted the terms of the $40,000,000 trust, fund established by James B. Duke, power and tobacco magnate, Under which the new university will receive not to exceed $6,000,000 for building purposes and 32 per ceht of the income of the trust fund. The board passed a resolu tion accepting all terms of the proposition made|by Mr. Duke to establish Duke university at Trinity. Memorial} to Duke’s Father. It was said that the name of the college would be changed as soon as legal requirements can be complied with..

To the Editor of the Africo American Presbyterian: You have nojt had a word from me in some time as to the field which I am privileged to serve. .Ever and anori one feels like “talking shop,” you know; so I presume that the reading public will forgive this seeming self-praise. About two years ago next March our church at New Mar ket, Tenn., and the manse also were burned. There was very little insurance. But since then we have been enabled to re place the church building with a more modern brick building, costing upwards of five thous and dollars. We are planning to have the church dedicated in April next when the Presbytery con venes on this field. There is still some indebtedness against the church which we hope will be met by the meeting of Pres bytery, if not sooner. So, won’t the good friends of Presbyteri anism send us a donation for this worthy cause? At Dandridge, Tenn., we are remodeling a manse which has been purchased on a very prom inent street. This will be a val uable property when complet ed. It can be sold at any time for twice cthe purchase price. JBetheT church seems to have taken on new me alter tne re organization of the official boards, from trustees up to the eldership. On the 7th inst. the following named elders and deacons were installed, after the congregation had elected them with the trustees herein afterwards named: Elders: T. W. Pain, E. J. Howell, and W. T. Evans. Each of the forego ’. --- - -mot^ffrom the Deacons: Frfmk ’ and deacon ttus d Neal ss Pearl Ett; J. p. Panels ford, and Doweu Thomas. f AH of the above named y, Sam E. Brad cers have met in their respec tive organizations, and the work is moving on smoothly. Just a word about the Rice Presbyterian church, Newport, Tenn., which was organized on the 18th of November, 1923, with eight members. Since then three more have joined the or ganization. Already the congre gatoin has purchased a prop erty for worship costing about 51200. They hold a clear deed to the property now. The outlook for this field is ; very encouraging indeed. We ( have been visiting this field now about fifteen months and the results of the efforts put ] forth are very gratifying. The . Lord be praised, for His bene- 1 fiction has been ours. W. C. Hargrave, Dandridge, Tenn^ MILLION DOLLAR NATION AL FINANCE CORPORA TION IS FORMALLY , LAUNCHED. Major Moton is President and + Mr. C. C. Spaulding, Chair ' man of Executive Board. Durham, N. C.—Dedicating their efforts to the motto, “Ser vice to the Race, rather than the making of money,” and de claring that, “The future of the Race depends upon our abil ity to develop business, solve Dur economic problems and take our places in the commercial world along with other peoples,” more than fifty business men from various sections of the country mether recently to strengthen and protect Negro business. The occasion was the formal launching of the new million dollar National Negro Finance Corporation. The group of ear nest, capable men of affairs re presenting in theiftselvea. ana tlliir ' iir* li l uTivuio^ 1 vJtil running into millions, who sat in conference all day studying the plan and program proposed, expressed the unanimous opin ion that a step had been taken which means a new era in the commercial life of the Negro and therefore by natural se quence in his social ane| civic life as well. It was freely admit ted that the corporation was destined to be very profitable, but the idea of service is ever to be held uppermost. The organization ‘ of the Na-i tional Negro Finance Corpora tion was announced at the Chi cago session of the National Ne gro Business League last Au gust. .Dr. Robert R .Moton, who original^ proposed the idea, is its president. Mr. C. C. Spauld ing, president ■ iof the North Carolina Mutual, is chairman of the Executive Board, while W. Gomez of the Bankers’ Fire In surance Company, of Durham, who is now recognized as one of the organizing geniuses of the Race arid under whose di rection the plan was finally whipped into workable form, is Secretary-Manager. The purpose of the finance corporation is “Service and Con servation.” Its program is to provide working capital for in dividuals, firms, corporations, to seek and point out new op portunities for profitable ef forts; to create and develop a market for listing, exchanging, buying and selling Negro secur ities; to organize our individual and corporate interests so that they will function in such a way as to bring about a new birth of confidence and assured economic independence; to cre ate and propagate a nation wide spirit of co-operation, coordina tion and consolidation; to give the largest possible opportuni ties for participation in. direct ing and controlling corporate in vestments, as well as sharing fully in their profits; and to fos ter and advance by every legiti mate means consistent with good business, the financial and com mercial development of Ne groes.
