Dean Brown, Six Teachers May Quit
Unless Sewanee Color Bar Is Lifted
The Very Rev. F. Craighill
Brown, dean of St. Luke’s Theo
logical seminary of the University
of the South, Sewanee, Tenn.,
along with -six faculty members
offered this week to quit their
jobs unless the college’s rule
against admission of Negroes is
rescinded.
The color bar, they said, vio
lates the very tenets on which the
school of religion is founded, and
the Christian principles which are
taught there.
Dr. Brown was for 18 years rec
tor of Emmanuel Episcopal
church in Southern Pines, until
he went to Sewanee as dean of
religion in August 1949.
The United Press dispatch, pub
lished Thursday and datelined
Sewanee, follows:
Seven theological professors
threatened to leave the University
of the South today because it re
fused to admit Negroes—a policy
that college heads admitted vio
lated Christian principles.
Trustees of the little Episcopal
college high in the East Tennes
see hills decided last week not to
let down the color bars. They
ruled there is no “practical appli
cation” of the tenet of racial
equality in Sewanee’s case at this
time.
No entrance applications from
Negroes are now on file at the
college, which made the name of
“Sewanee” well known 30 years

As^serting that the “Christian
church. . . demands essential hu
man rights for all,” the protesting
teachers communicated their
views by telegram to Bishop R.
Bland Mitchell of Little Rock,
Ark., the university chancellor.
They said they would resign if
the school does not reverse its
position on Negro students, but
would stay on in any case until
the 1953 spring meeting of the
trustees.
Tennessee segregation laws do
not permit Negroes and whites to
attend the same schools. The fed
eral courts have ordered the state
university to accept Negroes in its
graduate and technical schools.
But legal authorities said the de
cision would not apply to Se
wanee, a church-controlled
school.
Dr. T. Edward McCrady, new
vice-chancellor and operating
head of Sewanee, said the trus
tees’ decision against admitting
Negroes last week was “wise and
just” under the circumstances.
“None of us can know with ab
solute certainty what the ultimate
solution of the many complicated
problems connected with race re
lations in the U. S. will be,” Mc
Crady said. “We can only pray
that divine guidance will help us
to better judgments than we by
ourselves know how to make.
‘After as conscientious and
prayerful consideration of the
subject as I was able to make, I
feel deeply convinced the action
taken was in the best interest
of both races,” McCrady said.
In Little Rock, Bishop MitcheU
said the Christian principles in
volved in the situation “are fair
ly obvious” but that “it is on the
practical application of the Chris
tian principles to the situation at
Sewanee that the issue arose.
‘Christian men can agree on
principles and disagree on
the method and timeliness of ap
plying them,” he said.
The Southern synod of the
Fourth Episcopal Province of the
church recommended last fall that
Sewanee admit Negroes. The res
olution pointed out that 10 other
Episcopal seminaries in the coun
try had no racial restrictions.
The protesting professors, com
prising all but two of the nine-
man, theological s'taff, were led
by the dean of religion, the very
Rev. F. Craighill Brown. Others
were the Rev. Richard W. Wilmer,
university chaplain and liberal
arts professor; and the Revs.
Frederick Q. Shafer, Robert M.
Gant, Robert M. McNair, J. Allan
Reddick, Claude E. Guthrie and
R. Lansing Hicks.
