6 THE CAIOUNIAN RALEIGH. N.C.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY in_lg7aj Gnat Bkuks la Hishuy BY MISS ELLA L. JACKSON DR. ALAIN LEROY LOCKE Writer-Scholar • 1886-1954 Alain Leroy Locke, critic and chronicler of the Harlem Renaissance, was born in .Philadelphia He grew up there and attended Central High School and the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy. He enrolled at Harvard University, and graduated in 1907 with a B.A. degree and memberahip in Phi Beta Kappa. The acade mic record which Alain a- 'hieved as an uiidergrad was evidence of his outstanding in- mIss , tellectual ability and potential for significant achievement in later life. In addition to this he possessed the integrity and moral stamina which won him "the world's most pretigious graduate scholarship,” "the Rhiides Scholarship” establish ed in 180" In 1907 Mr U(Kke became the first Black Rhodes Scholar and studied at Oxford University in England until 1910. After leaving Oxford, he studied philosophy at the University of Berlin (nr two years In 1918. he completed his doctoral disser tation. "The problem of Classi fication in the Theory of Value. " When Dr Locke returned to America from Berlin in 1912. he joined the faculty of Howard University in Washington, D C. He taught philosophy and Engli-'h and in 1917 l)ccame full professor of Philosophy and head of the department of philosophy He continued on the Howard faculty, except for periodic leaves, until 1953 During the school year 1927-28. he was an Exchange Professor at Fisk University in Tennessee In 1943. he had the privilege to serve as Inter American Ex change Professor in Haiti He was invited to serve as visiting professor at the University of Wiscousin in 1945 and lectured at the New School for Social Research in 1947 Dr. Uuke’s unique insight and scholarl) writing on the theiiry of values, an area of study which is highly subjective and even controversial, won him distinction among his i>eers His doctoral dissertation and his ’ Xalues and Irnpera- lives in .\inerican Philosophv l*Kla\ and Tomorrow were onsidered outstanding contri lulions to the field It IS likely that Dr. liOcke’s most significant influence was iii an area outside of his academic speciality In 1925. he edited a landmark collection of the work of young Black writers. "The New Negro.” which marked the arrival of the Harlem Renaissance. In com menting on the new movement for cultural self-expression, he stated; “Social prejudice, which was meant to hamper the Negro and which has hampered him in economic, political and social ways - has turned out to be a great spiritual discipline and a cultural blessing in disguise. For. it has preserved the Negro sense of a preculiar folk solidarity . . .the root of the paradox, the stone that was socially rejected in the practical aspects of the Ameri can democracy has become a cornerstone spiritually in the making of a distinctive Ameri can culture.” Thus he emerged as the leading intellectual spokesman of the Renaissance • a period of remarkable crea tivity in Black literature, art and drama Throughout his life. Dr Locke combined his studies in philoso phy, education, the social sciences and the arts with his studies on the culture of Black America, and as a result contributed a unique collection of works on American culture. These include: “Race Contacts and Inter-Racial Relations.” 1916; "The Negro in America.” 1933 and "When Peoples Meet,” 1942 For a number of years he directed a great deal of effort toward encouraging young writers and wrote annual reviews of their literature in various publications. In addi tion. he edited the March 1922 edition of "Survey Graphics,” which was devoted entirely to the works of young Harlem writers In 1927, he edited "Plays of Negro Life” and "Four Negro Poets “ In 1934, he founded Associates in Negro Education and served as editor of its senes, "Bronze Booklets.” Dr Locke made three significant contributions to the series: "Negro Art Past and Present,” 1936. "The Negro and His Music.” 1936. and “The Negro in Art ’. 1940 Alter years of writing and lecturing. Dr Locke desired to write one comprehensive book which would sum up his broad interest in Black contributions to American culture In 1951. he secured a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation and a leave of absence from Howard University in order to begin preparing his masterwork.

LeBaube said that one Revenue Sharing question re lates to principal place of residence of the taxpayer on December 31, 1972 while the other question asks about dependents who lived elsewhere on that date. Because of the amount of money that Nm-'h Carolina and its local communities will receive is based on population as well as income amount. LeBaube said, it is extremely important that taxpayers an swer the questions accurately and completely. Detailed information on com pleting the two Revenue Shar ing questions appears in both the 1040 and 1040A instructions, he pointed out. Taxpayers who fail to provide Revenue Sharing information or who supply incomplete data may experience refund delays because of the additional lime required lo process the relurn, LeBaube cautioned J“L lie ' ypw BE^tT^yveT ][ 11ZZ][ i a t Q. s R n IT ACE INCOME TAX SERVICE REFUNDS! -• I Smithfield St. at Holloway’s Groc.i.
