RICHMOND, Va„ Oct. 2—(£]— The question of whether Phi Beta Kappa should take a stand against segregated education in establish ing chapters is debated in the current issue of The Key Report er, official organ of the honorary scholastic fraternity. The participants are Dr. Broadus Mitchell, New York eco nomist and director of research for the International Ladies Gar ment Workers Union, and Vir ginius Dabney, editor of the Rich mond Times-Dispatch. Dr. Mit chell set forth his views’ in a let ter. The magazine, feeling that the question was "sufficiently serious to warrant a more detail ed consideration than letters to the editor usually receive,” in vited Dabney to reply. Dr. Mitchell, a native of Ken tucky who has taught at Johns Hopkins, Occidental College, New York University, and Howard Uni versity, takes the view that Phi Beta Kappa "should demand,” as a prerequisite for granting a chap ter charter, that "no discrimina tion on account of race, creed, color or national origin- be practic ed.” In the letters however, both he and Dabney centered on the question of admitting Negroes to southern institutions. He maintains that large num bers of colleges are violating academic freedom by denying en trance to “whole sections” of the population and are making them selves a part of economic opptes sion and bigotry. Dabney, described by the maga zine as a ‘‘liberal editor,” con tends that for the fraternity to for bid future establishment of chap ters at institutions for one race only would be a mistake. It woulc not cause southern schools to ad mit Negroes, he says, and it migh' have the same effect as abolition ist pressure from outside the soutl had on the efforts of anti-slaverj southerners prior to the Civil War, Dr. Mitchell expresses the view< that existing chapters could nol be disestablished but that the so ciety could refuse to establish new ones. He cites a resolution adopted by the Phi Beta Kappa Senate stating! “The Senate would de plore in colleges holding or apply ing for charters of Phi Beta Kappa discriminations affecting the fa culties or student bodies in such a way as to limit the spirit of free inquiry and teaching.” Dabney concedes that one inter pretation of the resolution would be that segregated education would be inconsistent with the “spirit of free inquiry and teaching.” “It cannot be questioned that complete freedom of inquiry is de nied to a Negro who cannot enter his state university,” Dabney wrote. “But the question which Phi Beta Kappa must decide is whether it wants to inject itself into an al ready delicate, if not tense, situa tion, by refusing chapters to all such institutions. My own feeling is that it would be a mistake.” Dr. Mitchell says that the man date of the Supreme Court (hold ing that it is not enough for a state 'which does not maintain equal separate institutions for Negroes to offer to Negroes a scholarship to an institution out side the state) has not been pres sed but can and will be. “In all this,” says Dr. Mitchell, "I take for granted that segrega tion is discrimination. No one who knows the south, particularly if he has been a part of it, can doubt that. We shall not find solutions un til we study together what are manifestly our common problems. This means the habitual associa tion of young people of both races in the learning process.” Dabney answers that one may agree or disagree with the point of view which “the overwhelm ing majority of white southerners” take on this question but that there is no denying that it exists. Thus: “Action by Phi Beta Kappa in denying chapters to institutions where the races are segregated would probably rouse still more resistance in those states to bet ter educational and other facili ties for Negroes, and stir up in tersectional feeling.” He recalled how "the vigorous anti-slavary movement in the ante-bellum south was killed completely by the unbridled assaults of William Lloyd Garrison and his abolition ist compatriots. The latter were utterly sincere, just as Dr. Broad us Mitchell is, but southern lead ers who were making progress found further headway impossible in the face of increasing pressure from the north.” LEADERS DISCUSS BOY SCOUT WORK > Boy Scout Troop organization matters was the main topic of dis cussion Monday night at a meeting held at St. Pauls Lutheran parish house and at which representatives of five potential sponsoring groups, together with members of the organization committee, commis sioners and Scout executives oi the Cape Fear council of thei Boy Scouts of America, attended.
