DETROIT, Mich.
One woman's determination
to elevate and glamorize Negro
white collar workers, has en
dowed the Motor City with an
impressive reservoir of office
personnel during the past 16
years.
A realist, more than a dream
er, Mrs. Louise R. Grooms, dur
ing her years as a public school
teacher in Mount Vernon, Illi'
nois, saw the need to acquaint
and influence Negro youths to
seek lucrative careers in the
world of business.
As an office manager of De
troit’s Great Lakes Mutual Life
Insurance Company, she noted
how ill-equipped were many of
the office workers who came
under her supervision.
Their ineptness was a chal
lenge, and Mrs. Grooms accept
ed it, by founding, in 1941, the
Detroit Institute of Commerce
Then, as now, the Institute is
dedicated to make the finest in
struction, and the most modern
facilities available to its student
body.
From a modest start, in two
rooms at Detroit’s downtown
Tobin Building, the Detroit In
stitute of Commerce grew to its
present proportions—occupying
the entire sixth and eighth floor.
One of the best-equipped
and plaster of paris Modeling.
Group II.—Mrs. Estelle Swain,
Consultant, Paper cutting and
block printing and designing.
General Session: Mrs. L. B
Daniel, Supervisor of Pender
County Schools, presided, giv
ing an interpretation of the Art
Conference Theme.
Mr. Jaggers indicated that
enameling would or could be
adopted to the classroom in
elementary as well as high
school, reemphasizing the carry

pils.

business sch6ols in the country,
DIC’s stature is Indicated by its
membership in the predomi-
nantly-white Michigan Business
Schools Association. Recently
Mrs. Grooms ended a term as
president of the association.
Never having set itself apart
as exclusively a “Negro school,"
the Detroit Institute of Com
merce mirror the country’s
democratic gains; ready, willing
and able to accept anyone who
might apply for enrollment, re
gardless of race, nationality, or
religion.
"We had to grow up, “Mrs.
Grooms declares, "to match the
strides and needs of the entire
community. This has worked
out exceptionally well, because
not only do Negroes now own
more, larger, and better or
ganized businesses, but job op
portunities have increased con
siderably elsewhere. This has
greatly enlarged the employ
ment scope of our graduates.”
DIC's graduates, Mrs. Grooms
reports, are now employed by
a number of major Detroit
banlcs, in the offices of the pub
lic utilities, insurance compa
nies, in all levels of govern
ment, Wayne State University,
throughout industry and in the
labor unions.
This, Mrs. Grooms describes
as “definitely malcing progress.”
The progress wasn’t acciden
tal. It reflected not only the
ambitious goals and inspired
programs of the Detroit Insti
tute of Commerce, but also the
determination of its founder to
constantly keep abreast of new
office techniques, and the de
mand for Instruction on mo
dern, improved machines.
